Review: Supernatural Season 4, Episode 21: When the Levee Breaks

Man was this episode ever hard to watch. 

I mean, it was BRUTAL.

Watching this episode was just emotionally exhausting! I felt bad for everyone in this episode but especially for Dean. How much more is Dean going to have to go through???

Like, it isn’t bad enough that he had to raise Sam and go to hell for him? Now he has to watch his brother possibly turn into a demon or face the fact that Sam might die? For goodness sake, there’s only so much emotional abuse one person can take!

Not to downplay the abuse Sam took in this episode. I mean, he brought it on himself for sure, but it was so, so hard to watch him hallucinating and thinking that he’s being tortured. And it must have been even more agonizing for him to face his own subconscious. I know that it was hard enough for me to just watch it.

I will say though that Dean did the right thing. Detoxing was the best thing for Sam. As hard as it was for Dean to watch and Sam to live through, it probably would have worked in the end. That is, if Cas hadn’t opened the door!

I HATE him for that! I mean, what is he doing???

THESE ANGELS!

Why do they ruin everything??

Also, they better not hurt Anna! I need her to come back in season five to be Dean’s on-again, off-again flame. (I still ship them together. Hard.)

On an unrelated note, two thumbs up for the Led Zeppelin reference in this episode title. As always, I love the classic rock references.

Rating: 8/10

Peaky Blinders: Season 2 Episode 1 Review

Okay, I cannot tell a lie, I was not the biggest fan of this episode. Like, don't get me wrong, it's still Peaky Blinders , so it's automatically better than like 90% of shows out there, but this was not its best moment. In my opinion, anyway. First of all, I am supremely annoyed by the time jump. Like, I don't mind when shows do time jumps when nothing much happens, but it seemed like a LOT happened here. First of all, Freddie died offscreen?????????? I cannot express to you how much I am NOT okay with that. I'm guessing there was some issue with the actor's contract because I can't imagine that the writers would choose to kill a major character offscreen. Like, that was so un-cool. At the very least, we earned a dramatic death scene and a wake in the Garrison! Also, it appears that Ada and Freddie were living in London. So, if they were okay with that, why did Freddie refuse to leave Birmingham in season one??? I am retroactively frustrated wit

Peaky Blinders: Season 1 Episode 1 Review

So, I have to admit that people have been telling me to watch Peaky Blinders for years, but, somehow, I never got around to it, which is strange because, on the surface,  Peaky Blinders  is everything I like in television. It's a period drama, set in England, with a dark, brooding, leading man; I should love it, right? Well, I'm not sure why I resisted watching it for so long because this show is FAN-TASTIC. I mean, I've only seen the first episode at this point, but I can already tell that it is really and truly wonderful. First of all, where has Cillian Murphy been all my life? How is he like the best actor ever, and I've never heard of him? Maybe he's big in the UK and not so much in the US? Or maybe I've been living under a rock? I don't know. (After I saw him in this show, I did look up his filmography, and I realized that I must have seen him in Girl with a Pearl Earring, In the Heart of the Sea,  and Cold Mountain , but I haven't seen any of

Peaky Blinders: Season 2 Episode 6 Review

Oh my goodness, THE DRAMA! THE D-R-A-M-A. As I was watching this episode, I actually had to pause a couple of times to let the sheer dramatic-ness of the situations wash over me. It was just all so DRAMATIC. Okay, let me take a deep breath, and then we can actually talk about the episode. First things first, Tommy and Grace are getting married! What gift should I send to the wedding, I am so unbelievably happy for them. Well, I think I'm mostly happy for Tommy, but Grace can get a share of that too. At least, I assume they're getting married. Tommy said it out loud, which means it will eventually come true. Although, I'm not sure if Grace knows they're getting married yet. And what are they going to do about that nice man from Poughkeepsie??????? The other problem with this situation is Grace only seemed interested in getting back with Tommy after she knew she was pregnant with his baby. Like, did she not love him before she knew that?? Or, maybe the pregn
