Part 1 of my report on Chicago’s Supernatural convention described the overall energy and dynamics of those fabulous three days that fans spent together with their favorite TV personalities. While it is true that each convention is unique, they are all a place where fans feel free to express themselves unabashedly through music (Karaoke!) and…
I almost skipped Richard Speight Jr’s and Matt Cohen’s panel that opened the Supernatural Chicago convention (ChiCon) Saturday morning. I had nothing against them personally but the Friday night Karaoke left me a bit blurry eyed and more than a little sluggish. Nightsky I’m the Co-Editor-in-Chief, Social Media Manager (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram), Live Tweet…
Veteran convention goers say that each convention has its own personality. The convention is affected by the location, venue, stars appearing that year, the mood of the actors and the fans, the season that is airing on TV and a number of other, probably unidentifiable factors. As I think about this year’s Supernatural Chicago Convention…
Usually I take several days to think about a new episode before creating theories. I rewatch the show, read several reviews for explanations and insights, and I let time synthesize all the input. This week, however, I don’t have that luxury as Thursday I start my adventures with ChiCon (My second con. I’m hyper excited!)….
Funny thing about loose threads. Weave enough strong threads together and you will get a colorful, coherent tapestry that tells an epic story. Pull on weak threads individually, though, and they will unravel and fall to the ground, to be swept away as meaningless clutter… Season 8 was so volatile (controversial, disappointing episodes followed by…
Are you still blown away by the season 9 premiere? Cas is not an angel, Sam is an angel, Ezekiel is a hidden angel, Hael is a mad angel, and there are plenty of dangerous, scary, treacherous angels walking the earth. Dean is tortured by the choice he had to make…again…and Death got cheated…again! So…
A week before we were utterly stunned by the emotional mayhem that was “Sacrifice”, I posted an open letter to Jeremy Carver expressing my bewilderment about the primary story line of season 8. I began the letter with the following confession: “Dear Jeremy, I am confused. It is only 4 days until Supernatural’s Season 8…
Welcome to Part 3 of our (spoiler free!) photographic examination of Supernatural’s beloved character, Bobby Singer (to catch up on Bobby’s story, start with Part 1: Creating Bobby’s Character). To recap what has been covered so far, Bobby’s character was introduced to the Supernatural series at the end of its first season. Season 2 developed…
Welcome to Part 2 of the trip down memory lane for the lovable, gruff, cunning hunter named Bobby Singer! Part 1 (if you missed it, catch up here) looked at the development of Bobby’s character in seasons 1 and 2 of Supernatural. Continuing from there, this retrospective looks at how Bobby’s character was expanded in…
There has been a lot of talk lately about the character of Bobby Singer. Why did they kill him? How could they ever bring him back in a way that respects both the story and his character? Well, before season 9 begins and maybe, hopefully resurrects the Bobby we love, I thought it would be appropriate…
Who are your heroes? The answer to that question depends on your definition of a hero. In the Supernatural world the answer is obvious. It is Sam and Dean. After all, their family motto begins with “Saving People” and they mean that quite literally. Together they have saved countless individuals from nightmares beyond anyone’s belief. …
“When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are… When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.†The Winchester brothers don’t think about death the way other people do. As hunters, they face death every day. In fact, they have actually died several times already. It hasn’t yet been…
