May sweeps are over, and I'm taking a week off from writing. I'll be back the first week of June and starting my summer reviewing projects.
Since Veronica Mars is now gone, I can take on another currently running show. It probably won't surprise you to hear that I'm taking on Supernatural, since I'm sort of half reviewing it already.
Supernatural 2.22: All Hell breaks loose
Jake: "We're soldiers in a demon war to bring on the Apocalypse?"
Sam: "Well, when you put it like that..."
It's resurrection time. Although what else could they do? It's a two character show; we're not going to buy into them killing off one of them. Unless the series was ending, and it's not.
Unlike Sam, I was definitely expecting them to kill off Bobby and/or Ellen, and they didn't. I'm glad they didn't. I think Bobby in particular works better as a supporting character than Daddy Winchester did, although I did love Daddy coming up from Hell to save the day. Night. Anyway, the Dean/Bobby scene about Dean's Deal might have been the strongest in the season so far. Just excellent.
I'm glad the yellow-eyed demon plot is over, because it was time for it to be over. And it's going to be big with the repercussions; they just gave Dean and Sam fuel for an entire third season of emotional angst, as well as a couple of hundred more demons to fight. They even built in the third season finale, if it takes Sam that long to figure out how to untangle Dean from his deal with the Crossroads Demon. Which it probably will.
Season one was fairly light. Season two has been a good bit darker. Sounds like season three is going into the charcoal range. Can't wait.
Bits and pieces:
-- I haven't mentioned it before, but I love the "then" and "now" previously on's set to classic rock. They're special.
-- Ash of the world-class mullet is dead. I liked Ash. At least Ellen is still alive. I thought they were going to do her in. I kind of like her and Bobby as substitute parents for the boys. It works.
-- Where's Jo? She wasn't even mentioned.
-- Andy: "I just woke up in friggin' Frontier Land."
-- Dean: "Well, check that off the to-do list."
-- Sam: "Did you sell your soul for me, like Dad did for you?"
Supernatural has had an outstanding second season, and I can't wait for the third. Four out four silver bullets,
Billie

Spider-man 3: an embarrassment of riches
This is one of those movies that I couldn't stop re-writing in my head in a vain attempt to fix it. Yes, it was visually stunning, a cinematic knock-out. There was an awful lot to like. So why couldn't I wait for it to be over?
