Review: Supernatural Season 8, Episode 13: Everybody Hates Hitler

I hate to say it, but I was kind of bored by this episode. I just wasn’t that interested in the whole World War II, evil Nazi scheme plot. Honestly, I think that storyline has been done to death. It’s in so many movies! Indiana Jones and Captain America are just the tip of the iceberg. I’m just not interested in hearing about any more supernatural Nazi crimes that writers have invented. What they did in real life was bad enough without elaboration.

Anyway, now that I’ve dismissed the whole Nazi necromancer (ick) plot, I should say that I hope we see Aaron Bass again because I did enjoy learning about the Judah Initiative. Maybe Aaron and his golem can become hunters too! Honestly, I don’t know what else you would do with a golem.

Speaking of golems, I have to say that the golem in this episode was very unusual. I’ve read tons of books with golems in them, and none of them speak out loud, so I’m not sure what’s going on with this golem. It’s very strange. Sometimes, I don’t mind when Supernatural breaks the “rules” (so to speak). However, in this case, I was really annoyed with the show. It was just distracting, you know?

On the other hand, I did really enjoy the Winchester’s new hangout. I’m really excited that they seem to have found a new home in the Men of Letters’ secret bunker. I hope they’re able to stay there and spend more time there because it seems like a really cool place.

Rating: 6/10

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
