“Nobody knows who I am. Not the real me. It’s like, nobody cares enough to find out. I mean, does anyone ever ask *me* what I want to do with my life? Or what my opinion is on stuff? Or what restaurant to order in from?”
Wow. In this episode we get lady loving, mythological references, and telepathy. Oh my! The main character focus of this episode is Tosh, who I personally didn’t care for on the first watch, but eventually grew to absolutely love (she’s the character most like me and sometimes seeing your insecurities onscreen is uncomfortable). There’s also the idea […]

OK, confession time. This is one of my least favorite episodes of the series.
The third episode of the series dumps us right into the middle of action as Gwen seems to be settling into the team. We also get some Gwen/Jack bonding time and a peek at a more emotional side of Owen.

[pullquote]”I remember the fire. The heat. Then I carried you out the front door.”[/pullquote] We’re jumping forward a few episodes and heading to Lawrence, Kansas. In the past few episodes Sam and Dean have faced off against killer bugs, a shape shifter and the urban legend of a hook man. A woman is unpacking her […]

“If this is an emergency, call my son Dean. He can help.”
“We’re not going to save everybody.”
“Saving people, hunting things. . . the family business.” Just a heads up, if we ever go camping together and an unseen evil drags you off into the dark woods, I will not try to save you. I will not poke my head out of the tent flap and say, “Brad? I heard screaming. Is […]
