After a seven week holiday break, The Winchesters returns to us Tuesday, January 24 at a new time of 9E/8C (U.S.). Having aired seven episodes, the Supernatural prequel is half way through its 13 episode first season. In that time, we met the younger versions of John Winchester and Mary Campbell, and Mary’s hunting buddies:…
On November 16, 2022, Nicki Aycox, better known to the Supernatural family as her character Meg Masters, passed away at the age of 47. Her death was confirmed with a touching tribute and several family photos by her sister-in-law Susan Raab Ceklosky on Facebook: My beautiful, smart, fierce, incredibly talented, and loving sister-in-law, Nicki Aycox…
The Morning After Phew! I now know how Castiel must have felt when Metatron forced the sum total of all pop culture references into his mind in the span of a few seconds! After six episodes of a slow but steady flow of clues to the Akrida, the Men of Letters, and the disappearances of…
The Winchester Family Business‘ “Inspired by Supernatural” article series showcases the amazing talent within the SPNFamily. The painters, sculptors, jewelry makers, quilters, artists and creators of unique craftwork we have interviewed enrich the fandom with their beautiful expressions of love and admiration for Supernatural and its cast. Through these interviews, we hope to spread the…
A Week Later For five weeks, we have tracked The Winchesters’ messages about shedding one’s past, or learning how to live with the trauma carried forward from that past. For the first time, though, 1.06 “Art of Dying”, foreshadowed a future we know awaits both John and Mary. I didn’t hear this thread the first…
Going to New York Comic Con 2022 (“NYCC”) to see the premiere screening of The Winchesters was a near necessity for me. Once it was announced that the “Pilot” episode would be shown to a ballroom full of people before it premiered on television, I went into full out panic/obsessed mode to get tickets, credentials and…
The Morning After I’ve been very excited to dive into the “Threads” of The Winchesters fifth episode “Legend of a Mind”. So many themes of the season became clear, pulling together the strands of stories we had only glimpsed up to this point. Whereas the prior episode “Masters of War” was an emotional story, “Legend…
A Few Days Later Absolutely superb! The Winchesters’ “Masters of War” brought the fledgling series to the next level of storytelling. Grounded in the moving performances of Drake Rodger as John Winchester and JoJo Fleites as Carlos Cervantez, veterans haunted by memories of their time in the Vietnam War, this “monster of the week” episode…
The Morning After The Winchesters third episode, “You’re Lost Little Girl”, furthered our knowledge of each of the characters in the newly named “monster club” that Mary, John, Latika, Carlos and Ada have formed to save people and hunt things. It also gave us a peek at the emotional depth the show needs to hook…
We all loved Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy in Amazon’s series, The Boys. Jensen’s character was the quintessential bad boy but his nuanced portrayal made us all sympathize with the supercharged, conflicted anti-hero we were supposed to fear! Well, critics took notice and nominated Jensen for a Saturn Award for Best Guest Starring Performance in…
The Morning After Well, that didn’t take long! After voicing my hesitations about Carlos’ over–the-top hippie vibe seen in The Winchesters previews, he showed us a more sensitive side in the series’ “Pilot”, giving me hope that there was depth beneath his bell bottom, beaded jewelry façade. This week, Carlos totally stole the show. If…
Get Ready for the Premiere of The Winchesters! The big day is finally here – tonight is the premiere of new series (and prequel for Supernatural), The Winchesters. For the #SPNFamily, it’s been a long, lonely time without the “saving people, hunting things” story we came to know so well, so there’s a lot of…
