EPISODE 11: SCARECROW
If it only had a brain. Well, maybe it has! A malevolent scarecrow could be why strangers in Burkitsville, Indiana don't get out of town alive.

Guest Stars:
Nicki Aycox as Meg
Jeffrey Dean Morgan as John Winchester
Tania Saulnier as Emily
Tom Butler as Harley Jorgeson
P. Lynn Johnson as Stacey Jorgeson

My Thoughts:
A good episode... but not quite as good as the previous couple. I think they made the scarecrow look cool. And this one also introduces the character of Meg. At this point the first time we meet her she is the cut blonde with short hair.

My Rating:

My Rating:

Guest Stars:
Travis Wester as Harry Spangler
A.J. Buckley as Ed Zeddmore
Shane Meier as Craig Thursten
Britt Irvin
Colby Johannson as James

My Thoughts:
A good episode... I enjoyed it. I liked how they did up the old shack in the woods... and like how they did the ghost that was haunting it. I had a bit of mixed feelings for the website ghost hunters. I didn't really care too much for them... but they were alright for a bit of comic relief. But the best comedy in the episode came from Sam and Dean playing practical jokes on each other.

My Rating:

Ridge Canipe as Young Dean
Venus Terzo as Joanna
Ari Cohen as Miles Tarnower

My Thoughts:
a good episode. I enjoyed the storyline... I liked how they did the creature. I even liked the flash-backs to when Sam and Dean were kids. And I normally don't care for flash-backs in shows at all. But these were done well.

My Rating:



EPISODE 19: PROVENANCE
A portrait of a long-dead family is amazingly lifelike. Maybe that's because one of the likenesses is alive...and lethal.

Guest Stars:
Taylor Cole as Sarah Blake
Jay Brazeau as Researcher
Jodelle Micah Ferland as The Ghost Girl
Keith Martin Gordey
Linden Banks

My Thoughts:
Another good ghost story. I like how they did the little girl ghost... taking a note from the recent Asian horror movies that I have seen.

My Thoughts:
Yay! Vampire episode! And you all know how much I love vampires! While I liked how they did the episode... I would have liked to seen more effects on the vampires when they feed and such. But either way... it is an excellent episode. I really liked that they had Sam and Dean's father join in on the hunt for this one. This is also the one that first mentions the infamous colt.

My Rating:

Over-all Thoughts on this Disc:
Once again every episode on this disc is very good. Though not quite as good as the previous disc. I could only give 1 rating of  this time. Unfortunately this disc don't have any extras what so ever... not even a single deleted scenes. If I am remembering correctly the boy's father is in it with them from this point on (2 more episodes)... which is cool... I always like when he shows up on an episode.

Disc 5 Extras:
NONE

David Lovgren

My Thoughts:
I really loved every minute of this episode. I really like how the whole family (father included) works together. This episode not only has a good story on it's own... but it sets up the next episode... the season finale.... wonderfully. Actually it is more like a two part season finale as the next episode starts off right where this one leaves off.

My Rating:



EPISODE 22: DEVIL'S TRAP
Feels like we're running out of time. With a terrifying exorcism, warfare with a pack of demons and a shocking double-twist storyline, the intense, astonishing season finale never lets up.

Guest Stars:
Nicki Aycox as Meg Masters
Jeffrey Dean Morgan as John Winchester
Jim Beaver as Bobby Singer

An excellent conclusion for the first season... with a great end of season cliffhanger to drive the viewers crazy until the next season started.

Fredric Lane as Janitor
Marcel Maillard as Truck Driver

My Thoughts:
Really started off the season with an excellent episode. It starts off in the exact moment that the first season left off. I really liked what they did with this episode... in the hospital. I also liked how they portrayed the Reaper as you see in the above picture. Even though I know why... I don't care too much for what they did at the very end of the episode. But it doesn't take away from the excellence of the episode.

My Rating:

My Rating:

Wow! I forgot about this thread for the last 3 years! Well now that I am working on getting all the seasons upgraded to Blu-ray, it is a good time to bring it back to life. I am starting over with season 1... and I don't have season 2 on blu-ray yet (I will soon!... Danae Cassandra keeping her eyes open for me!)... but once I get to the point where I left off (Season 2 Ep. 5)... I will revive this thread and review all the way up to at lease season 8! (what I have in my collection now).

My Thoughts:
This is another great episode of the series. I enjoyed every second of it. It really kept my attention from beginning to end. Who hasn't dreamed of the ability to control others with their mind? This episode shows that such an ability can be bad or it can be good depending on the person that has it.

Plus the added bonus in learning a little more about Jo and her mother. This one does a good job at giving us a good episode story as well as advances the season long arc very nicely.

My Thoughts:
One of my favorite episodes here... and how couldn't it be with a guest star like Linda Blair? This one has a very good story... keeps your interest from beginning to end. And did I mention guest star Linda Blair? Seriously though... I loved every second of it. And it even got a good laugh out of me with the nod to The Exorcist that it gave... end of the episode and Dean told Sam he was hungry and that he wanted a bowl of Pea Soup.
