The two part finale of Supernatural came and went but it left destruction in its wake. I am not joking, fans were devastated, Twitter was like a pillaged village after the barbarians invaded, the fangirls cries were heard worldwide…Yeah, all in all it was something you could not ignore. In order to keep the spoilers to a minimum(a task at which I fail constantly) I’ll refrain from leaking to much information. Let’s see what happened though. As we know Castiel has been on the fence between good and evil for quite a while, his dealings with Crowley had most fans screaming in dismay, but his actions were justified by the – he is cute so he must be good logic – and people moved on. Alas, things were not so rosy after the finale. In the first part of the night – Let it Bleed, Castiel was more than unhelpful when Lisa and Ben (yes, they brought them back yet again) were kidnapped by Crowley’s goons. Remember last time when Cas threatened Crowley and ordered him to leave the boys alone? Yeah, he didn’t include other loved ones so Crowley took the family unit Dean worked hard to build and [...]
Supernatural – The man who would be king (or not)
I usually do the whole recap/review thing for every episode, but I skipped a couple – the wild west one and the one where Eve dies somewhat anticlimactically after being a rather preeminent villain for the course of the season. They were both great episode in my opinion (except for the whole Eve thing – she died a bit like Crowley…oh, wait!) building up to the season finale. Not having watched any spoilers I don’t really have any expectations one way or another about the episodes that will end the season, however I had huge expectations about the latest Supernatural installment. We were to find out the story of Castiel(Misha Collins), solve the mystery of Crowley’s(Mark Sheppard) survival and all that and yet I wasn’t satisfied with what I got. First of all, lately Supernatural seems to have turned into a fanfiction of sorts. Each episode makes one part of the fandom or another happy. We get hints of slash between Dean and Castiel, hints of whatever pairing the fans are shipping at the moment, the story alters based on fans desires, which isn’t always a bad thing, but it’s not a good thing either. I feel proud, I have [...]
Supernatural – The secrets are out
Last night’s episode of Supernatural was one of great reveals, we finally find out what Sam has been up to this past year when working with grand pappy. Too bad the revelation is bitter and shook my entire view of his character. Since this season started we got glimpses of Sam, but with Dean’s aid he kept it on the straight and narrow, Samuel on the other hand seemed more content to roll his eyes and exhale deeply to show his displeasure at his grandson’s antics. Can you call them that? I have to say, I think the whole behaviour that grandpa displayed was supposed to make him a more…acceptable character, but it fell short in my eyes. The man is beyond redemption. Let’s back up a bit however and get some background. This episode, titled Unforgiven – a very appropriate title – brings us back to a town that Sam and Samuel visited a while back to investigate some mysterious disappearances. We find out what happened through various flashbacks that Sam has throughout the episode and it’s not pretty. Death did tell him to not scratch the wall for a reason, but judging by what went on this episode, [...]
Jessica Alba
Well, we’ve had an article about her on our site for a while, but I think it’s time for an improvement. For me Jessica Alba was the Dark Angel. That’s the first show I’ve ever seen her in and I thought she was great, though she did seem to enjoy pouting excessively. Dark Angel was a cyberpunk sci-fi series, centered on an escaped soldier from a secret government organization. I quite enjoyed the show, which also featured Jensen Ackles who currently plays Dean Winchester on Supernatural and Michael Weatherly who is NCIS’s Tony DiNozzo. Most people tend to see her pretty face and ignore the fact that she is indeed a great actress and a wonderful person if rumors are to go by. The 29 year old actress has appeared in a variety of roles throughout her active years going from one genre to the other with quite a lot of ease. To mention just some of her roles, other than Dark Angel – that quite helped her make a name for herself, there was also Honey, The Fantastic Four as Sue Storm and the film noir Sin City. Going from role to role she has gained quite an impressive [...]
The return of Supernatural
After an exciting news last year – announcing the renewal of Supernatural for a sixth season, people are waiting with bated breath to see what the new runners of the show will bring to the table. Eric Kripke, the show’s creator has always imagined it as a five season story, unfolding with each season, getting more and more depth and becoming increasingly horrific. Season 1 of the show was the one that set the background for the more and more complicated story arcs the Winchester brothers got to live through. Looking back after the show ended his run under Kripke’s guidance, it became obvious for the fans that everything that seemed out of place during the seasons had a very specific role to play in the grand finale – the Apocalypse that “Team Free Will” was trying to avert. Kripke’s departure as the main runner of the show has created some unease among the fans, uncertain that the new person in charge – Sera Gamble will be able to maintain the quality of the show and remain true to the characters that Kripke imagined. However both Eric Kripke and Robert Singer, his co-runner will remain closely involved in the show’s [...]
