From MadCap's Couch - "Supernatural: Born Under a Bad Sign"

Oh, my god! Sam, I can see Jesus in your shirt!

Here we are, the final Supernatural review of 2021! In fact, depending on how things play out, it could be the last post of 2021! It's been a heck of a journey this year, hasn't it? Reapers, evil clowns that eat people, vampires, necromancy, psychic hullabaloo, ghosts, more ghosts, demons, a demonic virus, more psychic hullabaloo, more ghosts, a shapeshifter, and yet another ghost!

. . .seriously, there are a lot of ghost stories in the early seasons, but everyone gets some hung up on the angels vs. demons crap later on.

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Seattle By Night: "Lost Children, Part 3"


"She's taking too long." Anthony intoned, still looking at Molek's Light. The minutes were ticking by, something wasn't quite right. The Tremere could feel it in the pit of his stomach.

"You weren't a Sunday School kid, were you?" Sybil asked.

"I wasn't, no," Anthony said, "I was raised Jewish."

"And I guess that became less of an issue for you after your got the nip, right?"

From MadCap's Couch - "Supernatural: Nightshifter"

"Sam, why are we making this computer play tic-tac-toe?"

Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it!

. . .what's that? Oh, Nightshifter! Well, why didn't you just say so?!

From MadCap's Couch - "Supernatural: Playthings"


Recap of the last episode, Ava be gone and it's very sad.

Not as sad as what happens to her later, but just wait...

MadCap's Fiction Corner - "The Champions of Zobek, Chapter 6"


The next few hours were spent in traveling through the caves and away from the shuttle. With its power off, it likely wasn't going to come up on scans for active vessels and hopefully their attackers wouldn't be looking for it, or at the very least leave it be if they did.

"We still have the transponder." Briemi said. "We'll just find a good place to get a signal sent up."

"And make sure nobody who shouldn't get it gets it." Calen said.

What If. . .the Doctor remained Time Lord Victorious? (Part 6)


Last time, the Doctors and the Master were pulled away from a Gallifrey in distress by none other than the White Guardian, who tasked them not with seeking out the Key to Time, but instead to seek out an even more powerful artifact - the Key to Reality - to stop the Chronarch and his insane plan to consume and control all of Time itself in every universe. Will they succeed? Let's find out.

Oh, for everyone keeping score, we currently have...
For those not aligned with the main group, we have:
  • The Chronarch, a version of the Doctor who appears to have become the Time Lord Victorious. (resembling the Tenth Doctor)
  • The Chaos Doctor, a version of the Doctor from a universe where Rassilon was largely benign as we saw back in Part 4. (resembling the Seventh Doctor)

Got all that? Good.

What If. . .the Doctor remained Time Lord Victorious? (Part 5)


Last time, several of the Doctors had been cornered on a Gallifrey in a universe where not only was the Doctor an evil chessmaster psychopath, not only were the Daleks facing off against a far more benevolent Rassilon, but the Chronarch had arrived to bring an end to the War once and for all. . .by destroying the Time Lords. Gallifrey was being swarmed and all was definitely not well. More to the point, there seemed to be some trouble onboard the Chronarch's ship as Jack is captured, the Wolf is killed, and Dalek Caan has ended up in the custody of the Chronarch.

Bad news bears, right? Let's see what happens next!
