Supernatural Season 12 Finale

Who We Are

This has been an adequate season in my opinion. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t screaming goodness either. Just some nice solid storytelling. I am going to say that I liked this season better than last season. I don’t know why. From a technical and plot standpoint there’s not a huge amount of difference between the two seasons, I just liked this one better.

Or maybe I’m happy because we…

Season 12 finales Supernatural

It is so clear why Supernatural had to complete season 12 as two separate episodes. Each deserves to stand alone. Each brings to a conclusion certain threads that have been unraveling all season and give us a  “glowing” look into season 13’s challenges.  Ackles gives an A+ emotional performance and Padalecki shows Sam’s emotion with his eyes so well.Not giving many spoilers away just that…..

Sam…

Who is coming out of the grave?

Speculation as to who is emerging have been wide spread. Some folks think it is Dean emerging from the bunker after being locked in with Sam and Ladi Toni. A few speculate it is John or Bobby or even Adam. But these poor cusses where all given hunter’s funerals and went up in smoke. Remember, Sam never did so for Dean as he truly believed he,(Sam) would find a way to bring Dean back. Well, that…

Supernatural Season 12: There’s Something About Mary

Okay, I know I said I wasn’t going to write a review of this episode, and that I was going to wait until the finale to post something. Well ,the finale is next week (so soon) and I can’t wait, because I had a lot of thinky-thoughts about this episode, and there was a lot of yelling at my TV.

A lot!

So we open with Mary being questioned and tortured by Lady (Extreme Makeover) Bevell, Lucifer is…

XII : Winchester Brothers Report : “It’s us. Please. What’s wrong with you?”

Supernatural “There’s Something About Mary” (12.21) Original air date May 11, 2017. Sam and Dean worry about Mary when they learn hunters are dying in suspicious accidents all over the country.

Overall grade : 6.5/10

Death, rebirth, transformation. “There’s Something About Mary” had a little bit of everything. The episode started with a death, Eileen’s, in a heartbreaking scene that left me…

Definitely a bridge episode to lead us into the finale. Samantha Smith brings a raw emotion to Mary that is notable. I appreciate “Sam’s tear” as he views a fellow hunter who dies at the hands of a Hell Hound, borrowed from Crowley. (She was strong, smart, and liked Sam. He liked her. So fits pattern, she must die).Not surprising that Crowley is mingling with the BMOL. He is taken aback by the…

XII : Winchester Brothers Report : “We do terrible things, all the time to save each other.”

Supernatural “Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes” (12.20) Original air date May 4, 2017. Sam and Dean assist Alicia after her mom goes missing during a witch hunt; Mary has doubts about the British Men of Letters.

Overall grade : 7.5/10

“Twigs” was a thematic episode, rich with imagery and parallels, and a joy to review, especially after last week, that left me scribbling my review at lightening speed…

Supernatural Season 12: Twigs & Twine & Tasha Banes

I loved seeing the return of the twins from the episode Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox, from earlier this season. I was hoping to see them again because it was fun meeting them the first time, and we got a glimpse of their dynamic. They are just so adorable together. I loved the depiction of their relationship as being the equivalent of Sam and Dean’s, and it was wonderful watching the…

‘The Future” exposes many threads that the series will try to pull together for the finale of season 12. On the menu, Mary and Ketch, The BMOL vs. American Hunters, Lucifer and Crowley, Lucifer and his spawn, Kelly Kline and her child, and then there is Castiel about whom this episode mostly revolves.

Yes, there is the delusional Daigon who manages to destroy one of Dean’s favorite toys of late,…

Supernatural Season 12: The Future

I’ve been away for awhile and hope you guys haven’t forgotten I exist. I skipped the last original episode because…life! It’s still sitting on my DVR, ready for playback, and I’ve heard good things about it, but I keep getting distracted by other shows and movies, and haven’t even glanced at it.  Well, I’m back for a bit, with something to say about this particular episode, because we’re in the…

XII : Winchester Brothers Report : “Whoa, that’s a beautiful mind.”

Supernatural: “The Future” (12.19) | air date April 27, 2017. Sam thinks of a plan to turn the nephilim human. Castiel finds Kelly Klyne.

Overall grade : 5.5 /10

The episode centers around the nephilim. It shows us the power it already possesses, gives Kelly a chance to take control of her circumstances, and places Castiel at odds with the Winchesters.

Sam put his genius reseacher hat on and…

The memory remains…

Just for giggles, pause the screen when Sam first gets the case in Wisconsin. You can read the e-mails. Eating contests, Biggerson’s reward program, who owes for gas in the car, searching for car parts for Baby, Dean’s commentary on cases. A few good memories I saw on screen that I missed at the first watch. These details are priceless for Supernatural fans. So even more to look for on second…

Supernatural “The Memory Remains” (12.18) | air date April 13, 2017. The Winchesters receive an email from “Mick” about a case in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, a town with a long history of unexplained disappearances.

Overall grade : 6.75/10

“The Memory Remains” was a mix of nostalgia, humor, melancholy, confusion and emptiness. A bit of a strange episode, and difficult to come to terms with. I have…

Goat Dude: Memory remains…

The Memory Remains is our once a year visit with a god who needs to be fed. Back to a basic hunt with basic moves that made us love this show. The BMOL sends our boys out so Ketch and his cronies can infiltrate the bunker. Ketch wants to know how many flannel shirts Dean has, what Sam uses in his hair, and place a listening device in the bunker.  These queries fewl like they are taken from…

Supernatural Season 12: The British Invasion

Okay, I skipped last week’s episode, because I wasn’t in any kind of mood, or mindset, to put up with Claire. I’m sure I missed some great moments between the brothers, but I’m not a fan of Claire, and I’m tired of looking at her, no matter how few times she appears on the show. So! I didn’t review that one because I didn’t watch it.

But that said:

I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!

I knew those…

XII : Winchester Brothers Report : “Did you break into our house?”

Overall grade : 6.5/10

“The British Invasion” had a lot going on. Five fatalities, a plethora of characters, childhood flashbacks, an unholy tryst, and what some might consider an…
