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 ArmourSupernatural’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 of…
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 not blond, I really thought she’d make it in the Supernatural world. But alas, my theory…
For me the lure of “Supernatural” is the relationship between the brothers. I love their bickering, their teasing, their teamwork and yes, even their occasional arguments. While I’m not a fan of lies in life part of the joy of this show is that with few exceptions the lies are usually known to exist and…
Woah, boy! Supernatural is one sexually frustrated show! If you look at the entire Supernatural oeuvre (yes, French again, because well it’s sexy), then you’ll see like a lot of pervy things. I’m not judging; we all have our…um…preferences. But oh, wow, Supernatural brings a whole new level of sexual deviancy to the major network…
So there’s an elephant in the room and it’s been here for a long time. Let’s discuss it. Let’s go there: Sex and Supernatural. Now, before you turn away and call for brain bleach, I will tell you that the not-so-brotherly love between the Winchesters will be a small part of this tale. It’s there, but…
The last episode is still in my head. It’s like a bullet lodged in there, and I can’t stop thinking about it. There is so much going on in my mind, and in many ways I am moved still. Julie, dear co-writers of ours, mentioned this song to me, and its lyrics, indeed, seem so…
