Supernatural, “Two and a Half Men”
I was very harsh on the season premiere of Supernatural. And to be frank, the more I thought about the episode, the more I hated it. It’s honestly one of my least favorite episodes in the whole run. I’m getting angry just thinking about it. With that being said, I found “Two and a Half Men” […]

Despite its use of demons, angels, urban legends and more, Supernatural has always, always been about family.

But in tonight’s season — and based on the way it was […]
