Supernatural comes to a close with a moving finale that feels familiar while still managing to be unexpected and suspenseful. Jensen Ackles, who plays Dean Winchester, and Jared Padalecki, who plays Sam Winchester, take a very good story and make a great series finale. Just as it was in the beginning of Supernatural, “Carry On” is a story of two brothers and what’s meaningful to them—saving people, hunting things, and family.

This time last year, we were traveling to Toronto for a Supernatural convention, where we watched the Season 15 premiere with other members of the #SPNfamily. No one anticipated a real life pandemic would interrupt the final season of this beloved series. The coronavirus may not be demonic in nature like the Croatoan virus, but it has caused a lot of horror and havoc. A delay in production wasn’t ideal, but it’s given viewers something to look forward to this fall.

Winter has come to King’s Landing, as snow falls on crumbled buildings and charred bodies. After eight seasons of political maneuvering, Game of Thrones ends the series with a finale that tidies up the remains of Westeros. Post-war life is a series of concessions and conciliatory efforts, though “The Iron Throne” skips some of the messier bits to create a sense of closure. As Tyrion Lannister tells Jon Snow, “No one is very happy, which means it’s a good compromise I suppose.” In “The Iron Throne,” Game of Thrones resounds with compromise, creating a slightly better political system and saving beloved characters, but leaving us feeling as worn and dejected as Jon Snow.

Daenerys’ advisors seek to moderate her destructive impulses as they prepare for a war that could kill tens of thousands of innocent people in King’s Landing. After killing Rhaegal and Missandei, it seems that Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) has finally awakened the dragon. Continue reading
In “The Last of the Starks,” Game of Thrones allows a quiet moment to mourn the dead, and the rowdy grasping of life’s joys that follows. Once the threat to mankind fades into the background, splinters are revealed.

The sadness and anger the Dragon Queen experiences from her losses during “The Long Night” is compounded by a new attack, leaving some questioning her suitability to rule Westeros. Continue reading
