After School Special Supernatural Episode 4.13

First of all, I want to say I was amazed by Colin Ford's performance was young Sam. He's a dead ringer for a young version of Jared Padalecki. It's uncanny.

Second, this episode was different from what I expected. Basically, it was a look back at what life was like for Sam and Dean growing up: always on the road, new schools, new friends, never being able to be who they really were, etc. But because it was within the context of the main story, it was a very superficial look back on their lives in high school. (Sam a freshman and Dean a senior.)

I think the best part of the episode was probably Dean (Jensen Ackles) in tight, red shorts with his skinny, white legs. LOL

I really hope that they continue to use Colin Ford as young Sam. He does a great job and, as I mentioned before, is a dead ringer for a young Jared Padalecki.

All in all, this episode was okay but it didn't blow me away. I really didn't appreciate the over-the-top sex jokes (the cowgirl and reverse cowgirl); however, the joke about the gym teacher getting married in Massachusetts wasn't lost on me.

Supernatural Episode Summary 4-12

I have to admit that I haven't been entirely enthusiastic for Supernatural this season. I've been nostalgic for seasons one and two which had better characterization and plot development. You can tell that executive producer Eric Kripke is done with the show even though there are rumors that Supernatural will be renewed for a fifth season due to it's viewership all time highs. (which several episodes even beat out Smallville.)
Kripke has said in past interviews that he didn't want the show to go on too long because you get into "Jumping the Shark" and he didn't want to go there but unfortunately, we have seen some of that going on this season. (i.e. Monster Movie, Yellow Fever, Wishful Thinking)
I agree with Kripke that the show should end on a high note instead of being drug out until you get so sick of it you quit watching. That happened with me and ER and I couldn't bear if that happened to my relationship with Supernatural.

4.4 Metamorphosis

Sam and Dean help out a fellow hunter by tracking down a man who may turn into a Loupgarou. Dean also finds out about Sam using his ability to exorcise demons and kicks his little brother's butt. (Go Dean!) However, Sam gets a wake-up call by witnessing that even the best of men can turn into something evil if given the chance. This revelation convinces Sam to stop using his ability which gives relief to Dean since the angel, Castiel, told Dean to stop Sam or the angels will.

4.5 Monster Movie

Sam and Dean investigate a series of murders at an Oktoberfest in Pennsylvania. What was cool about this episode was that it was completely shot in black and white and very reminiscent of the old 1930's horror films. This was a feel good, humorous episode that had nothing to do with the central plot.

4.6 Yellow Fever

Sam and Dean investigate a series of deaths in which perfectly healthy men die of heart attacks. It's only when Dean's behavior changes and he begins to be paranoid and fearful do they figure out that ghost sickness is causing these deaths. This episode was terribly funny especially watching Dean, who is usually very bad ass, scream like a little girl when a kitten leaps out of a locker during the boys' investigation of an old lumber mill or running away from a "killer" Yorkie. They even had a special after the episode of Jensen Ackles lip syncing "Eye of the Tiger."

4.7 It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester

First, it was the Christmas episode last season and now they had a Halloween episode. While investigating a man chocking on razor blades while eating Halloween candy, Castiel shows up in the town with fellow angel, Uriel, basically to tell Dean and Sam to get out of dodge because they are going to smite the town Sodom and Gomorrah style in order to kill a witch whose intent is to raise Samhain and break one of the sixty-six seals for Lillith in order to release Lucifer on Earth. Dean tells both the angels to stick it because he wasn't going to allow all those people to die when he and Sam can find the witch and stop her before she raises Samhain. Unfortunately, they were unable to stop the raising of Samhain but Sam was able to send him back to hell using his power.

4.8 Wishful Thinking

While searching for a new case, Sam comes across a news article where a woman states she was attacked by a ghost in a women's locker room. Dean gets excited about helping naked women and the boys head for Concrete, Washington. Instead of finding ghosts, the boys find a series of strange sightings and occurrences that seem more odd than supernatural. They soon find out that the wishing well at the local Chinese restaurant had been turned into a real magical wishing well with the help of an ancient Babylonian coin. One problem with getting what you wish for is getting what you wish for. The wishes turn bad like Dean's hoagie giving him food poisoning, little Audrey's life-size teddy bear turning into a bi-polar alcoholic, Wesley's love, Hope, turns into a obsessive doormat...

Sam and Dean figure out that Wesley was the first to experience the "good" luck and decide that he was the first wisher and thus the coin belonged to him. But in order for the wishes to revert back, Sam and Dean need to convince Wesley that getting what you want will eventually lead to chaos before something really terrible happens.

4.9 I Know What You Did Last Summer

If we didn't know what Sam was up to while Dean was in hell for four months, we do now. This episode is the first we see Ruby since Sam decided not to use his ability (4.4 Metamorphosis). Ruby tells the boys that there is a woman the demons want alive and they want her bad. Then, lo and behold, the angels want her too... dead.

4.10 Heaven and Hell

The continuation of the previous episode, Sam and Dean are protecting Anna who discovers she's an angel who lost her grace and was reborn as a human. (Can you see me roll my eyes...?) Just before a standoff between the angels and demons, Dean and Anna engage in some (if the Impala is rockin', don't come a knockin') hanky panky since it just may be her last night on Earth... as a human, so Dean feels obliged to help.

Of course, the good guys win with the help of Ruby; Anna gets her grace back and Sam and Dean are left to pick up the pieces. Dean confesses to Sam that he wasn't entirely truthful when he said what he remembered of hell.

4.11 Family Remains

Not the best story to come back with from the Holiday hiatus and at the end you're left scratching your head and completely grossed out.

Sam and Dean investigate a man being murdered in his locked house in a locked room. Thinking that it must be the work of a vengeful spirit, the boys check out the vacant house assuming that it is still for sale. However, it wasn't. The new home owner's show up and the boys, unsuccessfully, convince them not to move in and what transpires afterwards is creepy and gross. It seems the previous owner had a dirty little secret he kept in the basement and in the end, it made Dean feel even more like a monster.

4.12 Criss Angel is a Douche Bag

I'm surprised they didn't get in trouble for the title of this episode. Sam and Dean investigate a mysterious death at a magic convention in Ohio. All the cocky young magicians are dying after having altercations with an aged magician who is a bit past his prime and can no longer perform at the level the young ones can.

What was important about this episode was that Sam and Dean evaluate their lives and contemplate the possibility of living to old age. Ruby again appears to persuade Sam to use his ability in order to fight Lillith and end it once in for all. He tells her to get lost but at the end seeks her out, telling her that he changed his mind because he doesn't want to be hunting when he's 60.

Sanctuary Premiere "Sanctuary for All"

You have to give the Sci-fi channel props to going where no show has gone before, but once I found out the the whole set is CGI it took something away from the viewing experience.

I like the over all concept yet I really don't see this show as having longevity. After all, the Sci-fi channel is notorious for nipping shows in the bud after having a somewhat successful first season.

Amanda Tapping was brilliant. I kept listening for any waver in her British accent but she kept it consistent throughout the show. Actor Robin Dunne did a good job portraying a geeky profiler who has tried all his life to rationalize the irrational. I think he will be added to the ranks of actors playing hot geeks like Michael Shanks (Dr. Daniel Jackson, SG-1) and David Hewlett (Dr Rodney McKay, Stargate Atlantis).

Even though the premiere was a bit slow, I'm hoping that this week's episode will prove a bit more exciting.

Supernatural 4.3 In the Beginning

I KNEW IT!!!

This episode shed light on John and Mary's past and it made me remember why I started watching Supernatural in the first place. In The Beginning was phenomenal!

Jeremy Carver really out did himself. This episode was poignant and funny, and only Jensen can deliver lines like "Sammy, wherever you are, mom was a babe. I'm going to hell... again."

What made the episode was the shocking revelations that cast all the dark shadows of the Winchesters past into the light. At the end of season two, I knew that what the Y.E.D. (Azazel) revealed to Sam had something to do directly with Mary. It was pretty much a given. I had two theories: 1) Mary was a hunter; and 2) Mary had made a deal with Azazel. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that both my theories were correct, but what I didn't expect (and it totally threw me for a loop) was that the reason Mary made the deal with Azazel was to save John. OMG!!! That just makes John and Mary's love story even more epic!

Supernatural really turned the corner from last weeks episode. However, once again, Dean is on the mission to save Sam from evil and the only way to save him is to figure out Azazel's end game. At least now, Dean has heaven on his side.

Are You There God? It's me, Dean Winchester Supernatural 4.2

This is a first - I did not like this episode at all. There were a few funny parts I liked (Dean asking Sam for pie and Sam forgetting the pie, Bobby's panic room) but other than that it left a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm an evangelical Christian and I'd like to think I have a fair knowledge of the Bible. However, it really bugs me how Hollywood generalizes Christianity and it always seems to be from a Catholic perspective.



The way Supernatural portrays these issues have never bothered me before there was just something that set my teeth on edge, especially Lilith opening the seals. (Only a specific angel of the Lord can open the seals, commanded by God himself.)
I could try and argue the dialog and state Bible verses to back up my claim but I won't. I just have to remind myself, and others, that Supernatural is a work of fiction just like any other show. I hope that other viewers will seek out the truth by doing their own study into the topics the episode addressed, take the performed dialog with a grain of salt and not as the "gospel" according to Kripke.

Supernatural Season 4 Season Premiere "Lazarus Rising"

Supernatural Season 4's premiere can be summarized in three letters: OMG!!!

Due to last years writer's strike, Eric Kripke and his writing team were forced to push on ahead even though a lot of questions from last season went unanswered. Eric Kripke has said that he will continue to answer those questions but it looks like we may have to wait a while.

Those who know and love the show know that season 3's season finale ended with Dean in hell but in the opening sequence of Lazarus Rising shows Dean rising from his grave. How did that happen? Only God knows.

I don't read spoilers of upcoming episodes but there were some things that I was pretty certain of what was going to happen on the show in this new season:

1) Dean would rise from the grave.

2) Ruby would return.

3) Sam would figure out his psychic immunity to Lilith.

4) Sam would go after Lilith.

The return of Ruby is the one thing that was addressed on the season premiere that has me the most baffled. Dean finds Sam in a motel with a girl who we find out later is Ruby. Obviously, Ruby has to pretend that she doesn't know who Dean and Bobby are when she answers the door to Sam's motel room. The scene in itself wasn't too insightful on the first view. We simply figure that Sam just started living his life where Dean left off. Only when we realize that she's Ruby do the questions start mounting.

1) Ruby has been traveling with Sam which is probably why Sam hasn't kept in contact with Bobby since Dean's death. Is this because she's been helping Sam cultivate his power?

2) Ruby was scantily clad when she answered the door to Sam's motel room. Are they sleeping together?

3) However, Sam tells Ruby that he still doesn't trust her when it comes to his power.

4) Ruby tells Sam that he needs to tell Dean before he hears "it" from someone else. We assume she is just talking about his psychic power. Again, are they sleeping together?

5) Ruby always seems to know what's going on. Did she "see" Dean and Bobby coming and then dressed accordingly as not to draw attention to what is really going on and, if that's the case, was Sam faking his reaction to seeing Dean?

Obviously, this season is going to show the boys butting heads more than usual, especially now that both of them are keeping secrets from each other. Both are strong-willed and Sam has four months of working sans Dean so we'll just have to see what happens. All I know is God saved Dean! How cool is that!

Supernatural Fan Vid #3: Who Wants to Live Forever

This one is very emotion and similar to my video about John Winchester. It uses clips from All Hell Breaks Loose Parts 1 & 2. This focuses on the brothers relationship and the turmoil Dean feels that prompts him to make the deal with the crossroads demon. The song used is from the Highlander soundtrack, "Who Wants to Live Forever" by Queen.
