Do angels exist? Christian, Hebrew and Muslim religious texts abound with references to the heavenly host. Within Supernatural, the concept of angels was first explored in 2.13 “Houses of the Holy.” This is when we learned that a young, narrow-minded Dean was absolutely certain angels didn’t exist. Sam, on the other hand, wasn’t so sure….
Happy New Year, dear readers! When better to finish our retrospecive on Supernatural’s 10th season than the time of year that’s filled with reflection on the past and plans for moving forward? What made you happiest about season ten? Here are my picks for it’s Hits and Misses!
Supernatural Season 10: Hits and Misses Of all the seasons of Supernatural – season ten has been one of the most challenging to compile a hits and misses list for. The hits were easy to find – too easy in many ways and could probably be broken down into smaller parts of more detail and…
“Get a Room!” By Wednesday Supernatural’s Season 10 Motel Rooms PART ONE Browsing the SupernaturalWiki site, I noticed that the motel room descriptions stopped after Season Eight. In attempt to fill the void and to pay tribute to the Set designers and Location team, I offer this series of articles. Jerry Wanek, set designers, artists…
In honour of season 11 and all the attitude adjustments it wrought, today we’re counting down some of the top ten “redemption” hits in Supernatural history.
Disease has consumed the headlines in the last month—from the Ebola outbreak to the Enterovirus 68—and as a result we’ve seen fear and concern ratchet up for the nation’s safety, security, and health.

I adored this episode. I suspect Dean is not really cured. I’m worried for the future. Demon Dean was very scary. Dean is type O, John AB. Does that mean John wasn’t Dean’s father??? Biology doesn’t lie. Hannah plus Cas just wasn’t that interesting to me. But I did love his translation of human into…
Excuse me while I catch my breath, because intensity of this week really had some deep-gasp moments. The little bits in between the Sam and Dean interaction, for the most part, were kind of “meh” in this episode – but when they were on the screen – and since the boys were the majority of…
I’ve given myself a few days to reflect on “Soul Survivor” and a second viewing. I had to, because my initial impression was so negative. Well, it still is. Not everything, of course. Jensen Ackles’ direction was stellar, particularly the stalking scene but really the entire episode. What interest I had in “Soul Survivor” arose…
The biggest problem for a show in its tenth season is keeping the drama fresh. Expectations are high, and too many prior episodes have set a very high bar. Thanks to last week’s setup with the excellent episode “Reichenbach,” everything was laid out to deliver a compelling, jaw dropping, emotional drama. That’s where “Soul Survivor”…

The monsters, demons, angels—and hunters—that populate the rich world of Supernatural excite, entertain, and thrill us each week. But its what they represent that keeps us coming back.
