Come December, Cleveland is like virtually every other Western city; glowing strings of red, green and gold are threaded through the barren boughs lining downtown streets. Except that here, one also strangely finds two unorthodox troupes of very bright blue huddling around the veterans’ memorial and the northwest corner of Public Square. When the dark,…
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the land The apocalypse looms ever closer at hand. As stockings are hung by the chimney with care, Two brothers have a war for which prepare While vision of sugar plums dance in our head, The brothers have numerous visions of dread. Christmas’ filled…
‘All happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.’ Leo Tolstoi After dealing with the guilt issues of Sam and Dean in another article, I felt compelled to take a closer look at the relationships of the Winchester men. John’s role remains a crucial one,…
I’m really proud to share this one. Sablegreen has been working on this for a while and has done some most excellent research into pursuing a theory about Supernatural’s appeal in today’s down economy and whether it might have an impact on ratings. Since I seem to be an avid follower of TV ratings and…
Today’s thought bending contribution comes from Randal. Inspired by Jasminka’s “Warriors of Light” he takes his brain twisting knowledge of literature (as well as occupational hazard) and has come up with a rather inspired analysis of texts and their role in Supernatural. You’ll never look at a book the same way again! I’m still in awe over the creative minds…
Sam and Dean – Guilty As Hell? The Double-Edged Sword of Guilt of the Winchester Psyche ‘Guilt is the very nerve of sorrow’, Horace Bushnell once said. Everyone who ever felt guilty will easily second that quote, and it doesn’t matter really why the emotional condition we call guilt entered our system. We…
The idea for this compilation came to me while I was sick. I was given Paul Coelho’s book ‘Warrior Of The Light’. Now, I’m not exactly a fan of his writing, though I liked ‘The Alchemist’. When reading his ‘warrior manual’ I sometimes felt reminded of our favourite show and its leading characters. The…
I have another great one to share today (but hey, isn’t everything here great? ). No, this one is really good, honest. Faellie sent this to me a week and a half ago and I finally have the right occasion to share it. Enjoy her indepth and well written analysis on the roles of tactics and strategies in Supernatural. …
Nine weeks, by Elle2 So how did eight weeks become nine? I have no idea. January 14th was the date for Supernatural to return – that is until last night. Now, Supernatural is returning on January 21st. I hope someone, somewhere, sometime (soon) will correct that error and go back to the January 14th return date. There, I’m sure…
Today I’m kicking off what I’m calling “Con week,” as in Fan Convention, not ex. As many of you know, I’m getting ready to attend this weekend’s “Salute To Supernatural” convention in Chicago (at least Saturday and Sunday). Considering this week’s episode is a weird story that takes place at a Supernatural convention, I’m going to ride…
I just wrote a preview article for The Big Bang Theory on Blogcritics because after meeting the producers and actors at Comic Con, a show that I casually watched has now turned into a show I must watch. In catching up I’ve become a really big fan. It premieres tomorrow and I’m pretty excited about…
Hellatus Check – Hellatus Ends!!!! Sixteen short weeks ago Season 4 ended. One week from now Season 5 begins. We made it, Hellatus is over! What an amazing time this has been, so many articles, so many episodes rewatched, so many teasers and rumors and wonderings, so many Cons, so many fics written – I’ve only been…
