Let’s Discuss: Supernatural and Meeting Fan Expectations

This week’s “Let’s Discuss” topic is actually one that’s been weighing on my mind a lot over the last few months.  Last week’s topic on expectations for the rest of season 8 pushed this idea back to the forefront, so I think it’s time to discuss.  This past weekend the Salute to Supernatural fan convention…

For our latest “Let’s Discuss” topic, Nightsky has written up a great analysis on her take of season 8 so far and what she hopes to see in the remaining episodes.  It raises many wonderful talking points and gives us plenty to ponder in this small break from new episodes.  What exactly would you like to see for the…

Let’s Discuss: Dean Winchester – Bromance, a Gay Thing, or Other?

You know, some times you can’t ignore the elephant in the room.  This has always been a curious topic of discussion in the various “Supernatural” forums, but thanks to Ben Edlund once again opening the door, by request I’m going to open up a thread here.  What do you think of gay humor and Dean…

Let’s Discuss: What Does the Supernatural Fandom Mean To You?

This topic has been on my mind a lot this week, and since this is always been such a popular subject here at The Winchester Family Business, we should talk!   Fandom.  We’re constantly noticing how avid the “Supernatural” fans are.  Ardeospina and I recently were part of a roundtable with other fansites on Supernatural radio about what it’s like to be…

Let’s Discuss: Sam and Dean’s Flashbacks

By request, I’m opening up a new “Let’s Discuss” thread.  Primarily, the flashbacks.  Both Sam and Dean’s, although Sam’s are certainly raising some questions right now.  Are they real?  Imagined?  Distorted?  Manipulated by angels?  Relevant to a larger story in the works, or do we accept them for what they are? Here’s just a small…

Let’s Discuss: How Do You Solve a Problem Like the Angels

Let’s Discuss: How Do You Solve a Problem Like the Angels

Angels. Or, as Dean would say, “Freakin’ angels!” First mentioned in season 2’s “Houses of the Holy”, they’ve been a thorn in the side of the Winchesters since they arrived on the scene in season 4’s opener, “Lazarus Rising”.
