“Stretching back to Cain and Abel. It’s in your blood, your father’s blood, your family’s blood.” —Michael, “The Song Remains the Same” Supernatural has explicitly laced Biblical lore through its mythology since season four—and season nine has shaped itself around that of Genesis. The Garden of Eden and the Fall of Man was a focal…
Hi, I’m Percysowner and Alice is allowing me to drive the bus for this week’s Spoiler/Spec article. Abandon being spoiled all ye who enter here!! Previously: • Dean gives Kevin a hunter’s funeral • Dean connects with Cas and tells him that Dean is going to kill Gadreel, Cas reminds Dean that killing Gadreel means…
The first half of season nine explored Castiel’s experience as the new Adam, the fall of angels from Heaven, and the aftermath of the Trials—particularly that of Dean allowing Gadreel to possess his brother, Sam. We watched each of these stories reflect or weave around a particular center—the Garden of Eden and the Fall of…
It never fails whenever returning from a mid-winter break. It’s that point in the season where we look backward with both fondness and scrutiny, yet at the same time hit that little “reset” button and move ahead with eager anticipation, just happy that we’re getting something different. Judging by the previews, different seems about right….
The Garden of Eden has played a beautiful backdrop to the season storylines—and in “Holy Terror,” we realize that it has been the epicenter for which all the stories revolve around elegantly. The Garden and the Fall have been laced throughout the episodes leading up to this one in very particular ways. Supernatural wisely uses…
Nope, we’re not talking about Frank Miller’s comic story here. You know, I remember a time when I looked forward to Castiel’s appearances and furthering of the season arcs… Ok ok, to shake things up, I’m going to get all my complaining in FIRST, then end with everything positive I liked about this episode. …There’s…
So far, season nine has been about the human condition. Supernatural has explored it in various and powerful methods throughout its history, but in this episode it is a vibrant thread. Normally, we explore this through Sam and Dean themselves—but the show takes advantage of the supernatural characters available to them—here a former angel and…
Part 1 of my report on Chicago’s Supernatural convention described the overall energy and dynamics of those fabulous three days that fans spent together with their favorite TV personalities. While it is true that each convention is unique, they are all a place where fans feel free to express themselves unabashedly through music (Karaoke!) and…
Welcome Robert Berens. You did a very nice job. I guess I wasn’t looking forward to this episode quite as much as some people. I’m impatient (in a good way) for what’s going on between Sam and Dean and the nasty road that’s taking us down and though I’m interested to see how Castiel…
I almost skipped Richard Speight Jr’s and Matt Cohen’s panel that opened the Supernatural Chicago convention (ChiCon) Saturday morning. I had nothing against them personally but the Friday night Karaoke left me a bit blurry eyed and more than a little sluggish. Nightsky I’m the Co-Editor-in-Chief, Social Media Manager (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram), Live Tweet…
Day Two: Saturday October 12th Destination: Westin Harbour Castle Convention Centre Welcome to Day Two of Superstock (Supernatural Woodstock). I headed out about 08:30am to catch my bus. I needed to take three buses to get to Bay and Harbour. Since this was a new route for me I gave myself a little more time….
The third episode takes the threads of the young season and blends them into a complex and emotional story. On one hand, we have Castiel coping with being rendered human, and on the other we have the brothers dealing with the fall out from the fallen angels while trying to find their former angel friend….
