Ben Edlund, one of the brilliant writers who shaped Supernatural‘s mythology in the first half of its groundbreaking 15-year run, penned 24 episodes in seasons 2 through 8. Some of his episodes, such as “Hollywood Babylon” (2.18), “Ghostfacers” (3.13), “Monster Movie” (4.05) and “The French Mistake” (6.15), were fun, creative departures from routine episodic television….
Hi, everyone! I’m back with another Supernatural Top Ten list! This time I’m featuring characters who either started as a Friend but then became a Foe, and/or characters who started out as an Enemy but later became an Ally. Once again, I chose my list by picking the first ten characters that came to mind,…
Well, I knew who wrote this episode without even paying attention to the credits. Nate WinchesterNate Winchester is an aspiring author, blogger, and strangely the only male writer for The Winchester Family Business.
The Morning After Now that’s more like it! Supernatural‘s “Destiny’s Child” engaged the imagination. There was mystery, emotion and plot development. Granted, some of the new canon that was introduced to advance our heroes’ plights required a massive suspension of disbelief, but at least the episode mostly made sense and was super fun to watch!…
What a fascinating episode. For me, Supernatural episodes fall into one of the following three categories: 1. Essential to the arc of the season 2. Monster of the week 3. Comedy/One-offs (ala “The French Mistake”) This episode was kind of, sort of, all three mixed up into one. It’s thrown me for a loop a little.
THEN – Baby’s tail lights. Cas confusedly watching porn on TV, while Sam and Dean look at him, mortified. “I learned that from the pizza man.” Cas kisses Meg. Ruby opens the door for Bobby and Dean and asks, “Where’s the pizza?” Dean eats pizza – pizza – pizza. “I’m done.” Jack. Billie. Sam says…
Editor’s Note: To celebrate Genevieve Padalecki’s birthday, I went looking through our archives for articles about her portrayal of Ruby. This 2-part analysis was first published in December of 2011. It traces Ruby’s motivations and impact on Sam and Dean from her introduction in season 3 through her death in season 4. It goes deeper…

The Boys Are Back in Town (Probably Time To Flee) EPISODE NINE: Playing both sides of the scale, episode nine leads into the middle of the season with a loud shock, or something quiet but equally captivating. Sometimes clear, but often confusing, the elements introduced here usually click into place by the end of the…
This episode introduces us to Anna Milton. She isn’t a normal girl, like she appears, but is really an angel who fell to earth by her own choice. We also get to spend some good times with Sam and Ruby and to take a journey down Memory Lane.
“I’m Sorry, Have You Met Me?”By WEDNESDAYWelcome to another:There are people we’ve heard of, but never really got to know. (Like Sully was to Dean.) Sometimes we run into old friends and realize we’ve changed and we need time to reconnect with each other.(Like Sully and Sam’s friendship.)With this in mind, it’s a sensible idea…
This is one of my purely speculative classes. I don’t try to predict the show’s story, as a rule: I never, ever, want to get invested in my idea of a story and thus be predisposed to reject and be disappointed by any different version – however potentially brilliant – making it to screen. But…
