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…
In my recent letter to Jared about his outstanding performance in “Sacrifice”, I reminisced about how well Jared has been building the character of Sam over the past eight years. Jared offered a similar observation at the New Jersey convention when asked about Season 8 Sam. He observed, “Season 8 Sam is not season one…
Dear Jared, It has been almost a week since your SPN family sat in front of their TV screens in awe of the season 8 finale. If everything was as it should be, you probably would have watched it with us, live tweeting occasional comments and interacting with friends, fans and fellow cast members. I…
Dear Jeremy, I am confused. It is only 2 days until Supernatural’s Season 8 finale airs in the U.S., but with so many plots and sub-plots still fluidly intertwining, I have no idea where this story is headed! I have totally given up on speculating, predicting or theorizing what is happening this season! I am…
You don’t know me, but I really feel the need to write to both of you. I know this can’t replace the support and guidance you would seek from Bobby, but there are some things you still need to hear. A few friends and I have been silently observing what you have been going through…
