Review: Supernatural Season 5, Episode 5: Fallen Idols

Dean wrestling Paris Hilton to the ground in a wax museum. Seriously, what could possibly be weirder? Not to mention Ghandi trying to bite off Sam’s ear. That’s something you don’t see everyday!

Basically, this episode was just delightfully weird.

If you need a recap, Sam and Dean investigate a series of strange murders in which fans are being murdered by their “celebrity” hero. A good old fashioned monster hunt! We haven’t seen one of these in a while!

They discover that the deaths are linked to a wax museum, which is being haunted by a defunct god who used to feast upon the blood of its worshippers. (Although why this god decided to hang out in a wax museum is beyond me. Surely even monsters find those places creepy, right?) They eventually kill the god, and all is right with the world.

However, the big takeaway from this episode is that Sam and Dean are working on their relationship. I think the conversation they had about how Dean needs to let Sam grow up was surprisingly mature and reasonable. Hopefully they can come out of this experience with a stronger, healthier relationship. Personally, I really hope they can pull it off. I hated watching them in conflict last season.

Anyway, I thought this episode was really entertaining, and I enjoyed it a lot, but I don’t think there was anything super exceptional about it. It was, however, a nice change of pace after the super emotional episode we saw last time. Also, I have to give the casting director credit for casting the REAL PARIS HILTON. I find her kind of obnoxious, but I applaud them nonetheless.

Rating: 8/10

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
