Supernatural: Long Distance Call

Got Hands, In Pockets
by Sylvia Bond
A Supernatural Episode Review, Season Three – Episode 14
“Long Distance Call”

The teaser opens with a guy on the phone talking to his paramour. He’s trying to get rid of her, and hangs up. He gets so frustrated when she calls back that he rips the phone out of the wall. When this happens, I’m thinking to myself that the phone company isn’t going to like that, no, not at all. Then afterwards, as the phone sits silent on the floor, I KNEW that it was going to ring, and it did. Then, the guy kills himself and there is blood everywhere. This was a little predictable, but fun. read more »

Supernatural: Ghostfacers

Alas, Poor Corbett!

Supernatural Episode Review - Season Three, Episode 13
“Ghostfacers”

Dean and the FingerThe opening of this episode was cute. I appreciated the way it poked fun at the recent writer’s strike, and enjoyed the whole “fat cat” style with which Ed and Harry, our intrepid ghost hunters from Season Two, present their unsolicited pilot episode for their new show idea. In spite of being hindered by Sam and Dean last season, the geeky Ed and Harry managed to finagle it somehow. They’ve done what so many have talked of, but never acted on. They’ve created their pilot and are well on their way to that RPG as well as fame and fortune. And sex. With girls. Way to go Ed and Harry! (They are also leaving Kinko’s further behind them with every step they take. And was it just me or did the ghostfacer’s theme song sound vaguely like the song “We Are the Pirates,” from The Pirate Movie starring Christopher Atkins?) read more »

Supernatural: In My Time of Dying

Stupid, Macho Showdown

Sylvia Bond

Supernatural Episode Review, Season Two - Episode One
“In My Time of Dying”

When this ep opens, Sam is the only one conscious on account of his body was shielded from The Impact by The Dad’s and, symbolically, by Dean’s. This should set you up to realize what a very, very good ep this is even though it never won an Emmy. (It should have, I tells ya!) It contains, to misquote the hooker from Risky Business, “What all the fans on the lakeshore want.” It’s got angst and darkness, sacrifice and love, brotherly conversations and fatherly silences. It rocks so hard that you only have to see it once a year to be completely undone, not only by the fabbo script, directing, camera work, and acting, but by the sheer adorability factor of Dean walking around for the entire episode in his jammies. Now that’s what I call good TV! read more »

Supernatural: Pilot

Slipping the Surly Bonds of TV
by Sylvia Bond
Supernatural Episode Review, Season One - Episode One
“Pilot”

The Family WinchesterIn the beginning, Kripke came up with a pretty basic premise: two brothers, a black Impala, and a whole lotta saving people, hunting things on the longest road trip ever. There were other variations on this theme along the way, but this is what was finally filmed for the Pilot episode. And then the thing took off like it had wings. Up into the long, delirious, burning blue and has not had to land since. read more »
