TV Review: Supernatural 12×06 “Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox”

If you don’t like sappy sentimentality, I’d suggest skipping over this particular review of Supernatural’s sixth episode of its 12th season, “Celebrating the Life of Asa Fox,” because I’m about to gush about how much I loved it. It’s not…

Going Home: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone 15 Years Later

Just as the Hogwarts Express is to leave for summer break, Hermione asks: “Feels strange to be going home, doesn’t it?” It’s the end of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, and Harry has come to a revelation. “I’m not going home,”…

TV Review: Supernatural 12×03 “The Foundry”

Three episodes into season 12, and Mary’s gone. Not gone, gone, but gone to find herself, presumably. She was dead for 33 years, so Mary feeling out of place and unsure of herself makes sense. She’s needs to rediscover the…
