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!
