Fan Video of the Week: Supernatural Reflections “Beyond the Mat”
“He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave.” ― Andrew Carnegie
Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head?
Oh, Mr. Crowley, did you talk to the dead?
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
Yeah, you waited on Satan’s call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure?
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred
Manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
Mr. Crowley, won’t you ride my white horse?
Mr. Crowley, it’s symbolic, of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear that maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
l want to know what you meant
I want to know, I want to know what you meant, yeah
You probably guessed the focus of this week’s fan video. It is our own King of Hell, Crowley. Mark Sheppard first appears as Crowley in 5.10 Abandon All Hope… but he was mentioned few times prior to this episode. The character has been played by Lauren Tom (8.02) and Kirsten Robek (11.01) both of whom did a pretty marvelous job with it. Crowley is a demon and now the current King of Hell. He was formerly the King of the Crossroads and right-hand man of the first demon, Lilith. He has always been a frenemy for the boys and Castiel but with his own agenda. He is the enemy we love to hate and Sheppard has made the character his own. Beware the sass.
“Don’t worry about — what, like Lucifer didn’t worry? Or Michael? Or Lilith or Alastair or Azazel didn’t worry?! Am I the only game piece on the board who doesn’t underestimate those denim-wrapped nightmares?!” – Crowley, 6.20 The Man Who Would Be King

Supernatural – Crowley – Blood On My Name made by: MarinaVideos
Blood On My Name by The Wright Brothers
There’s a reckoning a-coming
and it burns beyond the grave
its lead inside my belly
cause my soul has lost its way
Oh, Lazarus
How did your debts get paid
Oh, Lazarus
Were you so afraid
When the fires, when the fires have surrounded you
with the hounds of hell coming after you
I’ve got blood, I’ve got blood on my name
when the fires, when the fires
are consuming you
and your sacred stars won’t be guiding you
I’ve got blood, I’ve got blood
blood on my name
Not a spell gonna be broken
with a potion or a priest
When you’re cursed you’re always hoping
that a prophet would be grieved
Oh, Lazarus
How did your debts get paid
Oh, Lazarus
Were you so afraid
Can’t you see I’m sorry
I will make it worth your while
Made a dead mans money
you can see it in my smile
Oh, Lazarus
How did your debts get paid
Oh, Lazarus
Were you so afraid
When the fires, when the fires have surrounded you
and the whole wide world coming after you
I’ve got blood, I’ve got blood on my name
when the fires, when the fires are consuming you
and your sacred stars wont be guiding you
I’ve got blood, I’ve got blood
blood on my name
mmm-mmm
it wont be long
til I’m dead and gone
it wont be long
til I’m dead and gone
watch the fires rise under my skin
down to the bone
scorching my soul
nowhere to run
nowhere to run
nowhere to run
When the fires, when the fires have surrounded you
with the hounds of hell coming after you
I’ve got blood, I’ve got blood on my name
when the fires, when the fires are consuming you
and your sacred stars won’t be guiding you
I’ve got blood, I’ve got blood on my name
When the fires, when the fires have surrounded you
and the whole wide world coming after you
I’ve got blood, I’ve got blood
blood on my name
The Wright Brothers Band, formerly known as the Wright Brothers Overland Stage Company, formed in 1972, is an Indiana based music group. They perform songs from the 1920s to the present day, and can cover bluegrass, pop standards, country, gospel, and even Aerosmith rock standards. The band briefly gained national attention with their patriotic song “Made in the U.S.A.” which celebrated companies that continued to manufacture their products in the United States. They performed on the Grand Ole Opry, The Today Show and appeared 12 times on Nashville Now. Signed with Warner Bros. and Mercury records in the eighties, the Wright Brothers had nine singles reach Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart. The band also recorded Shot Down in Hot Blood and a cover of “Jim Dandy” for the soundtrack of the 1987 Goldie Hawn movie Overboard, in which they also made a live appearance.
The band’s first three albums, “Cornfield Cowboys”, “Memorablia Box”, and “Third Phonograph Album” were collected into a box set called “Anthology” first on vinyl and then on CD. “Memorabilia Box” featured live medleys of Harry Nillson’s “The Rainmaker” with their own “Dawson”, Mickey Newbury’s “An American Trilogy” (Battle Hymn of the Republic/Dixie/All My Trials), and Neil Diamond’s “Solaimon/Brother Love”.

Crowley is BAD made by: Lachka
Quotes:
Dean: You remember Top Notch Wrestling?
Sam: Yeah. Those wrestling shows Dad took us to when we were kids.
Dean: Right. Came across an obituary last night. Larry “The Hangman” Lee died.
Sam: Oh no. Wasn’t he-
Dean: He was Dad’s favorite. Anytime that noose would come out, Dad would be on his feet. It was one of the few times I ever saw him actually happy.
Gunner: I’ve been beat up, spit on, stabbed, roughed up. But I will be damned if I didn’t always get back up. One thing I learned, you gotta keep on grinding no matter what’s thrown your way.
Crowley: The Rod of Aaron. Created by God on the sixth day and given to Aaron, brother of Moses. I knew it was powerful but had no idea it was a-
Simmons: Hand of God. Can I touch it?
Crowley: With all due respect, Simmons, I don’t think you can handle my rod.
Lucifer: I bet I can. Is it just me or is it getting a little phallic in here?
Minutiae:
While in Crowley’s Lock-up, various copies of The Supernatural Books can be seen scattered throughout the storage unit.
