Review: Supernatural Season 2, Episode 9: Croatoan

Okay, I need someone to explain to me what happened in this episode. I mean, I know what happened in this episode, but, seriously, I have no idea what happened in this episode.

I was just BAFFLED the entire time. When the screen went to the credits, I was just like “Whut?” I mean, was I supposed to have some deep important takeaway from that? I sure hope note.

Like, it was such a strange episode I can’t decide if I like it or not. I’m going to guess that I didn’t because the weirdness of it just made me frustrated.

So, I guess the end of the episode suggests that Sam is being tested by the demons in some way. But, why? How? He couldn’t be infected by the virus...and...what does that mean? How is that supposed to be relevant to us as an audience in any way. I don’t get it.

Also, if they wanted to test Sam, why infect the whole town and engineer that whole little drama? I guess the excuse is they’re demons, but it still doesn’t make much sense to me. Why did everyone have to disappear? Did that doctor disappear too, or was she a demon? We didn’t see what happened to her.

Anyway, in case you missed it, in this episode, Sam and Dean investigate a town that is being plagued by a mysterious disease. All the people in the town are being infected by a sulphur/demon virus that makes them act crazy. Sam and Dean are locked in a clinic with the only unaffected people in town, waiting for the end, when, suddenly, everyone in the town disappears. At the end of the episode, we see a demon kill one of the only survivors and send a message saying that Sam was immune.

Like, um...okay? If that’s not TRIPPY with a capital T, I don’t know what is. The whole thing was too Twilight Zone-y for me.

Anyway, I think the only important thing that happened in this episode is that we learned that Dean is going to tell Sam whatever John told him back at the beginning of the season. At least, I think he’s going to tell him. If it’s a fake out, I’ll be extremely annoyed.

Rating: 5/10

Peaky Blinders: Season 2 Episode 5 Review

STOP EVERYTHING! Grace is back! Oh my goodness, I am over the MOON that Grace and Tommy are an item once again. And, before you tell me that this episode could have been a one night stand, let me tell you that I have seen enough TV shows to know that they did not reintroduce her character just for that. GRACE! I'm so excited. No doubt, their relationship is going to be extremely messy and complicated (because of May and her husband, etc. etc.), but I don't care. First of all, I have to comment on the fact that Tommy has some CONFIDENCE, or, maybe he just knows Grace really well. Like, his whole opening gambit with Grace to skip talking about the past was a bold move, considering she could have walked out at any moment. But, of course, he really just wants to take her out to meet movie stars. It's an interesting reunion, but also kind of sweet? I don't know. I did, however, LOVE that Tommy called Campbell to tell him that he was about to sleep with Grace. Was

Peaky Blinders: Season 4 Episode 5 Review

Where to begin?! I feel like a ton of stuff happened in this episode. I mean, a ton of stuff happens in every episode, but this one was really jam packed. Even so, I still feel like this episode was mostly set up. Everything is building up to the season four finale, which must be really incredible because I can't imagine how they're going to resolve all these plots in just one hour! First of all, I cannot tell you how glad I am that Polly didn't betray Tommy. That's a huge weight off my mind. That does not, however, negate the fact that Michael kind of betrayed Tommy, but I imagine that will be addressed later. Right now, I want to focus on how cool Tommy looked with that machine gun. That's an OG move for sure. On the other hand, I'm beginning to think that Luca is not a very good gangster. Like, he's had a million chances to kill Tommy at this point. Why is he still alive? How have they botched all of these assassination attempts so badly?? Like, the m

Game of Thrones Review: Season 6 Episode 2

Well, I think we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief now that we know that Kit Harrington (aka Jon Snow) will be gracing our screen with his flowing locks of hair and brooding expressions for many episodes to come. In all seriousness, even though I suspected that Jon would be resurrected, I wasn't completely sure because it is, after all, Game of Thrones . (I didn't want to jinx it though, so I did wear my "The North Remembers" t-shirt and paint my nails black in honor of the Night's Watch ( you can follow my nail polish escapades at my beauty blog ).) Favorite Moments: I Prefer Being an Only Child: Hands down, no questions asked, Ramsay Snow/Bolton is the best villain to grace the small screen. Like, I know he murdered his father and fed two people -- including a baby -- to dogs in this episode, but I'm almost thinking "well done -- I thought you couldn't go further, but somehow you did!" I'm almost impressed with his villainy. F
