Profile on “Supernatural” Writer Robbie Thompson Part 1Profile on “Supernatural” Writer Robbie Thompson Part 2 We left of last time with Charlie Bradbury’s introduction. Thompson made the character endearing and memorable from the very start—and it only made sense to make her into an ally for the Winchesters. We’ll look at how she evolved into…
In the first part of this profile, we discussed Robbie Thompson’s non-Supernatural projects and his debut episode, “Slash Fiction.” We examined his ability to tell human stories within the frameworks of the science fiction genre—and how that helped him to write rich scripts for Sam and Dean. In this part, we’ll look at his other…
It’s hard to believe that Robbie Thompson has only written for two seasons of Supernatural. His episodes are full of pop culture, heart, soul, and brotherly moments that make it seem as if he’s been writing for the show since the beginning. Thompson has managed to grasp the core of the story easily and has…
Once upon a time, when this was a much smaller site and I inconceivably had more time in my life, I used to do these things called full length recaps. I’ve always loved the recaps on Television Without Pity (other shows, not necessarily “Supernatural”) and I chose to do ones for “Supernatural” that were, I…
So it’s official. Dean’s a hug-monster. The man truly does “wuz hugs” and I’m cool with it! Oh boy am I cool with it! I was excited for this episode from the beginning. I like Charlie; I like Robbie Thompson’s writing. I was thinking, this is going to be a fun filler! That’s what…
Whoa. 4 episodes left in the season. That seems pretty crazy. The Js have already wrapped and as I was writing this, Russ Hamilton tweeted that it was the last day of shooting for the crew. Season 8 is nearly over. It’s kinda hard to believe! So as we hurtle towards the end of…

Episodes like “Goodbye Stranger” can be so damned frustrating. Oh, don’t get me wrong, it was a stellar episode, one of the best of the season, but it left me screaming for more. I want to know what happens next and I want to know now! (Commence major foot stomping and object throwing at this…
Well hello “Supernatural” you’re on fire baby! “Goodbye Stranger” was damn fine. I can easily judge how much I dig an episode by how much noise I make and at one stage I was a tad worried that me screaming “No, no, no” at my television might have my neighbours calling the cops! (Alas they…
Sometimes this show just blows my mind. Lucky for me, it’s been doing that a lot this season. It’s been awhile since we talked about the tablets, Naomi, Cass or Crowley. So to have all these threads come together in one episode was really exciting. I knew “Goodbye Stranger” was going to be good from…
Hi! So it’s been a few weeks since we were all together. How’re y’all doing? Did you survive the mini-hiatus? Have you been dreaming about hot boys in muscle cars and angels in trench coats? Oh, maybe that’s just me, Awkward… Anyhoo, Are we ready for a brand new episode? Yes, yes we are!…
