Review: Supernatural Season 11, Episode 10: The Devil in the Details

Who would have thought that the devil could be so persuasive? 

I mean, I guess they call him the Prince of Lies for a reason, but I was surprised by how reasonable and plausible some of his arguments were. He even had me believing him for half a second! I guess that’s because every good lie has a grain of truth. And, Lucifer was correct about a lot of the things that he said. The worst thing that Sam ever did was not looking for Dean after he went to purgatory, and Sam has been guilty of a lot of selfishness and bad decisions. Lucifer was very smart to take that approach with Sam; it was much more likely to work than torture. 

However, that doesn’t mean that letting Lucifer in was the correct thing to do. I’m very, very, VERY glad that Sam had the willpower and strength to say no to Lucifer. However, I’m very surprised that Cas was stupid enough to say yes to him. He should know better!

I’m guessing that what Ambriel said about being expendable got to him. All the same, I think that Cas should know better than to believe the devil! Also, what happens when an angel gets possessed by another angel? Is Cas even still in his body? Can Jimmy’s vessel hold both of them? I don’t know! But, I’m really afraid to find out.

Speaking of Lucifer, I’m not convinced that he’ll be able to handle Amara. Sure, he might be able to help a bit, but then he’ll bring on the Apocalypse, and we’ve seen how that goes down! Also, Amara was smited by Heaven. If that didn’t kill her, nothing will! 

We should also talk about Rowena. I’m really and truly upset about her death. I absolutely adore Rowena (or I guess I should say that I adored her), and the show is going to be darker and less fun without her. If I didn’t hate Lucifer before, I certainly hate him now! Rowena had the best and funniest dreams of anyone on the show! I’ll always remember Crowley in his footie pajamas and Lucifer in the Santa suit. 

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
