Supernatural VanCon: “M” Day! Part 2 – Misha!
Part 1 of my report on “M” day (aka Saturday) at the Vancouver Supernatural convention featured the indomitable Mark Sheppard, plus Tahmoh Penikett, Matt Cohen and the myriad of other guests who had shared Friday’s fun with us. Saturday afternoon’s fun began with a splash, watching Gil McKinney and Matt Cohen get wet for the…

Supernatural VanCon: “M” Day! Part 1- Mark!
Saturday morning. The dreaded “morning after” Karaoke. Everyone is more than a little blurry eyed and definitely a bit sluggish. I turned in at 2 a.m., and that was only because I left before Karaoke was over! Rob Benedict and the Elastic Waste Band opened Saturday’s festivities because Richard Speight, Jr., our fearless leader, was…

Far Away Eyes’ Review: “Supernatural” 9.14- “Captives”
Everyone in “Captives” was held hostage at some point. This took physical form—restraints, holding cells, and locked doors. People were handcuffed or tied. Some were chained. Others were bound to the physical plane while being a spirit. In truth, however, everyone was held captive by the same thing in the end: grief. Each character seemed…

Threads: 9.09 “Holy Terror”
As expected, Supernatural’s mid-season finale sent emotional shock waves throughout fandom. Plot twists and revelations that have taken days to process. Numbness, disbelief and horror over Kevin’s death. Anger and concern for the desperate situations overtaking Sam and Dean. Relief and celebration yet trepidation for Castiel. Revulsion for Metatron. Confusion, hate and maybe some pity…

Far Away Eyes’ Review: “Supernatural” 9.09- “Holy Terror”
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…

The Heart and Soul of Supernatural ChiCon – Part 4
In Part 1 of my Supernatural convention reports, I described why I thought Osric Chau was the heart of this year’s Chicago convention (Richard declared that Osric was the convention’s “#1 Fan”). (Osric’s jacket during his panel. I didn’t have a copy of this picture at the time I wrote Osric’s story, but Alesia…

Far Away Eyes’ Review: “Supernatural” 9.06- “Heaven Can’t Wait”
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…

The Heart and Soul of Supernatural ChiCon – Part 1
Veteran convention goers say that each convention has its own personality. The convention is affected by the location, venue, stars appearing that year, the mood of the actors and the fans, the season that is airing on TV and a number of other, probably unidentifiable factors. As I think about this year’s Supernatural Chicago Convention…

Far Away Eyes’ Review: Supernatural 9.02, “Devil May Care”
The second episode of the ninth season of Supernatural shows us exactly why this show has endured and thrived for this long. Originally, the series was billed in the horror genre—filled with monsters and ghosts and gore galore. The goal was to explore what goes bump in the night and to investigate what frightens us…
