Supernatural fans have always had a special connection to the “Weechester” back stories, aka the episodes that feature Sam and Dean as children. Season eleven’s “Just My Imagination” was no exception. In that episode, we learned a bit about how young Sam Winchester coped with being left alone while his Dad and brother were away…
After reading the book Fangasm: Supernatural Fangirls, I had the great privilege of talking with Dr. Lynn Zubernis, one of its authors and a fangirl herself. In Part 1 of the interview, Lynn explained why people join fandoms, why they are ashamed of their fannish pursuits and the tremendous benefits of being in a fandom. …
“We couldn’t find our fangirl selves in the research. …so we decided to write a book of our own on fans – one that we thought, rather naively, would set the record straight. We would figure out what being a fan was all about and we would get it right!… This is not that book….
For you youngin’s out there, way in the days before videogames became something you could enjoy for free on your phone, we had to find substitutes for a lot of now common genres. FPS? You had to get your friends and some lazer-tag guns, BB guns, or rocks and run around in the yard. RPGs?…
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…
Once again, I had the honor of doing a joint interview with Giuseppie over at Supernatural Legend, a popular “Supernatural” fan site in Italy. We’ve done a few in the past, and this time we had to honor of sending questions to Gil McKinney, who plays grandfather Henry Winchester in the episode “As Time Goes…
This afternoon (or morning for you West Coasters) I got to be part of what is truly one of my most favorite opportunities – talking to “Supernatural” consulting producer Ben Edlund. Anyone who reads my stuff knows he’s my favorite writer and perhaps I tend to push that more into worship territory. In today’s…
Samantha Ferris has often been cast in strong female roles in many sci-fi series, including “Stargate: SG-1,” “Smallville,” “The 4400” and “Battlestar Galactica” to name a few. She has also performed in several movies including V, The Evidence, Seven Deadly Sins, and one of my favorites, Along Came a Spider. It’s no wonder…
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – working on “Supernatural” has been one of the highlights of my professional career. I am truly indebted to each and every one of you who have embraced my character and enabled me to come back to the show repeatedly to play – without question –…
Out of all the interviews I did at Comic Con 2011, this one was my favorite. We were fortunate enough to get almost 15 minutes with consulting producer Ben Edlund. I’ve always wanted an extended opportunity to pick the brain of this wildly creative genius and man did he not disappoint. We even got…
Guy offers a behind-the-camera view into an aspect of media production rarely talked about, but one of the most fascinating components of the industry. After consistently working for years as a Steadicam operator, he made the difficult transition to director and has since become one of the most popular and sought out one-hour drama directors…
Let’s face it, female characters on “Supernatural” with eyes for either of our beloved Winchester brothers do not fare well with fans…normally. For me, there is one exception to that rule, and that is Cindy Sampson’s character Lisa Braeden, Dean’s love interest in season three and his one and only attempt at a normal…
