Something’s been nagging at me the last few months about this favorite show of mine, and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it until I read this fantastic article from an editor of “The Vampire Diaries.” Nancy Forner shared a lot about the editing process for a genre vs. a procedural show. How tone plays a…
Recently I watched Sons Of Anarchy and by watched I mean devoured. I literally consumed it. I only stopped long enough to go to work. The minute I got home, BAM, next episode. I stayed up later than usual, got up earlier than usual, all to watch a TV show. I watched 4 seasons in…
Okay, so season six and seven of Supernatural have been unpopular in many ways with the fandom. And understandably so: there were changes to the atmosphere of the show, characters were altered in confusing and non-sensical ways, plots have been dropped at random and character development has been questionable at time. So, with all that…
It was a moment of deep triumph yet bitter disappointment. Supernatural won two 2012 People’s Choice awards, Best SciFi/Fantasy show and a big win in for Best Broadcast Drama. The latter was an award that always has been televised. However, this ended up being the first year they elected not to air the Best…
The concept of an academy has a long history in Western Civilization, dating all the way back to Plato. You all know Plato, right? For those unfamiliar with the second most important Greek philosopher of all time (Aristotle being the first, naturally – that’s a pun, but ignore my geekiness), then a quick history…
Once or twice a year, I go through how this crazy old ratings system works in the US. Supernatural’s “soft†ratings lately have gotten a lot of people worried and I’ve been getting a lot of messages. A few have even suggested dusting off the old “Save Our Show!†posters from the days when a…
Yes, I said it. Teenagers hate “Supernatural.” Okay, so maybe that’s a little harsh. When one looks at the fandom, it’s fairly obvious that most “Supernatural” fans are women over the age of 18. A good sized-portion of the fans is made up of teenagers, but for a network that is targeted towards teenagers,…
Jared Padalecki – Talent to be Reckoned With It seems right under my nose a marvellous young actor evolved, and I didn’t know! I first noticed Jared Padalecki in Supernatural. I had not seen any of his previous work. I had not been familiar with Gilmore Girls, Young MacGyver or House of Wax. I…
How the Suburban Housewife Escapes: Or, Why I Love Supernatural Please note, this is an open letter to my dear friends who just do not understand (or may not even know about) my SPN obsession. Permission granted liberally to use this text to explain it to your friends, too. Friday nights are mine. No, I’m…
Thanks Alice and WFB crew for an informative interview with Sera Gamble. I was really eager to read the interview, because I love spoilers and get extremely curious about what’s going to happen next, and how we’re going to get there. What really fascinated me though are all the comments. And they fascinated me…
As I plan my return back to normalcy after this weekend’s Salute to Supernatural convention in San Francisco, it seems right to take some time to share the reason why I put my life in temporary turmoil (as well as this website) and go to these conventions. After all, I’ve met many of the guests several…
Journalist or Fan Who Writes Stuff? by Elle2 I really don’t know what to say about my latest article that had laid fairly dormant until someone decided to insinuate that I had been ‘reprogrammed’ (a direct shot at Alice as I perceived it based on prior attacks) and then a comment that implied that…
