Dear Echo,

Thanks for the link, I’ll be sure and check it out. I knew there had to be a resource like this, but sometimes I get in a hurry. The Watchmen graphic novel review is next on my list!

Best Regards,

Sylvia

If you’re interested, the Winchester Journals (http://winchester-journals.net/) is a great resource for info on all their weapons. And I’m happy to read you’re planning on reviewing Watchmen! (I need to read the graphic novel too)

Dear Echo,

I KNEW I should have checked my facts on the gun – but it was that kind of week! Thanks for the correction on that. (Taurus – Sam; Colt – Dean. Got it!) And hey, thanks for the lovely compliment too, I’m glad you enjoyed the review, I appreciate you stopping by and reading.

Best Regards,

Sylvia

I loved your review, especially your analysis of Sam’s preference of weapon choice. I always look forward to your reviews, and this was one of your best. I’m most definitely going to share it with my SPN loving friends.

[minor note - Dean's gun is a 1911 Colt, the gun Sam most often carries is the Taurus, just like Sammy himself with his birthday on May 2nd ]

Dear Em,

I know the feeling. Several times I’ve gone into watching an ep to review it, thinking, oh, man, I don’t like this ep, and then had a really really good time writing about it. For example, The Usual Suspects, on account of I was able to riff on Linda Blair.

As for this one…I found that the entire thing was about the three or so minutes Sam and Dean shared in a locked room, and that was pretty much it! (For me, at least.) Your mileage may vary. : D

Best Regards,

Sylvia

Dear Amalthia,

I will look for that Koontz book, but I don’t think it could ever top Virginia Dare: Mystery Girl! Thanks for coming by, I always appreciate it!

Best Regards,

Dear Blacklid,

One of the best, what? You’re sweet to say so!
It’s so funny you should say that – it’s always the ones I’m not satisfied with that people seem to like the best. And vice versa, if I love it, it leaves people lukewarm.

I certainly hope they resolve this issue, or bring it up, or something! It seemed rather open ended at the time, and if Sam’s got a time bomb, why not let it be this? (Though I would also like to know about Dean’s bleeding eyes from Bloody Mary!)

Best Regards,

Sylvia

Dear Robin

I remember looking too, and watching the ep this time around, I think it was (or was supposed to be) right outside that cafe where we had lunch! I think that we were right in thinking that it was telephone pole makeup that had been applied and removed, because I can’t see the townspeople enjoying that kind of graffiti all that much!

There was lots to enjoy in this ep, simply becuase the boys were in it, and I love watching them fall apart. Thanks for enjoying my review!

Best Regards,

Sylvia

Dear Tina,

I’m glad you liked the review, and yes, Dean was rather noble this time around. Sometimes Sam is, and I try to be fair about it. And, with this review, my point was that Dean becomes a better man, when compared to himself, not when compared to Sam. Hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Sylvia

Dear Joan,

Get new contacts! How can you watch new eps starting in September if you don’t have new contacts! Plus, this ep is well worth a re-watch, even if just to watch the boys teetering on the edge.

Best Regards,

Sylvia

You know I severely disliked this episode, aside from a couple of scenes, but your review makes me feel like I love it.

You should read Phantoms by Dean Koontz…it goes into some detail about lost colonies and etc.

p.s. wonderful review!

This is one of the best reviews that you’ve ever written.

I’m utterly convinced that the repercussions of events in this episode will be revisited very, very soon. “The one that got away”… was Sam. Ruby said he has a bomb inside him, remember?

I loved this ep! And I remember searching poles all over Vancouver trying to find one with the word CROATOAN carved into it, LMAO! Heavy brotherly moments, we learn so much about Dean, we find out the YED is testing Sam for some reason, and we get the first half of the HUG REVELATION! This show is always trying to kill us, have you noticed that? Gotta love it! Another spectacular review, my dear! Love, Robin

Dear Sylvia.

Unfortnately, I need to keep this short because my contacts are bothering me this morning and I am not seeing very well. I need new contacts.

ANyway, I haven’t seen this episode in forever but I recall it was a pivotal episode. I also remember a lot of important things happened.

BTW – The CW just confirmed Supernaturaal is returning on September 18th.

Take care
Joan
