The fans have spoken, and now it’s our turn! The Winchester Family Business Admins – Ardeospina, sweetondean, and Alice – have complied a list of awards for Supernatural Season 8 using totally unscientific, completely subjective, and somewhat questionable methods. Just like in prior seasons, these awards were selected by bored minds who have had…
All of you “Supernatural” fans nominated, then voted, and now we are proud to announce the results of our Winchester Family Business “Supernatural” Season Eight Awards! (The WFBSSEAs?) Below are the results from the sixteen categories put up for voting.
(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,…
Now that we’ve all had a chance to mostly forget what we saw in “Sacrifice,” I figured it was the perfect time to revisit the episode and take a look at all the pretty. And let me tell you, there was a LOT of pretty in this episode. So. Much. Pretty. In fact, there were…
Sam has always been an inward person, taking in with little protest all the horrible things that have been dished out at him. Yet in season seven, it all got borderline ridiculous. Forget borderline. The wall in his head came down, and suddenly he had to live with psychosis. Yet this is Sam Winchester, the…
Last summer, I wrote an article titled “Supernatural Season 8 and the Case for Hope.” This essay was a reaction to Season 7 which, for me, told a story that was often devoid of hope and heavy on despair, while simultaneously lacking excitement. In that season, the boys lost Bobby and (temporarily) Castiel, were forced…
It’s time for part 2 of the season 8 episode titles! If you missed part one, make sure to check it out. There were some interesting references.
In my recent letter to Jared about his outstanding performance in “Sacrifice”, I reminisced about how well Jared has been building the character of Sam over the past eight years. Jared offered a similar observation at the New Jersey convention when asked about Season 8 Sam. He observed, “Season 8 Sam is not season one…
For those that missed part one, that can be found here: A Deeper Look at Supernatural Season Eight Dean Winchester, Part One In the second half of season two, Dean became more focused as ever in his quest to close the gates of Hell. He also became a bit of a serial hugger, but…
Oh, thank you season eight! Way to bring the word “character” back to Dean Winchester. For a guy that’s been through so much, he was finally able to take many steps forward in his growth, and the end result is someone I believe in again. For anyone that read my “Deeper Look at Season…
It’s that time again! I can’t believe that season 8 is over. It was such a fun ride so let’s re-live it through the episode titles. If you’re not familiar with this article series I go through the season episode by episode and find the pop culture references behind the titles. I’m always surprised by…
8.23 Sacrifice: It Was Always God’s Intention, The Ultimate Sacrifice Metatron’s Heaven: Exile angels for revenge. Closing Hell is death. Commentary and Meta Analysis My reaction to this episode was mixed. On the one hand, the performances, direction, and technical production aspects were absolutely stellar, and it filled my eyes and broke my…
