Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Alexander Calvert, Ruth Connell, Katherine Evans, Philippe Bowgen Writer: Steve Yockey, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Amyn Kaderali Network: The CW, Thursdays @ 8 PM Original Airdate: March 7, 2019 For all the buildup and angst the archangel Michael Possessing Dean (Jensen Ackles) arc has gotten, the SUPERNATURAL Season 14 episode truncates it in surprisingly sudden fashion. This of course makes us wonder what the real big endgame of the season will be. We’re in New Mexico, with Noah Ophis (Philippe Bowgen), who seems to be a wealthy cannibal, a la Hannibal […]Read On »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – Season 14 – “Nihilism”

Jensen Ackles as Dean/Michael in SUPERNATURAL - Season 14 - "Nihilism"| ©2018 The CW Network, LLC/Dean Buscher

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Alexander Calvert, Thunderbird Dinwiddie, Katherine Evans, Lisa Berry, Panta Mosleh Writer: Steve Yockey, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Amanda Tapping Network: The CW, Thursdays @ 8 PM Original Airdate: January 17, 2019 To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, to have Dean (Jensen Ackles) possessed once by the archangel Michael may be regarded as a misfortune; to have him possessed twice within the span of eight episodes looks like carelessness. Well, okay, it’s still a misfortune, and not really the guys’ fault, but still, haven’t we handled this once already? Per the SUPERNATURAL Season 14 […]Read On »

Sam is on a case with alt-universe Charlie (Felicia Day), while Jack (Alexander Calvert) convinces Dean to go Hunting with him. Jack in fact makes a persuasive pitch to Dean, who is feeling guilty about letting the evil […]Read On »

Yours truly doesn’t claim to be the ultimate arbiter of films, just a watcher and chronicler who has opinions. This list, then, is according to those opinions, with no claim to empirical scale. 1917 – This slightly dreamlike World War I drama is crafted so that it appears to take place in a handful of long tracking shots that swirl around the characters. We feel that we are there on the ground with a couple of young, determined English soldiers as they try to prevent an ambush, at the same time that we sometimes think we may be hallucinating. It’s […]Read On »
