While their characters are deeper and more layered than ever before, it's obvious that they have swapped places from their roles in the pilot. Sam is now the dark, agressive one while Dean wants nothing more than to live the life of a normal person. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are doing their best ever work as we watch the boys talk about these issues and in any of the scenes where we see Sam's gradual seduction over to the dark side, and it's impact on their relationship.   [read the full post]

There's even a solid surprise cameo from Michael Weston. When I first saw him, I totally didn't get the casting. But, knowing that he is the real-life son of John Rubinstein, it makes perfect sense.

An enjoyable change-of-pace episode, after the heavy duty stories that opened the season. Back in Season One, Supernatural stumbled when it tried to do comedy episodes, but at this stage in the game the show has no problem flipping between comedy and drama without damaging the integrity of the backstory, or the integrity of the characters.   [read the full post]

Except for the fact that the boys have been away for four weeks, there is nothing to distinguish this from any other episode. But that's not a flaw. Any normal episode of Reaper is a treat and this one sure it. The case-of-the-week has a nice twist and all of the scenes with the three guys are very funny. Supernatural. Season 3, Episode 15.

I feel as if I have missed an episode of Supernatural. The narrative device (of making me think I was watching a TV show) created a distance between myself and Sam and Dean that I wasn't happy with. I feel like I wasn't 'with them' on this one. In fact, they were more like 'guest stars' in this one than main stars. And I hated it. I tune in to be with Sam and Dean on their adventures. I don't tune in to see this kind of crap. Kyle XY. Season 3, Episode 2. "Psychic Friend" Kyle is frantic following a psychics prediction. It makes no sense to me.

"Mystery Spot" Sam is caught in a time loop, reliving the day of Dean's death over and over and over. There are a few good laughs, and we get to see that Sam can survive without Dean, but there's little else to recommend this change-of-pace episode. A funny episode completely driven by the romance. No b-plot appears on-screen, although a plotline involving Frank and Claire was filmed and - I assume - edited out for time reasons. It's unusual to see a whole episode without Frank, but the storyline about the dogs more than carries the episode.   [read the full post]

Easily. Supernatural. Season 3, Episode 10. "Dream a Little Dream of Me" The boys face a bad guy who can enter/control dreams. Placing Bobby Singer in danger is clever.

Good Morning Miami. Episode 12. "Jake's Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire" One of the very best episodes. Light on comedy, but heavy on drama and heartbreak. Poor guy.

A vampire called Dixon enters the picture and - before long - Gordon has become a creature of the night. He's not lost his sense of self, however, and he determines to end his own life... after he kills Sam. So the stage is set for a show-down between the Winchesters and a super-powered Gordon Walker.

She-Wolf Of London did an episode somewhat like this, and Kolchak's later episodes were "out there" too. On stories like this, I really admire the creativity of the writers.

"All Hell Breaks Loose, Part Two" Well, it's not the best episode of Supernatural, but it's a very good one and it's a perfect ending to the story arc of the Fredric Lehne Demon. He even gets his commuppance in glorious slo-mo at the hands of Dean using the gun introduced last season. It's very satisfying. And it speaks of a well planned-out story arc. Highlight? Supernatural (Dean can't live without Sam) Yet Another TV Review Podcast Yet Another TV Review Book Yet Another Film Review Blog   [read the full post]

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) 05.30 Blood Ties 06.30 Kyle XY 07.30 Supernatural Supernatural. Season 2, Episode 20. "What Is and What Should Never Be" Wow. I admire the way this show can take standard stories of sci-fi/fantasy and bring them into it's own narrowly-defined mythos. When they were able to do the Zombies overrun the town plot and make it work I came to the conclusion that they can make any story work on Supernatural. But the episode is not about Sam, it's about Dean. It's about what he wants and - in the end - it's about what he fears. Highlight? Supernatural (No contest. As good as everything else was, this show was off-the-chart awesome this week.) Yet Another TV Review Podcast Yet Another TV Review Book Yet Another Film Review Blog   [read the full post]

"Ex-File" One of the best episodes. The case-of-the-week is so-so, and the twist is the exact same as one the pulled in Season Three, but this one introduces us to Gibbs' ex-wife and shows that his relationship with Hollis Mann is alive and well (I like this character and enjoy her relationship with Gibbs). Kaitlin Olson is hilarious in this episode. When her character gets drunk and passes herself off as a health inspector it is pretty much the highlight of the episode. And that is saying a heck of a lot.   [read the full post]

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) 05.30 Blood Ties 06.30 Kyle XY 07.30 Supernatural Supernatural seems, late in this second season, to be finding it's funny bone. And Dean, much like Fox Mulder before him, is the target of a lot of that. Deciding to make the show's most tragic/heroic character a figure of fun is undertaking a dangerous balancing act but the series (and the actor) pulls it off with no strain. Dean is frakkin' hilarious. He's such a goofball and I love him. Betraying his fanboy roots when face-to-face with a modern scream queen. It seems right, somehow, that this kid who knows nothing of pop culture would have found time to devote his free time to the world of low-budget horror flicks.   [read the full post]

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) 05.30 Pushing Daisies 06.30 Valentine 07.30 Supernatural Supernatural. Season 2, Episode 15. "Tall Tales" I love Jim Beaver. His character is just what the show needs (not that stupid bar!). The actor brings to life the sort of no-nonsense character who would never believe in all this supernatural crap. Consequently, his presence makes everything else in the show seem more real. The two women in the bar, and the computer geek, are prime examples of bad television stereotypes. But a character like Bobby Singer, as the hero in a fantasy show? Nah, you don't see that very often. This is the funny episode of Supernatural. They tried this before (Season 1, Episode 17) and I hated it. It made things silly, and compromised the world of Supernatural.   [read the full post]

By RikerDonegal(podcast@mail2tv.com) Valentine. Episode 2. "Daddy's Home" Better than the pilot. The case-of-the-week is still corny, but most of the episode is devoted to the regulars and their backstory. And a good one it is. The blood-drenched cliff-hanger (flash-forward) really shocked me, and I'll be back for more episodes. Supernatural. Season 2, Episode 14. "Born Under a Bad Sign" Back on form, the show delivers one of it's best-ever episodes. It's a two-hander (hardly anyone else appears in the story) and it's an acting tour-de-force for both men. Jared Padalecki gets to play real Sam (briefly), fake Sam and bad-ass demon. He looks like he is having a ton of fun in all three parts. Jensen Ackles gets to play out some of Dean Winchester's toughest-ever moments (and that is saying...   [read the full post]
