Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Mark A. Sheppard, Curtis Armstrong, Alaina Huffman, Tahmoh Penikett Writer: Andrew Dabb, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Robert Singer Network: The CW, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: January 14, 2014 “Road Trip” is the best kind of humorous SUPERNATURAL episode. It’s not constructed as a joke-fest, but rather has a setup that allows the laughs to come organically out of the characters – even though Dean (Jensen Ackles) hardly feels like laughing at the outset. Poor Dean. The angel Gadreel has hijacked Sam’s (Jared Padalecki) physical form and used it to […]Read On »

Miller Tobin Network: Fox, Mondays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: December 9, 2013 So far, SLEEPY HOLLOW has maintained a good balance between huge, crazy, entertaining mythic plot twists and identifiable human emotions and behavior. However, with “The Golem,” the show dumps just a little too much on our […]Read On »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – Season 9 – “Holy Terror”

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Curtis Armstrong, Stephen Monroe Taylor Writers: Eugenie Leming-Ross & Brad Buckner, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Thomas J. Wright Network: The CW, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: December 3, 2013 The Season 9 arc of SUPERNATURAL takes a great leap forward with “Holy Terror.” By the episode’s end, we have lost one major character, learned that another is not who he seems, someone else is transformed and poor Dean (Jensen Ackles) ends up in the metaphorical creek without a paddle or even a boat. Factions of angels are slaughtering each other. […]Read On »

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Kim Rhodes, Lindy Booth, Susie Abremeit Writer: Jenny Klein, series created by Eric Kripke Director: John MacCarthy Network: The CW, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: November 26, 2013 Now and then, in its TV-14 way, SUPERNATURAL likes to get its porn on (one could call it porn parody, but that’s redundant). There are jokes aplenty, the odd magazine and of course the message/clip that the Angel Gabriel left for the Winchesters in “Hammer of the Gods.” In “Rock and a Hard Place,” Dean (Jensen Ackles) himself gets in on the action, and though the […]Read On »

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Blake Gibbons, Sean Michael Kyer, Kavin Konoval, Dylan Everett, Erin Karpluk Writer: Adam Glass, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Kevin Banks Network: The CW, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: November 19, 2013 In an episode that is about as standalone as it’s possible for a SUPERNATURAL Season 9 episode to be, “Bad Boys” brings us to the home for delinquent youths where Dean (Jensen Ackles) spent two months in his teen years. Sonny (Blake Gibbons), who still runs the place, phones “D-Dog,” as he calls Dean, because he’s got an inexplicable death on […]Read On »
