Like with special effects, there are certain “tricks” and techniques to narratives and storytelling which, if it’s done right, the audience should not notice without effort. When it goes wrong, the audiences’ mind catches it and will reject the story even if they’re not conscious of it immediately. The first and most important rule of…
You know, I’m not much of a shipper all things concerned. I mean I have some opinions on which relationships work best for a character based upon what the narrative has done so far, but in general, as long as the creators put some effort into justifying the pairing, I don’t care. Still, I have…

(This is a modified repost of an article written by Nate on his blog back in 2009. It still raises some interesting questions!) Looking back over the core Kripke years, one realizes that it wasn’t just about the brothers, but 5 years also battling their arch nemesis. An arch nemesis so fiendish, he continued to…
