I thought, at first, that this hiatus was nothing. No problem. Taking it easy. No mind-boggling cliffhanger. But, as it is always with this show and my unconscious, somehow a thought of we-might-be-heading-for-a-major-fall crept silently under my skin. Thus, I needed some Winchester brother love. I don’t think you’ll mind. The song by Adele is…
The showbiz maximum is that actors should never work with kids or animals, because they’ll be upstaged by both. Supernatural has broken both halves of this rule several dozen times over, but to great effect. And for good reason. Children and animals are often associated with the otherworldly, so their inclusion in the show is…
Another Hellatus but this time we have at least “Supernatural The Animation” to watch for those who are interested. I grew up watching cartoons and as my sons started to watch TV I did what lots of parents do, I bought them the Walt Disney movies. My boys loved watching them when they were…
Loyalty of Darkness In the course of “Supernatural” we’ve met a variety of dark creatures. Some of the most prominent were the demons Meg, Ruby, Lilith, Crowley, Alistair and the angels Lucifer, Anna, Zachariah, Uriel. What were their motives? Of course, you might say, kind reader, it was world domination, determination for destruction, greed, simple…
Clean Slates and The Quality of Mercy I did a lot of Shakespeare in high school. Wait… I’ve just made The Bard sound like an illegal drug. (Although, given the beauty of his writing, perhaps it is!) To rephrase – I studied a lot of Shakespeare in high school. And since, I grew…
So, first off, how do a person and his or her name get to match? Is this because their parents/family instinctively choose an appropriate name? Is it the child who unconsciously tries to live up to what his or her name implies? How do the wishes and expectations the family has for the child come…
Illustrated Song for Two Brothers After finding a happy Dean song, well, which was more or less an excuse for assembling some happy Dean pics (guilty as charged), I couldn’t just leave it at that, of course some happy Sam pictures had to be found, too. I miss smiling Sammy, gosh, I miss him a…
Music in Supernatural and Character Theme Songs Music in Supernatural has been an ever-present, essential part of the story telling. The pilot episode, stocked as it was with drama and Winchester history, managed to make that clear. In the iconic moment that found Sam mocking Dean’s cassette collection and the ‘mullet rock’ it contained,…
The Winchester Family Business Gazette presents the results of Britain’s SFX Awards 2011 The WFB Gazette’s own Jaspala Wesson is proud to announce the outcomes of the Reader’s Poll of Britain’s number one Sci-Fi Magazine. In an act of unprecedented response thousands of readers headed online to vote for their favourites in contemporary sci-fi…
I often feel when I bring up the topic of ratings, I’m beating a dead horse. Probably because I track ratings daily for fun and often know when shows are in trouble and when they aren’t. Plus I’ve written about ratings enough on this site. I haven’t been raising any red flags for my favorite show, that’s for…
Illustrated Song for Two Brothers I watched a wild mix of older episodes over the last couple of days, and I felt the need for a Happy Dean moment. So, this comes with the not-only-on-occasion-rocking Bon Jovi and some of the pretty of Dean when he was happier, more relaxed and more smiling than…
Illustrated Song for Two Brothers Are you a fan of U2? I am. Have been for years. I love their gutsy, authentic lyrics, their raw music, Bono’s voice – it’s made for the kind of themes we are dealing with in our favourite show. The one I picked for this installment of our illustrated songs…
