It is now three weeks since the Supernatural series finale “Carry On” aired. If you read my “Threads” review of the finale, you know that I think it is a masterpiece of artistic narration. Everyone involved with its creation deserves to be immensely proud of their heartfelt gift to the SPNFamily. Predictably, with so much…
Header – WFB Banner – 2009 WFB Banner – 2011 Now that Supernatural has ended its first run on television (just putting that out in the universe), we all find ourselves looking back at its 15 years of history. What was it like when the show first started in 2005? Before conventions, or social media,…
The Morning After That’s the last time I’ll write those words about Supernatural. The Morning After. The morning after a new episode of Supernatural has aired. The morning when I try to capture my first impressions and the emotional impact an episode inspired before there’s time to logically analyze and explain, or emotionally process and…
The Morning After So Jack is the new God. Raise your hand if you predicted that would happen. It was an obvious possibility, maybe even the most probable resolution to the standoff between the Winchesters and Chuck. I, for one, don’t mind it at all. I love Jack. He deserves the promotion. The poor kid…
The Morning After Stunned. Shell Shocked. Numb… and in awe. Those are all descriptors of how I’m feeling the morning after seeing Supernatural’s “Despair”. It was a complex finale-level episode, written by Robert Berens and artistically directed by Richard Speight, Jr. So much happened, it’s hard to sort through emotions to even begin to comprehend…
The Morning After Jack: It’s time, isn’t it? Dean: It’s time. How many times have we heard that declaration (and tracked that foreshadowing thread) this season? It would be an interesting rewatch exercise to learn that answer. But this time, FINALLY, the Winchesters and the Supernatural family, who have been in a year-long holding pattern,…
The Morning After “Drag Me Away (From You)”, Meghan Fitzmartin’s debut solo Supernatural script, was a classic monster of the week hunt. She acknowledged it as such (“Going back to the CLASSICS”) during her live tweet of both the East and West coast air times. It was fun to watch her share her excitement and…
The Morning After I thoroughly enjoyed Supernatural’s 15.15 episode “Gimme Shelter”. It intrigued me. There were layers upon layers of meaning in both plot and dialog, all skillfully delivered by excellent writing, acting and directing. I found myself listening intently, trying to decipher the underlying messages about the characters’ relationships and their current quest. I…
The Morning After “Last Holiday”, Supernatural’s premiere episode of season 15, part 2 (Jared said they’re calling it season 15 ½), was a breath of fresh air. Jeremy Adam’s story was entertaining, humorous and creative but it never lost sight of the essence of the show – the family business. The Supernatural Family needed the solace…
If you’ve been following The Winchester Family Business‘ “Breathtaking Photos” series, you know that I’ve had this idea for a while. What if I put together a series of our favorite photos of Supernatural‘s lead stars and characters? I’m not talking about the good pictures, or even the really good pictures, because, let’s be honest,…
We all love Supernatural. We know it is one of the best shows ever made for television. If asked, we could list the reasons why we love it so much: the bond between the brothers, the theme of the strength of family, and that family don’t end with blood, the charisma of and chemistry between…
Is there anything fans can do to help process the grief we are all feeling over losing Supernatural? What do Jared, Jensen and Misha think Supernatural‘s legacy will be? What do you think it will be? These are some of the questions addressed in Dr. Lynn Zubernis’ latest book, There’ll Be Peace When You Are…
