With half of my shows being on hiatus and the other half not having started yet for the summer; I wanted to come up with something different for this weeks review. Each week I try to include as many of my favorite shows as I possibly can, but not all make the list. This week I’m going to take a look back at some of the shows that were not always forefront, but never far from my mind. Grab a snack and have a seat while I give you the low down on what went down in retrospect.

*Fair Warning: if you are not caught up on some of these shows, then there are serious spoilers ahead*

Carry On My Wayward Son- Supernatural concluded its 11th season recently, and I’m thrilled to say that the super hot Winchester brothers will be back for a season 12 in the fall. The moment the opening credits started for the season finale, and Wayward Son started playing I was balling my eyes out. I just knew this was for sure going to be the end of Dean, because that is his theme song. The last few episodes leading up to the finale were on an epic scale, even for a show that deals in angels, demons and apocalypses all before breakfast. The boys dealt with their biggest threat to date, Amara was the darkness; the sister of God and the end of everything. With God M.I.A. the boys have been on their own cleaning up the mess they made by releasing the darkness in the first place. By removing the mark of Cain from Dean, they released total darkness upon the world. One of the biggest shockers came when it was revealed God was not in fact dead but had been hiding out as the prophet/author Chuck Shurley (Rob Benedict). Rob returns to the role of Chuck/God with a brilliant portrayal of the derelict father figure Dean and Lucifer have always thought him to be. After taking a moment to process the fact that Chuck really is God; the boys decide to convince him, Lucifer, Crowley, Rowena, the angels and devils all to play nice together and try to take on Amara. This plan back fires big time and ends up with Amara dealing a life threatening blow to her brother Chuck. With plan A seriously blown they are left to piece together a half baked backup plan. They are going to have Rowena build a light bomb out of souls and Dean is going to have to be the carrier of the bomb to destroy Amara. This was yet another teary eyed farewell to Dean; I mean we have to have at least 1 every finale. My daughter and I were in tears thinking Dean was going to die saving the world, yet again. Strangely enough he manages to get Amara and Chuck to reconcile and the earth is saved, but all his friends think that he had died saving the world. Amara tells Dean “you gave me what I needed most, now I’m going to return the favor.” I was confuzzled by this until we see Dean chasing down an all too familiar voice. He stops dead in his tracks like he has seen a ghost and that is understandable; standing in front of him is his resurrected mother Mary Winchester. So that is cliff hanger #1 for next season, but there is one more interesting little bit to keep you hanging on. The Men of Letters are not as extinct as we were led to believe and they have come for Sam and Dean Winchester. They send an agent to capture the brothers, but with Dean presumed dead, it’s only Sammy they get. Should be interesting to see what happens next season as the M.O.L. seems thoroughly peeved that the boys keep breaking the universe.

Cowgirl Up- Wynonna Earp on the Syfy Channel has continued to impress audiences everywhere and I am still at a total loss as to why they have not renewed it for a 2nd season. I wrote an article giving my top 3 reasons as to why I believe it is a solid show and worth the green light. If you haven’t watched the show, you really should; I mean if you want to have any fun at all. It’s a very funny, sexually charged, well written show. The story so far: Wynonna has returned to her childhood home of Purgatory after receiving a mysterious letter. She is a descendant of the great Wild West law man Wyatt Earp, and later learns that her family is cursed. There are demons called revenants that pop up in Purgatory and can only be sent back to hell by the rightful heir using Wyatt’s old gun Peacemaker. With Wynonna’s older sister Willa presumably killed the same night her father died; that leaves Peacemaker to Wynonna along with the responsibility of putting the revenants back in hell. Wynonna also has a younger sister named Waverly that is a little pissed that after all these years Wynonna is back, and that she is the rightful heir. Waverly is a little firecracker and killer smart to boot. The sisters soon meet the mysterious Special Agent Xavier Dolls. He works for the special Black Badge division of the government and their specialty is the unexplained. The Earp girls also have a guardian angel of sorts; if guardian angels were sexy, gruff, sharp shooting S.O.B.’s. Doc Holliday is the single fastest gun slinger to ever have walked the face of the earth, and he just can’t decide if he wants to destroy or assist Wynonna. Wynonna along with Agent Dolls, Doc and Waverly set out to clean up Purgatory. Halfway through the season and Wynonna has managed to do what she set out to do, and that is punish the 7 revenants that took her sister and daddy all those years ago. Now she has her sights set on Bobo Del Ray, and things have just gotten a whole lot more complicated. I can’t wait to see how this season finishes out, and I’m going to be terribly disappointed if we don’t see a season 2.

Never Too Late- There is always those shows that may have slipped through the cracks, however it is never too late to get on board and get caught up. With DVR’s, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and numerous other ways to watch it has never been easier. On AMC tonight is the 2nd episode of the soon to be smash hit new show Preacher staring Dominic Cooper as the super sexy but damaged Preacher named Jessie Custer. Only having aired its pilot episode now is a great time to get into this twisted tale brought to you by Vertigo Comics and the talented Seth Rogan. ABC’s Once Upon A Time recently wrapped up their 5th season. Just when you think fairy tales are dead and buried they come up with something wonderful to remind you that it’s never too late to wish upon a star. I have a soft spot for those bad boys with a heart of gold like Hook, and a famous love story like Snow and Charming. Give into your little kid and embrace the wonder that is Once Upon A Time. If you prefer to Netflix and chill there is always that option as well. If you haven’t seen Marvel’s Jessica Jones; it is top notch entertainment. Also out from Marvel is season 2 of Daredevil which is such a home-run. It would be best to watch these now and get caught up because coming in September Luke Cage gets his own show; followed by Iron Fist and then hopefully a huge ensemble show with all these heroes called The Defenders.

Amelly Award- This week is no contest which stud muffin is going to take home the prestigious Amelly Award. Jensen Ackles for his portrayal of Dean Winchester is my choice this week. He was willing to take one for the team to save the world but used his heart instead of brawn to stop Amara. At the end of the day Dean always does what he thinks is right, even if it’s the tough choices along the way. He is loyal to his friends and family; plus he is bad ass and such a hottie too! That is why I’m a #DeanGirl all the way. CONGRATS to Jensen Ackles *Mwah*
