Supernatural

The Song Remains The Same

The Song Remains The Same - The Winchesters go back to 1978 to hang out with the 'rents -- oh, and save them from being killed by an angel who wants Sammy the Satan-Vessel wiped from existence.

The Hardy Boys Are, Like, Stuck In This SUCKFEST

Swap Meat - Yet another Manwitch defiles the season with his presence in order to surreptitiously swap bodies with Darling Sammy. It's even worse than it sounds.

The Hardy Boys Suffer From "Exhaustion" and "Dehydration"

Sam, Interrupted - When one of Sucky John's loser friends calls them from his current nuthouse with an urgent plea for help, The Ginormomope whines until Dashing El Deano agrees to travel to Booby Hatch, Oklahoma, to see about a whackjob-whacking Wraith. Dashing El Deano will nurse his subsequent grudge for decades.

Every Hardy Boy Plays the Fool

Abandon All Hope... - Our Intrepid Heroes track Lucifer to Carthage and shoot him in the face, but it's The Harvelle Girls who ended up blasted into an early grave. Happy holidays, everyone!

Let's Go LARPing With The Hardy Boys!

The Real Ghostbusters - On second thought, let's not and say we did. Becky The Wincesting Fangirl lures Our Intrepid Heroes to The First (And Only) Annual Supernatural Fan Convention, and Our Dear Boys quickly find themselves embroiled in an actual haunting, because the stupid fans picked the stupid site of an actual stupid massacre for their stupid fun and games. Supernatural fans suck.

Hail Hardy Boys, The Lord is With Thee!

Changing Channels - The Trickster makes his triumphant return to the small screen to hurl Our Intrepid Heroes into the even smaller small screen within the small screen we're all watching, and it's all very sitcom wrapped in a soap opera inside a Valtrex ad, but it's also a hell of a lot of fun. One thing, though: The Trickster's actually The Archangel Gabriel, and sweet Jesus, does he have an axe to grind.

The Hardy Boys Make It A Manwitch Night

The Curious Case Of Dean Winchester - Raoul takes a powder to watch something far more interesting in his den as Our Intrepid Idiots ignore The Apocalypse in favor of doing something stupid, which leads to them doing something else stupid, which leads to them doing something even more stupid, which leads to this overwhelmingly stupid and gore-free episode. Never again!

The Hardy Boys Meet The Antichrist

I Believe The Children Are Our Future - And then they bore him to death, with the talking and such. Psych! They don't kill The Antichrist at all, despite the fact that The Antichrist is an eminently killable eleven-year-old urchin, because they're idiots! Hooray for Supernatural!

The Hardy Boys Spend One Night In Paris

Fallen Idols - Oh, I'm kidding! Like they can afford the airfare. In a somewhat diverting throwback to the old-fashioned Monster Of The Week episodes from seasons past, Our Intrepid Heroes decide to bail on that whole Apocalypse thing for a couple of days to investigate a series of strange goings-on in Canton, Ohio. The good part? Lots of old-school gore. The better part? Paris Hilton didn't suck nearly as much as everyone thought she would. The best part? Darling Sammy in scrubs. Yum.

The Hardy Boys in the Garden of Good and Evil

The End - Dean pulls a Heroes and leaps five years into the future, playing the Two Stooges with future Dean and going up against Lucifer himself, who's dressed in the stylish vessel once known as Sam Winchester.

The Hardy Boys Get Snuggly, Hugly, Mean and Ugly

Free To Be You And Me - While Darling Sammy mopes around some dreary Oklahoman hellhole, Dashing El Deano and My Sweet Baboo roadtrip to Maine to ensnare the archangel responsible for Castiel's earlier smiting. And in the end, Lucifer invades Darling Sammy's sleepytime to make sweet, sweet love to The Ginormotron Antichrist. Needless to say, the end is the best part of the episode. Woof.

The Hardy Boys Gotta Have a Friend in Jesus

Good God, Y'All - 'Cause God knows after tonight's last scene, they sure as hell don't have one in each other. Having successfully battled The Second Horseman of The Apocalypse, Our Intrepid Heroes retire to a ridiculously scenic roadside rest area, where they break up with each other. Meanwhile, Bobby is positively, permanently paralyzed, and Castiel solemnly informs Dashing El Deano that his signature accessory is actually A Lo-Jack Of The Lord. Also: Lieutenant Hottie. Arnaghanaghanaghanagh.

The Hardy Boys Are Still Not Having Sex With Each Other!

Sympathy For The Devil - No, seriously. No, SERIOUSLY. NOT HAVING SEX, OKAY? God, what is wrong with you people? Do you not care about The Apocalypse? No! Of course you don't! Bobby's paralyzed, for Christ's bleeding sake, and all YOU PEOPLE can talk about is SAM CARESSING DEAN'S CLAVICLE! Even P. Diddy cares more about Lucifer rising than you do! I give up.

The Hardy Boys Raise a Little Hell

Lucifer Rising - Or, you know, a great big one. Your choice. Oh, Sam!

Crying Won't Help The Hardy Boys

When the Levee Breaks - And praying won't do them no good. Kicking the living crap out of each other, however, seems to help immensely. Good to know.

The Hardy Boys Just Have Their Party On TV

The Rapture - Pity that party's so dull. Castiel's bible-thumping Vessel gets his very own flashback episode, and while some found it touching, I don't think I've ever been so bored in my entire life. Next!

The Hardy Boys Nuke the Fridge

Jump The Shark - Well, I couldn't use "jump the shark," now could I? Our Intrepid Heroes receive a desperate call from their actual, honest-to-God half-brother, and it ends as well as we've come to expect on this show. I don't think I have the strength to make it through the last three episodes of the season.

The Hardy Boys Are NOT Having SEX With Each Other! GOD!

The Monster At The End Of This Book - Our Intrepid Heroes learn of LARPing and Wincest, all while A Prophet Of The Lord's predicting their bloody defeat at Lilith's hand. It's a wonder they made it through the episode without killing themselves.

The Hardy Boys Are Well-Respected Men

It's A Terrible Life - But only because yet another interfering angel's douched them up with corporate jobs and fake backstories for the evening. Dean Smith and Sam Wesson, model employees at Sandover Bridge & Iron in the great state of Ohio, find their routines disrupted when several colleagues off themselves in manners both deeply gruesome and deeply awesome. Together, they manage to solve the case, but will Smith & Wesson ever discover the source of their mysteriously shared anomie? Duuuuuuh.

The Hardy Boys Go Where Angels Fear to Tread

On The Head Of A Pin - Yeah, that title sucks, but it's the best I could do after this episode's hideously depressing final scene. Dean learns he inadvertently broke the first of Lilith's seals, thereby setting in motion the current crisis, and I'm sure he'd kill himself were it not for the fact he's all but immobilized in a hospital bed thanks to Alastair, who brutalized Our Intrepid Author Of The Apocalypse after a torture session gone horribly wrong. Sing it if you know it, kids: Oh, Dean!

The Hardy Boys Full-On Swayze That Mother. Again.

Death Takes a Holiday - A Wyominginian Reaper goes missing, so everyone has to suffer in this week's installment, including, but not limited to, Our Intrepid Astral Idiots, that little kid from Weeds, the little kid from Weeds's boozy sot of a mother, Tessa The Reaper from Season Two, Show Barnes, and -- most especially -- the audience, the latter because Fake Brando's back, and he's even more annoying than ever.

Sex and The Single Hardy Boys

Sex And Violence - This week, Our Intrepid Heroes take on a shape-shifting Siren who, for some strange reason, decides to retaliate by seducing them while in the guise of a male FBI agent. Does she know something we don't?

The Hardy Boys Might As Well Kill Themselves

After School Special - Our Intrepid Heroes head back to dear old Truman High School -- home of the Bombers, don't you know -- to investigate a mysterious rash of grisly student-on-student murders, but it's really just an excuse for Sam to drag Dean into a reexamination of their shared miserable past and how that wretched existence still affects them both to this day, and it's all just too depressing for words.

The Hardy Boys Pull a Rabbit Out of Their Hat

Criss Angel Is A Douchebag - Yes, "their hat." They have only one, don't you know. This week, the boys head to Sioux City, Iowa, where magical douchebags have been dropping dead left and right. I wish I could say Our Intrepid Heroes proceeded to save the day, but that would make me a LYING LIAR WHO LIES.

The Hardy Boys Meet Bristol Palin

Family Remains - Levi, too, as it turns out, but happily enough, the seemingly neverending quagmire of feral grunts and "collateral damage" and generalized ineptitude ends with a pair of cellar-dwelling inbred hillbilly mutant bitch freaks getting the permanent heave-ho. Hooray for the new administration!

The Hardy Boys' Sympathy For The Devil, Part II

Heaven And Hell - Dean confuses porn with reality. Eric Kripke confuses porn with his show. He also confuses Charmed with his show. Mark Rolston confuses Supernatural with The Godfather. The fans are confused as to why they were left with this to tide them over until the new year. Cut it with a butter knife, 'til all that's left is Dean's naked back and his naked emotion.

The Hardy Boys' Sympathy For The Devil, Part I

I Know What You Did Last Summer - Summer lovin' -- Sam had a blast. Summer lovin' happened so fast. She saved his life; he nearly died! Bedded Ruby, once she got a new hide. Autumn days full of angel sound waves, but oh, Sam's summer nights. Uh well-a well-a well-a huh. Tell me more. Tell me more...

Two Hardy Boys In A Fountain

Wishful Thinking - When you wish upon Tiamat. Makes no difference if where you're at. Everything your heart desires will just go splaaaaat.

The Hardy Boys Go From Wags To Witches

It's The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester - You're a witch girl, and you've gone too far 'cause you know you don't say it "Sam-Hain." Summon your demon but it won't get you too far, get you too far.

The Hardy Boys Dick Around

Yellow Fever - Dean gets ghost cooties because he's a dick. Sam and Bobby torture a ghost, which is just kind of sick. Jensen Ackles is the next American Idol, because he's so slick.

The Hardy Boys Do The Monster Mash

Monster Movie - I was recapping for TWoP late one night, when the Winchesters turned all black and white. I rebooted my TiVo and rubbed my eyes. A monster movie plot was my surprise. Read how they mashed…

The Hardy Boys Face The Strange Ch-Ch-Changes

Metamorphosis - Remember that show -- two brothers on the road, hunting down monsters and beasties from folklore? This looks surprising like it.

A Hardy Boy Goes Back To The Future

In The Beginning - In the beginning the VW Van was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the roads of Lawrence, and the spirit of Dean moved upon John's opinion. And Dean said, "Let it be Metallicar," and it was Metallicar. And Dean saw Metallicar, and that it was good. And he called his mother Mary, and he called his father John, and he called his grandfather Samuel, and he called his grandmother Deanna. And the evening and the morning were the first day, and it was good -- until that Yellow Eyed Demon showed up and ruined everything. Again.

The Hardy Boys Get Déjà Vu All Over Again

Are You There, God? It's Me, Dean Winchester - When the past literally comes back to haunt Dean, Sam and Bobby, and the substitute recapper gets a surprise guest, nothing seems quite as safe as an iron-clad room and a poster of Bo Derek, or a pink canopied bed and a poster of the Jonas Brothers.

The Hardy Boys: Now On A Mission From God!

Lazarus Rising - Okay, so Dean's on a mission from God, and Darling Sammy's The Anti-Christ. Nevertheless, both of the boys blaspheme in here. Repeatedly. Needless to say, Miss Aretha is not pleased.

No Rest For The Wicked

To Hell With The Hardy Boys - Hellhounds drag Dashing El Deano away until next season's premiere, and everyone is very sad indeed. Well, you know. Everyone save those of us still shrieking about those meat hooks at the end of the episode. "Eeeeeeeeeeeee!"

The Hardy Boys Do The Ultra-Violent

Time Is On My Side - Well, they tend to do the ultra-violent every episode, but this is the first to feature an explicit Clockwork Orange reference, so there you go. A freak of nature imperils The Super-Special Puppy-Dog Eyes, and hellhounds tear Posh Bela to bits. "GOOOOOOOOOOORE!"

The Hardy Boys Should Start Screening Their Calls

Long Distance Call -

Especially now that Daddy Shut Up (or, you know, a reasonable facsimile thereof) has taken to nagging them from the afterlife via his heavenly Verizon Wireless LG enV. Shut up, Sucky John.

It's The Hardy Boys' Party

Ghostfacers - And they'll cry if they want to, especially because their show got hijacked for the entire hour by two homophobic shitheads from a third-rate first-season snorefest. Ewwwwwwwww!

The Hardy Boys Got This Plan

Jus In Bello - It's called "Save Ass," but the only asses it ends up working on are their very own. And while those are some very fine asses to save, indeed, the whole thing sort of falls short of the goal.

The Hardy Boys Freeze Their Butts Off Waiting To Worship A Rat

Mystery Spot - That's right, Woodchuck-Chuckers: It's Groundhog Day!

The Hardy Boys In The Sky With Diamonds

Dream A Little Dream Of Me - Our Intrepid Heroes, like, do some stuff, you know? Man, am I wasted.

The Hardy Boys Vanquish The Charmed Ones

Malleus Maleficarum - They had no right, and they had no power, so Our Intrepid Heroes turned their hate-sticks into geysering founts of blood and gore. With maggots. And teeth.

The Hardy Boys Have To Muddle Through Somehow

A Very Supernatural Christmas - No I'm not crying. Shut up.

Move Over, Buffy...

Fresh Blood - ...because Sam could teach you a thing or two about vampire slaying, as after a still-insane and obsessed Gordon is turned, Sam decapitates him with some razor wire and his bare hands. In case you're wondering? Yes, it RULES!

Aunt Gertrude Gropes The Hardy Boys

Red Sky At Morning - Lucky hag.

The Hardy Boys Wet The Bed

Bedtime Stories - Well, they are being awfully pissy with each other, don't you think? Fairy tales come to life until Darling Sammy Zelda Rubinsteins a comatose woman into The Great Beyond.

The Hardy Boys Get Molested

Sin City - Primarily by a boring script, but we shouldn't overlook the stellar effort put forth by that especially handsy priest. Not to mention all those tranny hookers.

The Hardy Boys Have A Furry Fetish

Bad Day At Black Rock - No, sickos. A rabbit's foot. It's a furry rabbit's-foot fetish that's been slaughtering unfortunates for the last hundred years. Too bad it left that British chick alone.

The Hardy Boys Schedule Vasectomies

The Kids Are Alright - Because kids suck.

The Hardy Boys Cure Insomnia

The Magnificent Seven - In which Our Intrepid Heroes travel to Lincoln, Nebraska, to bore The Seven Deadly Sins to death. Yawn.

The Hardy Boys, Triumphant!

All Hell Breaks Loose, Part II - We knew they were going to get the better of Our Yellow-Eyed Acquaintance sooner or later. So why did it all suck so much?

The Hardy Boys, Defeated!

All Hell Breaks Loose, Part I - Well, after all, Darling Sammy does end up a ginormous slab of corpse meat at the end of this one. Given that, what would you expect me to call it?

The Last Temptation Of The Hardy Boys

What Is And What Should Never Be - Dean falls prey to a frigging genie who grants him his deepest wish, and it ends as badly as you'd expect. Oh, Dean!

The Hardy Boys Try Not To Drop The Soap

Folsom Prison Blues - Sam and Dean hit the big house to investigate a series of suspicious heart attacks at the behest of one of their rotten father's old Marine buddies, and never has prison orange looked so good.

The Hardy Boys Do Hollywood

Hollywood Babylon - If you know what I mean, and I think you do.

The Hardy Boys Cough Up A Hairball

Heart - Darling Sammy meets a saucy and insouciant lass and plugs her. In more ways than one. Darling Sam is never, ever going to get laid again, is he?

The Hardy Boys Realize Hope Floats

Roadkill - Among other things. A shapely guest ghost thinks she's still alive. Our Intrepid Heroes disabuse her of that notion. Slowly.

The Hardy Boys Work Each Other's Last Damn Nerve

Tall Tales - Of course, they receive a little assistance in their endeavors from a deathless Trickster, but it's not like they weren't halfway there to begin with.

The Hardy Boys Learn Possession Is Nine-Tenths Of The Law

Born Under A Bad Sign - While road-tripping through the Midwest, Our Intrepid Heroes run into an old friend. Unfortunately, said old friend immediately gets all up in Darling Sammy and starts making him do some very naughty things. Uh-oh.

The Hardy Boys Get Touched By An Angel

Houses Of The Holy - And for the second week in a row, it's not in the good way. Darling Sammy has a crisis of faith, and Dean pretends to care. Along with everybody else on the planet.

The Hardy Boys Are So Screwed

Nightshifter - And not in the good way, either.

The Hardy Boys Check In To The Overlook Hotel

Playthings - Or a reasonable facsimile thereof in Connecticut, where they find the eternally preadolescent spirit of the current owner's aunt leading the relatively blameless into some spectacularly gruesome deaths. Our Intrepid Heroes, buzzkills that they so often are, quickly put an end to all that.

The Hardy Boys Need Their Space

Hunted - Well, one of them does, at any rate. After Dean spills The Big Secret That So Totally Is Not, Sam surreptitiously takes off in a furious little snit to perform a bit of investigating on his own. Too bad Gordon Walker's drawn a big, fat bull's eye on Darling Sammy's remarkably broad back.

The Hardy Boys Go Viral

Croatoan - Lousy idea for a joke, yes, but this episode deserves whatever awful wordplay it gets. A mysterious demonic contagion overruns a wide spot in the road, and it's left to Our Intrepid Heroes to figure out what's going on. In between deadening bouts of The Angst, of course.

The Hardy Boys Don't Want No Mean Mistreaters

Crossroad Blues - Our Intrepid Heroes hit some random burg somewhere to investigate the suspicious dog-related deaths of a bunch of sniveling yuppies. They shouldn't have wasted their time.

The Hardy Boys Spew Blasphemous Profanities

The Usual Suspects - Our Intrepid Heroes hook up with Linda Blair to rid Our Beloved Series of infamous show-killer Jason Gedrick. Let's hope he stays dead.

Simon Said - Our Intrepid Heroes travel to Guthrie, Oklahoma, where an apparently affable psychokinetic has been pushing the elderly in front of speeding buses via the power of his mind -- or has he?

The Hardy Boys Have A Suisse Mocha Moment

Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things - Our Intrepid Heroes rid their birthplace of a zombie, then retire to the Impala for pedicures and facials. In other news, Sam discovers porn. Pity he just lost use of his right hand.

The Hardy Boys Stifle Their Gag Reflexes

Bloodlust - No, not like that! In a morgue, while examining a disgustingly mottled corpse! No, not like that either! God, you people are sick. In other news, cow-sucking vampires just vant to be left alone.

The Hardy Boys And The Case Of The Idiot Children

Everybody Loves A Clown - A bunch of miniature morons allow a deranged serial killer into their homes in the middle of the night. Everyone suffers. Also: Sam and Dean have Issues.

The Hardy Boys Get Frisky Over A Pottery Wheel

In My Time Of Dying - So it's actually a non-Ouija Ouija board. Sue me. Dean nearly voyages into the great beyond, but Shut Up Daddy sacrifices his own life for that of his son. Sniff.

The Hardy Boys Get the Night Sweats

Nightmare - Sam has premonitions about an abused son killing his father and uncle with telekinetic powers. While trying to keep the kid -- whose biological mother was also flambéed a la Mary Winchester -- from killing his stepmother, Sam finds out that he can move things with his mind.

The Hardy Boys Get Some

Route 666 - Dean's ex-girlfriend calls the boys for help when her father is killed by a racist, anthropomorphized truck. Yes, really.

The Hardy Boys Get Religion

No, seriously -- follow them, 'cause it's not as bad as it sounds. Hey, where are you going? You're gonna miss Jensen Ackles's ass! Oh, whatever.
