No synopsis could possibly do this episode justice – “Changing Channels” simply must be watched — and, ideally, rewatched — to be appreciated properly. Therefore, the plot summary portion of this review will be brief. Conversely, I’ve got quite a bit of analysis I’d like to put out there for discussion, so please bear with [...]
Let me get right to it: I thought the central mystery of this episode was pretty weak. As Supernatural ghost-hunting stories go, it was lackluster. The show has done ghost stories much better. Season 4, Episode 17 (It’s a Terrible Life) comes to mind, as do practically any of their other episodes involving ghosts.
The premise [...]
“People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen” – American Gods (Neil Gaiman)
The central conceit of Neil Gaman’s 2001 novel “American Gods” is that gods and other supernatural beings owe their very existence to the belief of mankind. Gaiman’s book explores how gods’ powers wax and [...]
Supernatural 5.03, “Free to Be You and Me,” was an enjoyable and solid episode, but I find myself without much to say about it. It was fun, but I didn’t particularly care for the way Castiel was portrayed in the episode: I had a hard time reconciling the character we’ve come to know, a no-nonsense [...]
Maple Street, USA. Late Summer. A tree-lined little world of front porch gliders, barbecues, the laughter of children, and the bell of an ice cream vendor. At the sound of the roar and a flash of light, it will be precisely 6:43 PM on Maple Street.
– From the introductory voice-over to “The Monsters are Due [...]
And… we’re back.
The 5th Season opener of Supernatural wastes not a moment diving right into the main story arc. The demons are still thugs, the angels are still thugs too, Sam and Dean are still caught in the middle and in the throes of their dysfunctional relationship, and all hell is — literally — breaking [...]

Awesome, awesome, awesome. The 18th episode of the 4th season of Supernatural gets the mix absolutely right, for me. It has comedy. It has horror. It has angels and demons. It makes reference to muppets and classic rock; to sex and to the apocalypse. What more could you ask for? How about a guided tour [...]
