Supernatural Episode Review: It’s a Terrible Life

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: It’s a Terrible Life

You can read my review of the Supernatural episode “It’s a Terrible Life” at pinkraygun.com. Thank you!

An excerpt:

“One of my favorite conversations involve Sam suggesting to Dean that they give everything up and travel the country together doing good works, and it’s not just because of the First Aid. (Really!). Dean objects, bringing up his portfolio, and asking how they would live. “What are we supposed to do,” he asks, “apply for fake credit cards, eat bad diner food, and share crap motels?” I know the answer to that, even as Sam admits that it’s all a little shaky. But it’s interesting to see Dean objecting to a lifestyle that he previously embraced to his manly bosom with everything he had. And then Sam adorably follows up with the fact that in his dreams, he and Dean were friends, and more than that, they were like brothers. Which is, of course, what the whole show is about, and I love the fact that Show acknowledges this out loud.”

Okay, so I’m stuck at home during this early spring blizzard, and noting, with some surprise, the number of posts over at Pink Raygun, following my most recent ep review of “On the Head of a Pin.” While I’m not going to take credit for the discussion that has taken off on its own, I can call myself a facilitator for providing the space. Maybe. Anyway…I got a case of the giggles and made one of these to send to my editor at PRG, because sometimes, you just have to pat yourself on the back.

An excerpt:

“There is a saving grace to this ep and its name is Dean Winchester. Not that I’m not a Samgirl forever and for always, but I’m a little fickle in that if the one boy isn’t on the screen, then there’s the other boy who is, and just as easy on the eyes. Though, this time around, not so easy on the psyche, my psyche, which got all jumped up and anxious and worried about Dean from the moment the first reel starts to run to the closing credits. Though I dare you to try juxtaposing that sort of fannish love with the equally fannish desire to see him get the crap beat out of him, just try. You’ll come away as I did, needing more wine.”

Supernatural Episode Review: Death Takes a Holiday

You can read my review of the Supernatural episode “Death Takes a Holiday,” which is now up at pinkraygun.com. Thank you!

An excerpt:

“Favorite scene, hands down, was the opening scene. Dean and Sam are in a diner. It could be any diner anywhere in the country, but it is, in essence, their diner, for it is the same diner they always go to: a slightly worn, of questionable health code, non-chain diner. The kind of real place you hope to find on your travels along the blue lines, an out-of-the-way discovery that will have the best biscuits and gravy your mouth has ever had the pleasure to experience, the fluffiest flapjacks with plenty of butter and fake maple syrup (or Kayro, if you prefer), and coffee perky enough to rattle the bones in your toes and keep you flying down the highway for miles and miles. (I love diners and eating breakfast at them, can you tell?)”

Supernatural Episode Review: Sex and Violence

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: Sex and Violence

You can read my review of the Supernatural episode “Sex and Violence” at pinkraygun.com. Thank you!

An excerpt:

“This episode was more about the brothers than any I’ve seen in a long while. Moreover, it was about both brothers at the same time, rather than it being about one brother and the other one is off getting his teeth cleaned or something. (And they both have nice teeth, which tells you something right there.) I have a fondness for brotherly interaction, as you know, so this ep, with the Cain and Abel overtones, the spying and the lying, a whole mess of discord, not to mention a gig that takes such an interesting twist towards the end there, really worked on many, many levels. Why, I’d say it made me fall in love with Show all over again. And falling in love is such a nice feeling. All those oxytocins, does a body good and stuff. ”

Supernatural Episode Review: After School Special

Episodes, Jared Padalecki, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jensen Ackles, Pink Ray Gun, Reviews, Supernatural Comments Off on Supernatural Episode Review: After School Special

You can read my review of the Supernatural Episode “After School Special” at pinkraygun.com. Thank you!

An  excerpt:

Would it have killed Show to accommodate me and all the other fans of The Dad? Seriously. There are two measly little scenes here, one where The Dad drops the boys off and one where The Dad picks them up. There’s also one tiny, little, teeny, weeny phone call. Show could have flown Jeffrey Dean Morgan up for one stinking morning, and filmed these two scenes and this one little voice clip and sent him on his merry way with nary a bobble in his routine. From the way Mr. Morgan talks about having enjoyed working on Show, I’ll wager he would have done it for free. Or, if not, fangirls would have raised the money. What a huge missed opportunity. Huge.”

Thank you!

An excerpt:

“The best and most satisfying scene in this ep for me was the one where the brothers dither in the motel room. It’s like old times, with Sam at his laptop and Dean pacing around. They’re talking about death, and whether they will grow old doing what they do. Dean, of course, is sure that he will die before he gets old, and would rather go out in a blaze of glory than toddle along, shuffling to the beat of the good times that once rolled beneath the wheels of the Impala. Sam, on the other hand, thinks that maybe they shouldn’t grow old doing this, and I got the feeling that he’s pretty adamant about it.”
