Review: Supernatural Season 6, Episode 7: Family Matters

Well, this episode was a doozy!

In fact, if you look in the dictionary, I’m pretty sure this is the definition of doozy.

Let us recap all of the important things we learned in this episode:
  1. Sam does not have a soul. Like, no wonder he’s been so problematic lately!
  2. Samuel does have a soul, but he made a deal with Crowley, so maybe he won’t have it for long. 
  3. Cas has more important things to do than deal with Dean’s problems, as difficult as that might be to believe.
  4. The Campbells are snatching monsters on Crowley’s behalf. Guys, I can already tell you that this is going to end badly. This is super shady and also super stupid.
  5. Lisa is not talking to Dean. Sigh.
  6. Crowley is trying to get information on Purgatory for some sort of infernal real estate deal. Sounds pretty sus to me.
Like I said, doozy.

Honestly, this episode was a lot to absorb for me. It almost felt like it was two or three episodes!

I’m guessing that the plot of this episode is sort of laying out where the rest of the season is going to go. I imagine this season is going to be about a) Sam regaining his soul and b) Sam and the Campbells getting out from under Crowley’s thumb. That seems like a decent plot to me, although I think they’re all really stupid to get involved with Crowley. That’s especially true of Samuel; come on dude, you should know better! To be fair, I don’t think Sam really had a choice.

Anyway, this episode itself wasn’t my favorite from a plot perspective, but I do think it was very useful. I’m VERY interested to see where all these plot points go for the rest of the season.

On a side note, I was interested to see a cute little relationship developing between Dean and Gwen. Maybe they become friends? I would love to know that at least one of the Campbells isn’t a jerk.

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
