I was just heading to the kitchen to feed my dog Harry when I heard Dean yell out “Son of a bitchâ€, which is how my phone announces I have a message. I grabbed it assuming it was something everyday, only to see that long awaited tweet from @jarpad….. “It’s a boy :)†KABOOOOM! Supernatural…
Congratulations to Jared and Genevieve on the arrival of their son! On the very, very, VERY off chance that either of them will read this, here are the “Top 10 Things A New Parent Should Know, From A New Parent.”
Grotesque Rules of Engagement: The Ethics of the Hunt on Supernatural “The growing doubt of human autonomy and reason has created a state of moral confusion where man is left without guidance of either revelation or reason.” – Erich Fromm, Man for Himself To say Supernatural is morally confused might be an understatement….
Before diving back into this, I again would like to issue a reminder. Please, please, please! I beg, plead, ask and request, no attacks on the actresses. This is a sensitive subject to the fandom in general, I realize that. But this is a look at the demon Ruby, not at the women who…
No Sympathy for a Devil Part I Or A Closer Look at Ruby So I tend to think about Supernatural when I should be thinking about, and writing about, other things. Such as the four final papers that are coming due for Grad school. This week. But what the hey right? This is Supernatural….
Fighting That Step into Chaos No, I’m not going to be ok without Bobby. Yes, he has done enough but I don’t care, I need Bobby. This came as a rather surprising revelation. I hadn’t known how much he meant, how much he means. I have been away from fandom for a while….
“IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND” by Lightfoot & Winchester Over the years, Supernatural has shown it can stretch beyond its classic rock roots. We’ve seen Dean lip-synching to Air Supply, Bobby referencing Joni Mitchell and Sam choosing to put Jason Manns on his iPOD playlist. Still, I doubt Canadian folksinger Gordon Lightfoot will…
“We’re all we’ve got left. We ought to be able to stick together against everything. If we don’t have each other, we don’t have anything.” (The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton) The Winchesters are often described as “outsiders”. They see themselves in that light, especially when they use it as a synonym for “freak”. They…
While little Sammy has the addiction issues out front and center, our Dean likes to hide his issues. Granted, Sam is all kinds of messed up, but with him, at least, he has the whole intellectual objectivity going on so he knows he’s unhealthy most of the time and when he doesn’t, he has rationalized…
Dammit! Wincest! I can’t quit you. I just can’t. So I’m taking your smelly flannel shirt out of the closet, holding it close to my face (in a totally loving and not stalkerish way), and proudly proclaiming you in public. Yes, Wincest, I believe you exist. I affirm you. You are in the world,…
Knights in Modern Armour Supernatural’s Chivalrous Heroes When I look at our beloved show, there are many things I see There is, of course, heartbreak, gruesome adventure, love, idealism, loyalty and, in a modern way, chivalry. I love history, and, naturally, I love to dig into these topics ‘A true knight is fuller…
Sexual Issue #3: Bad Touching, or Why You Shouldn’t Let Girls Get Full Up in You. First off, I have a girl crush. I’ll just admit it right now. Ellen Harvelle, if I swung that way, yeah baby, that’s a woman I’d be all up on. Just sayin’. And you know, considering that she’s…
