Supernatural Review Catch Up: Dean Returns, “Wayward Sisters” Sort of Gets a Follow-up

I’m desperate to get back on track with these Supernatural reviews. You know that downward spiral of procrastination that happens when it’s been awhile since you worked on something and going back to it feels like a chore even though you want…

Supernatural 14×01 Review: “Stranger in a Strange Land” Finds a New Way to Tell the Same Story
