Part 1: The Good, The Bad, And The Crowley The man who became a demon. The demon who became a Ruler of Crossroads. The Ruler of Crossroads who became the King of Hell. Crowley’s rise to power has shown one thing to be undeniably true – he’s a survivor. Whether you’re a fan…
Part One: Seasons Five and Six “Cannot be ill, cannot be good.” – Macbeth, Act I, Scene 3 Villains and heroes share one important trait – they often act to build a better world, to right perceived wrongs, to bring justice to an unjust system. They diverge, many times, in motivation. Heroes tend to act from a…
Dean Winchester. Let’s face it, his character is iconic. The big brother, the protector of all bad, the macho hero in the leather jacket with the smart mouth… He’s that “no chick-flick” moments kind of guy that underneath it all has a soft and tender side who loves chick flicks and makes women (and some…
I’ve really struggled with putting together my “Deeper Look” articles this season, both for Sam and Dean. We were given 23 episodes and that is usually plenty of time to do a deep character examination. Season Eleven went a different way though, different than any other season before it. Character development was a sorry after…
Initially, I began looking at Sam and Dean separately when it came to their motives and desires: two wholly individual pieces on two different men. As time went on, however, it became increasingly apparent that you can’t readily examine one without the other present because as we well know – the Winchester brothers are…
In honour of season 11 and all the attitude adjustments it wrought, today we’re counting down some of the top ten “redemption” hits in Supernatural history.
After I made “A Tribute to the Kick-Ass Women of Supernatural” and part 2 , I wanted to write a similar article about men. I value both in Supernatural because the show has some of the most remarkable guest actors and actresses, so the loss of both are deeply felt. I decided to use the same…
Like his brother, Dean has evolved in a multitude of ways since we first met him over ten years ago. On first glance, Dean was confident, cocky and maybe even arrogant to the surface glance. He was flash and sparkle to cover the untouched child issues and the deep emotional needs he couldn’t address in…
Welcome to Part 3 of our (spoiler free!) photographic examination of Supernatural’s beloved character, Bobby Singer (to catch up on Bobby’s story, start with Part 1: Creating Bobby’s Character). To recap what has been covered so far, Bobby’s character was introduced to the Supernatural series at the end of its first season. Season 2 developed…
Welcome to Part 2 of the trip down memory lane for the lovable, gruff, cunning hunter named Bobby Singer! Part 1 (if you missed it, catch up here) looked at the development of Bobby’s character in seasons 1 and 2 of Supernatural. Continuing from there, this retrospective looks at how Bobby’s character was expanded in…
There has been a lot of talk lately about the character of Bobby Singer. Why did they kill him? How could they ever bring him back in a way that respects both the story and his character? Well, before season 9 begins and maybe, hopefully resurrects the Bobby we love, I thought it would be appropriate…
(For those that missed part one, it can be found here.) For the second half of season eight, Sam’s life took a very different path from the first half. Once again, fate stepped in and had other ideas for Sam and his new outlook on life. It all started with the appearance of his grandfather,…
