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…
When I last left off profiling the words of wisdom spouted by our intrepid hero those many months ago (dodges flying tomatoes), Dean had just sort of sold his soul to a demon in order to bring Sam back from the dead. Talk about a perspective changer. Dean’s sharp tongued lines went from snarky in season one to…
We’re obsessed, yes? We clear our schedules for Thursday night (or celebrate when outside events clear them for us). We check in here as often as real life permits and the withdrawal pains of Hellatus demand. We’ve got the DVDs and the downloads, and rewatch obsessively, sometimes in chronological order to get the benefit of…
Inspiration is a wondrous creature – suddenly it raises its head out of nowhere, when you least expect – after watching a couple of old Supernatural episodes, Indeep’s song from the eighties ‘Last Night a DJ Saved My Life ‘ was played on the radio. Suddenly words began to form in my head, pounding against…
The Odyssey in a Bottle (‘Til the Bottle Gets Busted in a Car Wreck Blues) Well I roam from town to town, I go through life without a care, And I’m as happy as a clown, With my two fists of iron, but I’m goin’ nowhere. – Dion, The Wanderer Happy as a…
One of the mysteries of season 5 has been the question of where Sam’s powers have gone. In season 4 we find him quite a formidable force indeed. He re-established the fact that the demon ‘ray gun’ does not affect him when Samhain uses it in It’s The Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester ; an ability which…
Winter Hellatus. It’s not all bad. This is the time where we all can take a deep breath, sit back, and examine with objectivity the 10 hours of Supernatural season five we’ve been given thus far. It’s a chance to see the forest from the trees and look at the work as one big mass rather than the…
‘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,…
Some very, very exciting news! This just came out an hour ago. Supernatural has FINALLY been picked up for US second run syndication. The really exciting news is it will be running on TNT, which is owned by Time Warner, corporate parent of Warner Brothers which owns Supernatural. So not only are they keeping the…
Having had such a positive reaction to my retro-look at The Pilot – and a moment of Wendigo – I decided to try my hand at another of Season 1’s episodes that stood out from the others. Granted, some of you may say to yourself – she chose that episode? What about Home or Faith or Shadow…
We’ve had some fascinating female characters in this show, but only Ruby and Bela endured for more than one episode. Inspired by elle’s latest article, I felt compelled to take a closer look at one of the show’s most misunderstood and most hated characters, ‘the so-called Bela Talbot’.
I love going back and recapping landmark episodes. You know, the ones that constantly stick with either Sam and Dean forever and traces of it can still be seen today. This one especially is a ground breaking character defining moment. Dean Winchester was never the same after this. For those that are trying like mad…
