**HERE BE SPOILERS** One of my favourite tv shows returned with a new season and also with quite a bang. After a season of hit and miss episodes, the show came back bigger and better than before. I admit I was having very low expectations and I have successfully managed to avoid all form of spoilers and trailers until the episode aired last night so I was quite blown away by how the story unfolded. We had the chance to ease ourselves back into the lives of the Winchester duo and their faithful sidekick Bobby (yeah, I know, he’s not a sidekick) with a slow start. Let’s just say it all went kaboom after a few minutes of relative peace and quiet. What with Sam having intermitent hallucinations of Hell, Castiel going on a righteous fight against those he deemed unworthy of God(or of himself in this instance) and Crowley (Mark Sheppard) being reinstated as King of Hell, it was bound to be exciting and it sure was. The acting was superb – Jared Padalecki was amazing as a haunted by his time in the cage Sam, Jensen Ackles shined as a disappointed friend who was humiliated and mocked and as [...]
Supernatural Finale
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 – Hm…And then there were none
OK, let’s start from the beginning. We got last Friday a comeback from Eve, I was wondering where that little Mother of all Monsters went. Apparently she’s traveling up the highway turning Jesus loving truck drivers into homicidal maniacs via a bug in the ear. Yes, I did say bug in the ear…well, it’s more worm like, but my sentiments towards it were the same. Sam and Dean investigate a strange string of murders (but you probably already knew that, it is called Supernatural for a reason) Except this time they have Bobby(Jim Beaver) joining them. I have to say Jim, you look awfully sharp in a suit, but as of season 4 the trench coat is to much Castiel to see it on anyone else. Fashion aside, they are a little stumped as to what went on, until they see Eve – not so pretty on camera Eve – getting in the trucker’s cabin. Dean is a bit taken with the sight of Eve from behind, until she turns towards the camera and we see she is actually one fugly mother. Oh, Dean…you and women monsters, not a good combination. While they pretend to be FBI agents a murder [...]
Jim Beaver
A lot can be said about Jim Beaver, friends, fans and people who aren’t exactly his biggest supporters all have something to say. Most of it is good. Why is that? Well, for one, according to his friends and co-workers he is an amazing person, always helpful, always friendly. His latest donation to The Random Act charity solidified the belief that he is indeed a great guy. He did pay a 5000 dollars donation for the efforts in Haiti and Pakistan, both severely affected by unprecedented natural disasters. But who is Jim Beaver? Well, that question can only be answered by the man himself so we just have to keep on wondering. However he did provide us with a description of himself that may or may not be accurate – Actor, writer, single parent, romantic imbecile. Some information that we could gather about him through observation are – he is an avid reader, he tweets and shares his on-set experiences with the fans, has zero tolerance for inconsiderate persons – like those that “borrow and share” his pictures without his permission and likes to be respected. He makes sure to extend the courtesy back. Fans can see Jim Beaver in [...]
