Once upon a time, in the year of our Chuck 2004, a band named “Bowling for Soup” released a song called “1985”*. (If you can really identify with “1985” and thus can’t make out the words to a rock song anymore, I’ve posted the lyrics at the bottom of my story. They’re too good to…
Recently on X (formerly Twitter), I happened to come across SPN Script Hunt – a group of fans who hunt down autographed copies of scripts from episodes of our beloved shows (Supernatural, Walker, Walker: Independence, The Winchesters and Gotham Knights to name a few). They then raffle off the scripts to raise money for charity….
A page from Eric Kripke’s director’s copy of Supernatural 4.22 “Lucifer Rising”, with his handwritten notes in the margin and on the Beautiful Room diagram. This script is one of the prizes available in our current raffle. “If you’re interested in writing, the best thing you can do is read scripts.” – Russell T. Davies…
Castiel: “I found the liquor store and I drank it.” If you couldn’t tell from my story about the Family Business Beer Company family reunion, I’m really a beer drinker at heart. I love the hops, the malted grain, and the experience of that first bubbly sip of a chilled beer on a hot summer…
As a Supernatural fan, you have most likely noticed how many times other shows and movies have used the plot points of Supernatural to tell their stories…and also perhaps how many times Supernatural creators have used ideas from other shows and movies, as well. For example, much has been made about the affinity Supernatural creator Eric…
Last year, I had the lucky experience of attending San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC), where professionals from television, film and comics come together to discuss their craft. SDCC 2023 happened amidst the SAG and WGA strikes, so I first met this TV writer after a panel that didn’t directly discuss their shows. That said, we…

Years ago, I was visiting my hometown in Texas for Thanksgiving break. We were hoping to visit Fox 12 brewery, but they were closed for a special event so we had to find a new locale. Searching Google maps, I spotted a nearby new brewery with what I thought of as an overly generic name….
“Bourbon Nights: Losing a Brother” Story by Gail Z. Martin Dioramas by Catherine Curl This story takes places after Supernatural 15:20 “Carry On” and Walker 3:15 “False Flag Part 2”. Spoiler warning for those seasons and episodes. The Jackalope was exactly the kind of bar Cordell Walker needed tonight. Not the Side Step, where everyone knew…
Back in 2007 I found this show that I never heard of while channel flipping, on a network I’d never heard of, and was instantly hooked. Naturally I’m talking about the show that took me on a journey that changed my life forever, Supernatural. But once I discovered this show, I went on a several…
The Green Cooler’s recent article predicting future homes of Supernatural‘s reruns got me wondering about The WB’s company affiliations that dictate where and how we all enjoy Supernatural.
