Reviews That I Missed:  Supernatural 9.10 – “Road Trip”

Reviews That I Missed: Supernatural 9.10 – “Road Trip”

“I didn’t have a choice.”  You DID!  You just made the wrong one.  Lots of times.   I did like “Road Trip” more than “Holy Terror”.  This is an Andrew Dabb script and like his others, it was inconsistency galore.  Some things worked, some things didn’t.  The biggest strength,  Crowley was really freaking awesome.  Every…

The second half of season nine introduced two formidable weapons. Each one had its strengths, weaknesses, and consequences. Each were taken up by their respective characters as a means to an end—to fill in the “I did what I had to do” piece of the over all season puzzle. These weapons shaped not only the…
