Review: Supernatural Season 4, Episode 18: The Monster at the End of This Book

THE WINCHESTER GOSPELS!

I don’t know about you, but I think my New Testament is missing that part. Can you imagine how sensational Sunday school would have been if Sam and Dean were in the bible?

Oh my goodness, I LOVED this episode!

Like, it’s so META.

It’s an episode of a TV show in which the characters find out that they’re characters in a series of popular books. I mean, how great is that?

I died laughing the whole time, especially when I saw those book covers. Tell me, which one of those romance cover models was supposed to be Dean and which one was supposed to be Sam?

Also, I love the horrifically bad writing. Even the Prophet Chuck admitted it: “I mean, horror is one thing, but to be forced to live bad writing... if I would have known it was real, I would have done another pass.”

Not to mention Sam and Dean reading about how people are fans of them online. I love that they’re discovering fan fic. In fact, I wonder if anyone has written any fan fic about the Supernatural books within the Supernatural show. I bet there’s somebody out there working on that!

Anyway, aside from all this hilarity, the really important thing we learned is that a) Sam is not yet strong enough to defeat Lilith and b) Lilith is afraid of something. We’re getting near the end of the season, so I assume these facts will come up again pretty soon, especially since we saw the Prophet Chuck (yes, that’s what I’m calling him now) see something that disturbed him.

Overall, I think this was my favorite episode of the season so far. It was so meta and so hilarious. I adored it!

My absolute fav though was the woman at the publishing house. I love that she has the demon tattoo and quizzes them on trivia about their own lives. (Little does she know that that tattoo might save her life one of these days! ) I especially liked it when she started talking about how wonderful Sam and Dean are and how they’ve been through so much. I was like, “hey, she sort of sounds like me!”

Rating: 10/10

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
