Review: Supernatural Season 11, Episode 7: Plush

Man, this episode was SO CREEPY! Just when I thought Supernatural couldn’t throw anything else at me, they had to introduce a psycho killer in the most blood-curdling bunny mask I’ve ever seen. And the fact that it didn’t come off makes it even worse. 

Shockingly, I think it was scarier than either of the killer clowns in this episode. The deer mask was the least scary of them all. Although, of course, all the murders were as scary as can be. 

The plot, however, didn’t make complete sense to me. For example, if the sister really believed that her brother hurt her son, why didn’t she confront him? Why didn’t she go to the police? Anything would have made more sense than asking two random guys to threaten her brother and rough him up a bit. How does that solve the problem? Especially because it seems that he probably didn’t hurt the kids. It was just completely illogical. 

On the bright side, I really enjoyed seeing Sheriff Donna again. She’s so fun! I love her Midwestern cheerfulness and long vowels. I hope that she finds happiness with her second Doug, and I definitely hope that we see her again on the show.

Overall, I think this was a fun—although horrifying—episode. True, we didn’t have many advancements in the overarching season plot, but I don’t necessarily mind that. It’s nice to have just a “monster of the week” episode now and again. Plus, I’m not loving watching Sam’s visions. They’re super scary. I’m not sure I want to hear more about them, but I’m sure I will. 

Oh well. We’ll deal with that in the next episode. For now, I’ll just leave you with Donna’s words: “Your life’s one big poop storm.” I think that describes the Winchesters’ situation pretty accurately. 

Rating: 7/10

Peaky Blinders: Season 2 Episode 1 Review

Image
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

Review: The Last Kingdom Season 4 Episode 9

Edward really is an idiot isn't he? Seriously! I'm amazed he's managed to survive as king as long as he has. He has no sense; and he certainly doesn't have fashion sense either. Charging the walls of Winchester like an angry toddler was the absolute height of foolishness. I continue to be disappointed by him in this season. How did Alfred's son get to be so stupid?  On the other hand, almost everyone else is impressing me.  My girl Eadith was AMAZING in this episode. Have I mentioned before how much I like her? The way she killed that Dane and freed Uhtred and the guys was so incredibly brave. I could never have done that;  come to think of it, I don't think I would even have thought of that. I'm not good with ideas under pressure. Eadith did let herself down a little bit because she revealed who she was, but that was a difficult moment for her, so I'll forgive it. I imagine she's going to get through this alive because she NEEDS to reunite with Fina
