Review: Supernatural Season 3, Episode 1: The Magnificent Seven

So, I guess Supernatural is going to be all demon hunting all the time going forward. Like, I’m okay with that, don’t get me wrong. Demons, you gotta hate ‘em, amirite?

Overall, however, I just didn’t love this episode. Out of the three season premieres I’ve seen thus far, this one is definitely the weakest. I just felt like the episode was a little unfocused.

Basically this episode just reveals the aftermath of opening the Hell Gate.

Demons are rampaging across the world and causing all sorts of trouble, and Sam and Dean are on hand to save the day. In this episode, they encounter the seven deadly sins made incarnate. The seven are set on destroying the Winchesters, so, of course, they have to send them back to hell.

Along the way, they encounter a married couple who happen to be hunters. They blame Sam and Dean for letting the demons loose, which seems a bit unfair to me. I mean, surely that was Jake’s fault. Sam and Dean just tried to stop him. It wasn’t really their fault that they didn’t succeed. By that logic, Bobby is equally culpable. Anyway, the demons ended up killing the husband, Isaac, by forcing him to drink drain cleaner.

I have seen a lot of horrible deaths on this show, but—let me tell you—that was one of the worst. *Shudder*

Like I said, I didn’t love this episode, and I don’t feel like it really gave me any kind of strong, emotional reaction. However, I was entertained by it, and it did kind of introduce us to life in the demon apocalypse, which I assume will be explored in more detail as the show goes on.

We do get some interesting nuggets of information though. First of all, who is that amazing hunter girl with the magic knife? I assume she’s going to come back at some point in this season. She’s too cool not to!

We also get to see how Dean is coping with the fact that he’s going to hell. Spoiler alert, he’s not.

Although, I do have to give Dean credit for how he exorcised that girl using a bathtub. That’s what I call creative thinking!

Rating: 7/10

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
