SPN 6.01 - This is where we are?

yourlibrarianSera Gamble definitely took a page from 4.01 in this premiere, though it lacked that episode's strong finish and the choice of monster-of-the-week was decidedly unwise.
yourlibrarianKicking off a season
Sep. 21st, 2010 02:06 pmyourlibrarianI've been trying to avoid any and all spoilers for SPN S6 so I have absolutely no idea how the new season will open. But looking back at S5 episodes did make me think of how season premieres figure into the rest of the season.
The best written episodes of SPN S5
Sep. 19th, 2010 04:01 pmyourlibrarianI realized that the new season of SPN is about to begin and I hadn't yet done my annual "best written" episodes of the previous season. I'm not surprised it slipped my mind because there wasn't a lot of thinking that had to go into this one.
yourlibrarianIn the course of looking up an older post I came across what I wrote last year about hospitalizations in SPN. I realized there had been an important change in S5, namely that Sam has finally been a patient. But I think Sam Interrupted ends up revealing a more audience-directed reason for the pattern.
Son of Hellstrom?
May. 26th, 2010 03:24 pmyourlibrarianThis may have been discussed somewhere already by people more familiar with comics than I am, but I found some curious similarities between Daimon Hellstrom and Sam Winchester, and the overall set-up of SPN. I first came across him because I saw a reference to the comic series The Supernaturals which featured his sister, Satana.
SPN 5.22 - Paging T.S. Eliot
May. 14th, 2010 07:58 pmyourlibrarianWell, as with other SPN finales, I was glad this wouldn't be the last we'd see of the show. However, it was for a rather different reason than usual.
SPN 5.21 - That's it?
May. 7th, 2010 07:02 pmyourlibrarianBefore the episode, ash48 posted a hypothetical list Dean would have to go through to wrap up this season’s hanging threads. Unfortunately, despite being simply a list it was more entertaining than the penultimate episode.

SPN 5.20 - Was this back or forward?
Apr. 30th, 2010 07:17 pmyourlibrarianI had mixed feelings about this episode, as it provided some new twists and character development but it also seemed to leave too much unexplained. Devil You Know underscored a growing problem in the series.
SPN 5.19 - The flies in the soup
Apr. 23rd, 2010 07:42 pmyourlibrarianI was pleasantly fooled here. From the previews, it seemed we were about to take a turn into a poorly placed MotW story. However, as was the case last season, once the final six episodes arrived, the series finally started picking up the pace in addressing the seasonal arc.
SPN 5.18 - Looks like they made it
Apr. 16th, 2010 05:16 pmyourlibrarianThis latest episode was notable in giving all the characters interesting things to say and do. “Point of No Return” gathered quite a few players and took them places, which is something I wish I could have seen more often this season.
yourlibrarian99 Problems could have been an enormous letdown after last week. The fact that it wasn't already says something.
SPN 5.16.- And we got one!
Apr. 2nd, 2010 04:06 pmyourlibrarianI think that may have been my favorite SPN episode ever. Holy cow, I didn't think it was possible for me to feel this for the show anymore, but just a quarter of the way in, I already felt more moved by it than by any other episode.
SPN 5.15 - We need a writing resurrection
Mar. 26th, 2010 10:35 pmyourlibrarian“Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” struck me much as Sam Interrupted did, a potentially interesting premise that never really went anywhere, didn’t have a great deal of suspense and also didn’t follow well on the drama of the previous episode.
Love and families in SPN
Mar. 5th, 2010 06:08 pmyourlibrarianI've been musing on something since my last question post about SPN. Some comments by applepie and facetofcathy started me thinking about something that I haven't seen anyone raise regarding the issue of family.
SPN 5.13 - Lots of messes
Feb. 12th, 2010 09:12 pmyourlibrarianFrom a horror standpoint, this episode was quite a success. I can say with authority that it will put you off your dinner. I think that JA spent the entire episode feeling a fine case of schadenfreude.
yourlibrarianFortunately there was no truth in advertising in this week's episode title. I imagine Sera Gamble was delighted to have a crack at this storyline. They would also have to have bungled it a lot more than they did for me to be unhappy with it.
SPN 5.12 - I just got my daiquiri
Jan. 29th, 2010 03:31 pmyourlibrarianFinally, the show is back. It’s not that Swap Meat had fewer plot holes than usual, ha HA, no. But at least it had some important elements that made for a watchable, even memorable episode.
SPN 5.11- Where have I seen this before?
Jan. 22nd, 2010 07:19 pmyourlibrarianI have to say I was feeling less than enthusiastic about reviewing this episode, not because it was awful but because I just didn't find it very engaging. And then I realized what part of the problem was.
SPN 5.10 - A sign of hope
Nov. 21st, 2009 10:12 pmyourlibrarianBen Edlund, at this rate you're looking like the only writer who is giving us something worth watching.
