The Road So Far: “Man’s Best Friend with Benefits” Review

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK, IDJIT!

So, “Man’s Best Friend with Benefits”… Yeah, it wasn’t very good, was it? Worst of all, the internet is abuzz with comments about this particular episode being, well, racist. And is it racist? Well, let’s just say the whole thing could have been done way better. Especially with the portrayal of the relationship between Portia and James. Yeah, it was pretty bad.

But before I talk about any racism or sexism, let me just review the episode in general, because I know that most of you will not read the rest of my review if you get pissed off at what I say about the above issue.

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK, IDJIT!

It’s here! The midseason review of Supernatural! As midseason reviews go it was not as super awesome mega exciting as I prefer my midseason finales to be, but it was a good episode overall. It explores Dean’s relationship with Benny more and further delves into Sam’s relationship with Amelia.

So let’s take a quick look at “Citizen Fang” and then I’ll discuss how season eight has progressed, and what I hope will happen in the future.

The Road So Far: Hunteri Heroici Review

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK, IDJIT!

Alright SPN fans, it’s time for another review and I have to say, I’m not as impressed with this episode.

This was an episode I thought I was really going to enjoy, what with the cartoon aspect, Cas becoming a hunter, and the various shenanigans that would doubtlessly ensue. This episode was still enjoyable and very funny, but out of all the episodes so far it’s the least well written.

Now, that is not to say it was bad, and so far season eight has been amazing—this is just the first episode where the writing is just okay instead of stellar.

The Road So Far: A Little Slice of Kevin Review

This episode, oh my Chuck, people, this episode is brilliant. I have had a really hard time writing this review because this was just one of those episodes that make you really emotional.

But I’ll try to control myself, so let’s press forward to talk about the return of Mrs. Tran, Kevin, and of course, Castiel.

This episode does a lot in a really short amount of time, so let’s move quickly.
