Featured reviews
My first impression before watching the show was that it was like Xena: The Warrior Princess, you know, but for women. As a man, I loved Xena, or, to be honest, I loved watching the adventures of two extremely attractive women on TV. So I had thought this show is about the adventures of two extremely attractive men through supernatural events.
I was kinda right.
However, character development in the show is quite intriguing. The frame-tale story telling is captivating and you naturally go on watching wondering what is going to happen next.
As for this episode, I will not go into details (because IMDB deletes my reviews when I quote the shows), but if this episode aired today in 2022, there would be no season eight, let alone a finale in season fifteen.
Apparently, Supernatural has some money now to spend on production; and it paid off in spades. Good job, everybody! I've seen many worse multimillion-dollar productions. The writer and director should now have the confidence and the proof that they can make a full-length motion picture based on Supernatural. They would definitely have a good return on their investment.Obviously, I think that this episode is one of the best; in fact, how do you top this episode?
The characters are balanced out, too. No one or two people Bogart the episode, which keeps it fast-paced and riveting. You want to know who is doing what, when, and how; and you aren't disappointed either. A very enjoyable way to spend 42 minutes!
Charlie is of course the star but this is so much more than her introduction.
In "The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo", the storyline with Dick Roman and the leviathans return, but Felicia Day steals the show in the role of the hacker Charlie Bradbury. Dean and Sam are helped by the ghost Bobby and the brothers show concern with the wish for revenge of Bobby. My vote is eight.
