Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Mark A. Sheppard, Timothy Omundson, Rachel Hayward Writer: Robbie Thompson, series created by Eric Kripke Director: John Badham Network: The CW, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: January 21, 2014 Directed by John Badham – yes, the helmer of the Frank Langella DRACULA, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER and WARGAMES, among other credits – the SUPERNATURAL episode “First Born” comes up with a surprising yet logical (within the context of the show) bit of mythology, while working buddy comedy from two separate angles. While Dean (Jensen Ackles) is out on the road hunting Gadriel, he […]Read On »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – Season 9 – “Road Trip”

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 »

Interview: SUPERNATURAL guest star Richard Speight Jr. is a trickster and more

Richard Speight Jr. is known to a whole bunch of different viewers for his work on a wide variety of projects. Fans of HBO’s 2001 miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS recognize the Tennessee-born actor as Sgt. Warren “Skip” Muck. Those familiar with the series THE AGENCY remember Speight as Lex. On the near-future post-apocalyptic JERICHO, Speight played Bill, and on JUSTIFIED, he’s recurred as not-very-bright crook Jed Berwind. Speight’s role over four episodes of SUPERNATURAL – currently in its ninth season on the CW, Tuesdays at 9 PM – is notable, for a number of reasons, one being that he played three […]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 »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – Season 9 – “Rock and a Hard Place”

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 »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – Season 9 – “Heaven Can’t Wait”

Osric Chau, Jared Padalecki and Mark A. Sheppard in SUPERNATURAL - Season 9 - "Heaven Can't Wait" | ©2012 The CW/Diyah Pera

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Mark A. Sheppard, Osric Chau, Alaina Huffman, Ashton Holmes, Tanya Clarke Writer: Robert Berens, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Rob Spera Network: The CW, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: November 12, 2013 SUPERNATURAL inches the seasonal arc forward with “Heaven Can’t Wait,” an episode that plants hints of what is to come. Mostly, “Heaven” is a mixture of comedy, with Castiel is now calling himself Steve and working diligently at a gas station convenience store, and mild angst, with Castiel still not knowing why Dean (Jensen Ackles) sent him away and […]Read On »

There is an Internet meme that’s a collage of actor Mark A. Sheppard in some of his many recurring genre TV roles – as King of Hell Crowley in SUPERNATURAL, as interplanetary fence Badger in FIREFLY, as Romo Lampkin in BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, as Tanaka in DOLLHOUSE, as Benedict Valda in WAREHOUSE 13, as insurance investigator Jim Sterling in LEVERAGE, as Canton Everett Delaware III in DOCTOR WHO, to name a few. There is an accompanying caption to the effect of, “If you don’t recognize this man, turn in your geek credentials.” London-born Sheppard also has feature film credits, including IN […]Read On »

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Leslie Jordan, Steve Valentine, Al Rodrigo Writers: Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Tim Andrew Network: The CW, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: November 5, 2013 SUPERNATURAL tells us right up front that “Dog Dean Afternoon” is going to be one of its relatively light segments. The “Then” section, although it does have the bits necessary to keep us up to speed with the story arc, is mainly a montage of comedic bits that’s actually funnier than some of the episodes represented here. Dean (Jensen Ackles) is still worried […]Read On »
