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…
My good friends Lynn and Kathy at Fangasm have posted their Jim Beaver Interview from the Chicago con. He shares some great behind the scenes info including pranking Jared and Jensen. It’s a pretty entertaining read, especially since Jim was coasting on fumes when this interview took place at 3 am. Enjoy! http://fangasmthebook.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/jim-beaver-talks-jensen-jared-and-subtext-%e2%80%93-and-pranks-back/#more-66
Okay, it’s been a couple of days and the responses have considerably slowed, so for those of you dying to know the answers to the Trivia Quiz, I won’t keep you hanging. I’ll tell ya, a couple of you came close, but no one got the answers 100% right. So, I must have done my…
As you all may have noticed, I tend to post articles from guest contributors for the site. Only elle2 though has ever been deemed an official “Winchester Family Business writer.” It’s taken me long enough, but I’m so lucky to get so many great articles from these people that recognition is due. I’m giving the “staff writer” title to five…
What’s so great about Season 1? With all of the rumors, gossip, hope or whatever, that there will be a Season 6 the prevailing theme (in the two or three comments I’ve painstakingly sought out and read) is that Kripke is going to return Supernatural to its roots, you know, the ones of Season…
