'Supernatural' Stars Raise Over $300,000 For Hurricane Harvey Relief
Aug 30, 2017
Supernatural star Jensen Ackles is no stranger to “saving people” on screen as part of the “family business,” but usually that means staking vampires, exorcising demons, or shooting ghosts with salt bullets. In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which has dumped a record breaking four feet of rain on his home state of Texas, Ackles is turning his attention to more natural threats, teaming up with his co-stars to raise money for hurricane relief. Ackles, currently filming in Vancouver, lives in Austin with his wife and children, and has family and friends in Da...

Supernatural To Air Scooby-Doo Crossover Episode Next Season
May 19, 2017
Over the course of its 12 season run, the "nearly invincible" CW network series Supernatural has had its fair share of odd and eccentric episodes. From the season 6 episode "The French Mistake" to season 3's "Mystery Spot," show creator Eric Kripke and co. have never been afraid to experiment with the popular series' concept. Sam and Dean Winchester are constantly dealing with other worldy entities after all, so it doesn't seem so crazy that they sometimes end up in some strange situations. ...

Supernatural: 12×15, Somewhere Between Heaven And Hell
Mar 10, 2017
Are you ready for "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell?" Ahhh, nature. Where the stars shine bright, the birds sing clear, and the hellhounds are hot on your trail -- at least the trail of the couple in the opening scene of this week’s Supernatural who, while camping, are attacked. The boyfriend is killed, and the woman escapes after getting a lucky swing at the hound with an axe. At the bunker, Sam and Dean have just returned from what appears to have been a messy case that they obviously won, thanks to the barbed wire bat that Dean mentions John Winchester would have loved. I’m going to give you Walking Dead fans a moment to let that one sink in. Okay, we...

Supernatural: 12x14, The Raid
Mar 4, 2017
Are we ready for "The Raid?" Last week, we left off with Sam and Dean hesitantly ready to hear Mary out about her working with the British Men of Letters. This week, she is doing her best to explain to the boys that, through the British Men of Letters, she is actually learning a “better way of hunting” that could eventually rid the world of monsters, which is the one thing she wants most for her boys. While Sam is hearing her out, Dean is having none of it. He, of course, feels she’s choosing the British Men of Letters and the “better way of hunting“ over them. “You didn’t need just space. You needed spa...

Supernatural: 12×13, Family Feud
Feb 25, 2017
Are we ready for "Family Feud?" This week’s episode kicks off six months ago with a woman being murdered in Andover, Mass., as in 80s style horror film murdered. Back in present day, Sam and Dean are still trying to locate Kelly, Lucifer’s baby mama. In the meantime, Sam comes across a case in Iowa, where a teacher was brutally murdered (sounds familiar) in a Des Moines museum. Elsewhere, Mary continues to secretly work for the British Men of Letters and things are getting a bit awkward with Ketch. Down in hell, Crowley explains all to Lucifer, who ended up not back in the cage, but back into his old vessel, and at Crowley’s mercy. As it turns out, the case in Des Moines leads t...

Supernatural: 12×12, Stuck in the Middle (With You)
Feb 17, 2017
Let me start by saying it’s episodes like this one, "Stuck in the Middle (With You)", that demonstrate why Supernatural is knee-deep in its 12th season with no signs of slowing down. (shout out to the man behind the scenes of tonight's episode, Richard Speight, Jr!) But, with that said, the format of this episode is a little tricky to recap, kind of Quentin Tarantino-esque, if you will. So, though the scene kicks off while the team and a random guy are eating breakfast in a diner ... we’re going to step back and do this recap in chronological order. We start out tonight’s episode discovering Mary has been working for the British Men of Letters, and so far, so good ... u...

Supernatural: 12×11, Regarding Dean
Feb 11, 2017
Are we ready for "Regarding Dean"? This week’s episode kicks off with Dean chasing a guy through the forest. It appears that it’s just another day for the Winchesters, but, before Dean can catch the guy, he stops and casts a spell on Dean. He wakes up the next morning with no memory of the night before. Sam and Dean meet up for breakfast, and Dean doesn’t quite seem like himself. They assume it’s simply the effects of an epic night and a wicked hangover. Dean’s forgetfulness gets worse and worse, and he starts forgetting details about the case they’re working on and how to drive. Eventually, it's to the point where he can’t even remember his own name, and Sam realizes it must be ...

Supernatural: 12×10, Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets
Feb 3, 2017
Sometimes, even for those of us who are the biggest Supernatural fans, it’s hard to imagine that, halfway through Season 12, there are still new stories to be told. But somehow, the writers continue to do it. And do it well. In "Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets," we get a little of back story that we hadn’t heard before: Castiel’s. "Lily Sunder Has Regrets" Recap: This week’s episode kicks off in an arcade where we meet an angel named Benjamin (in a vessel that is a woman). Benjamin runs into Lily Sunder, a woman who is kind of badass, eye patch and all, and also happens to be immune to angel powers, and she's out to get Benjamin. Benjamin uses angel radio to ...

Meanwhile, the boys have been arrested for trying to kill the President, who was Lucifer at the time (insert joke about art imitating life here). As they’re being transported, the Secret Service is giving one another the history of Sam and Dean Winchester. The main agent steps into the room and begins trying to toy with the boys by threatening to leave them alone in the dark for a very very long time. In a random hotel, Mitch, the British Man of Letters, is writing an update for his Bri...

Supernatural: 12×08, LOTUS
Dec 10, 2016
In the mid-season finale of Supernaural, "LOTUS," Sam, Dean, Cas and Crowley (the Scooby gang) continue their search for Lucifer. As it seems, Lucifer is getting a little more particular about his vessels, narrowing it down to people of fame or power such as CEOs and archbishops (leaving a gruesome trail in his wake). Meanwhile, Lucifer is making himself at home using the The President of the United States (POTUS = LOTUS) as a vessel. He had somehow suckered the President into saying “yes” in return for guidance and help. Yeah, because that’s going to work… Though the White House staff noticed some oddities in his behavior, especially his awkward morning prayer, they p...

Who’s ready for some Rick Springfield action? In this week's episode of Supernatural, "Rock Never Dies," we're on a mission to find Lucifer, who's back on stage as a rock and roll celebrity.

Lo & behold!, thanks to a relic they purchased online and used in the summoning spell, it works! Lucifer, in his trashed Vince Vicente vessel. If you recall, Rowena had cast a spell to speed up the deterioration process and tossed him into the ocean, leaving him not looking so good. But, thanks to the young satanists relic, he was able to gi...

"Mamma Mia," Episode Two of the season, starts back off in the torture basement where Toni is questioning Sam in between making out. Well, not actually “making out.” Toni is actually using another potion to cause Sam to hallucinate a bedroom scene. In reality, Toni is cutting Sam up, as she tries to get him to drop the names of hunters as well as passcodes to the databases in the bunker. And, while trying to get Sam to drop some names, she drops one herself: Ruby! Toni seems stuck on that whole drinking-demon-blood-and-sleeping-with-demons thing Sam was into ...
