Remember that infamous Nationwide commercial from the Superbowl? You know which one I'm talking about; the one where the poor kid can't play or get cooties because he died in a car accident. Not only was that ad completely horrifying, but also served no real purpose in the grand scheme of things. Sorry, Nationwide, but you aren't going to prevent a fatal and horrible car accident just because someone bought your insurance. Tonight's episode of SUPERNATURAL, entitled 'Halt & Catch Fire,' was a better PSA, warning us that if you cause an accident you better beware of those angry spirits.

If there is one thing THE VAMPIRE DIARIES exceeds in, it's eliciting emotions. Whether it's making your heart break into pieces as you watch a character cry over the death of their parent or making you feel like rushing over to your TV and shaking it until your favorite character pairing kisses, the vampire show has that special knack. This week's episode, entitled 'The Day I Tried to Live,' took all our emotions and merged them into a psychotic witch recently back from his successful attempt at murdering his brother and becoming head of a crazy witch coven.

If you could transform back into your teen self for a day, what would you do? Cause some mischief? Attend that One Direction concert you had been too embarrassed to go to before? Run to the nearest FAO Schwartz and play on their giant-sized foot piano? The possibilities are endless. Tuesday's episode of SUPERNATURAL, entitled 'About a Boy,' not only re-introduced us to teen Dean, but instilled a fear of childhood fairytales inside all of us.

What have you guys merged with lately? Your twin? Your brother who is technically 18 years older than you but because of witchy circumstances is actually the same age as you physically? Me personally, I merged with a box of ranch flavored Wheat Thins. It was a stressful job, but not as stressful as the Parker family's life on tonight's episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, entitled 'Prayer for the Dying,' which included a real death, a vampire death, and an almost death.

There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. This week's episode of SUPERNATURAL had returned Charlie from her path down the yellow brick road, hell-bent on torture. A striking difference from the lovable, hacker Charlie the audience had grown to love.

Did everyone have a good holiday? I hope it was spent singing carols with your family and drinking spiked eggnog. Or maybe you all went to see INTO THE WOODS and got extremely mad when your aunt Marge started singing along with the opening credits. Either way, if you spent it enjoying yourself and not getting kidnapped by an angry, powerful witch then you were one step ahead of Elena Gilbert. THE VAMPIRE DIARIES returned this week and as the title suggests, Elena literally 'Woke Up With a Monster.'

When we last left the Winchesters, Dean had finally cracked under the pressure and curse of the Mark of Cain. Unable to teeter the edge any longer, the elder Winchester had slaughtered an entire house of humans, albeit terrible ones. He had been suffering from Mark induced nightmares that had finally come into fruition in the last moment, in order to feed his thirst for murder and chaos, and in his eyes, save himself. Sam looked on in horror as he looked into his brothers cold, unforgiving eyes.

Let's address one thing, if you are a resident of Mystic Falls ambiguously aged between 18-27, you should be getting on your knees and thanking the heavens that your parents are alive. It's much more shocking to have living relatives in a town of 5 people. Unfortunately for our favorite gang of vampires, witches, and supernatural beings galore, any death or terminal illness of a parent or relative is a heartbreaking shock that can only be remedied with bourbon and decorating Christmas tress.

One time I dreamed that a polar bear named Charles broke into my room, demanded I follow him, and took me on a night of crazy adventures that ended in butterfly tattoos, a pool of chocolate pudding, and a binge watch of every episode of ALF. When I awoke it took me a few minutes to adjust; I couldn't decipher dream from reality, even finding chocolate pudding in my unmentionables. Anyway, what I'm saying is, don't take your dreams lightly. You never know when you may be forced to watch ALF or murder an entire room of loan sharks.

Jobs are very important. You need to make sure you're trained correctly while doing your job to the best of your ability, and taking every precaution that an evil, magic-sucking witch doesn't come wandering into your place of employment demanding Zima. It's even worse when said witch is your brother and probably wants to murder you a ton. Tonight's episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, entitled 'I Alone,' included a death, a family reunion, and a case of really bad ID checking.

This week in Mystic Falls...oh, wait. We weren't in Mystic Falls, we weren't in New Orleans, and we weren't even in Bon Temps. Nope, this week's episode of SUPERNATURAL, 'Hibbing 911,' took us to Hibbing, Minnesota where the vampires weren't angst-ridden, sexually frustrated teens, but hippies who just couldn't leave Woodstock behind.

Quick question: Is your mom an ancient, evil witch? Great, we can continue now! Tonight's episode of SUPERNATURAL, entitled 'Girls, Girls, Girls,' hit us with the bombshell of motherly revelations. Not all people can have mothers who make them nachos and do their laundry.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We may be a week away until the festive American holiday, but this week's episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, entitled 'Fade Into You,' was all about Thanksgiving, or should I say Friendsgiving since none of the characters on the show that still have alive and breathing human family members could celebrate with them because of that pesky border situation. Or their family just didn't feel like taking the drive to Whitmore.

There is no better board game out there than Clue. In fact, I spent most of my childhood pestering people to play it with me. Whether it was Mrs. Peacock, in the study, with the rope, or Colonel Mustard, in the library, with the candlestick, the game never got old. This week, it was Dean Winchester, in the kitchen, with the revolver. You heard me; this week's SUPERNATURAL, entitled 'Ask Jeeves,' traveled to the world of the WASP's to solve an old-fashion, monstrous murder-mystery.

On my very first birthday a family friend handed me a gift. I didn't know what it was because I was only one year old and anything that was handed to me was instantly food. Unfortunately, it wasn't food. Fortunately, once unwrapped, the gift yielded my most prized possession: my magical bear. His name is Sammy and he's gone everywhere with me: across seas, college, my first apartment, etc. One time he got lost in a Sizzler (it was probably 1994 too). That was a terrible day. The magic bestowed upon Sammy is irreplaceable. When he's gone so is my ability to turn water into rum, to make 400 candles light up at once, and my most magical ability of all, sleeping through the night.

This week's 200th episode of SUPERNATURAL may go down in fandom history as one of the greatest episodes ever aired throughout its ten-season run. 'Fan Fiction' sought to bring some of the shows greatest aspects to the forefront, falling in line with similar episodes like 'Changing Channels' and 'The French Mistake.' These episodes showed us just how painfully aware of themselves the shows creators, writers, actors, etc. are and Tuesday's episode was no exception.

Listen, I won't even begin to understand the first thing about magic. Ever since a witch put a spell on me to obsess over vampire shows and write sarcastic reviews, I've made sure to just nod my head and smile. We are talking about some dark, twisted magic here. And that's exactly what I've learned when watching THE VAMPIRE DIARIES; nod my head, smile, and enjoy the ride. Also, there's a dark, shadowy figure standing behind me playing Nickelback on a loop. I've said too much.

Hey guys, let's talk about college Homecoming. In case you didn't know, American college Homecoming mostly consists of underage co-eds drinking a ton of booze while bowing down to a mascot in the form of a lion, tiger, liger, or velociraptor. My Homecoming was spent drinking boxed wine by a dumpster.

After I endure a stressful event in my life, like becoming a demon that likes to murder a ton, I usually kick back, drink some margaritas, and watch CLUELESS on repeat. It's annoying when people try to push me to do stressful activities like hunt monsters or solve the supernatural crises of the world because, and I quote, 'As if.'

I'm constantly trying to reinvent myself in different ways. Whether it's my hair color, style, clothing, last name, first name...oops, I've said too much. Just know that one time I tried to reinvent myself as a witch named Gertrude and things didn't work out so well for a guy that now has purple hair, one eyebrow, and a lizard for a left hand. I quickly reinvented myself as a 20-something New Yorker that watches and writes about shows on some network called The CW.
