After a delay due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes, I can proudly announce that Supes Ain’t Always Heroes – Inside the Complex Characters and Twisted Psychology of The Boys, has been released this week. This book is the latest from our dear friend Lynn Zubernis at Fangasm and Matthew Snyder. It’s Lynn’s first…
We have a pretty exciting announcement here at The Winchester Family Business. Our dear friend Lynn Zubernis at Fangasm has announced that her latest book, SUPES AIN’T ALWAYS HEROES, is available for pre-order! This is her first book for The Boys and she is sharing the editing duties this time with her colleague Matthew Snyder. The…
Supernatural has resonated with many people because of the timelessness of many of its themes like brotherly love, sacrifice, and courage against unbeatable odds. Recently, I was thinking about one of my favorite books, Watership Down by Richard Adams, and I was shocked to discover that there were several similarities between the book and the show. Contrary to what…
What an episode. I’ve mentioned before that some of my favorite episodes of Supernatural are the ones where we get to see the Winchesters being their competent and confident selves, and this episode was a perfect example. I thought the episode was properly structured, focusing primarily on the Winchesters, whilst also moving our story forward with Jack…
Supernatural decides to go into unexplored territory by… being normal???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…wait, what? Wow, that was freaking brilliant. For once, I’m pleasantly surprised. For those that did not realize (and I haven’t read this from anyone yet) Andrew Dabb pulled a fast one on us. It’s pretty clever. The official name for the genre used here is surrealism, but a more modern day term is a…
What a fascinating episode. The last few episodes have been very confusing and confounding for me, so it was nice to have a simpler episode, but one which was no less emotionally and thematically relevant and complex.
“The Heroes’ Journey” was certainly an interesting episode. As far as timing goes, it was a dose of levity after so much angst and turmoil. That said, this episode left me with mixed feelings overall in spite of the laughter and effervescent presence of DJ Qualls’ Garth.

The Morning After On the surface, Supernatural’s “The Heroes’ Journey” was a hilarious break in the intensity of the brothers’ lives, watching Sam and Dean fumble and bumble around like two extremely uncoordinated buffoons in a bunker! It was also a delightful goodbye to Garth, who got to save the day and live happily ever…
THEN: Chuck says, “I hate missing my favorite show.” The Winchesters kill monsters. Lots of killing. Dean says, “We’re the guys who saved the world.” We see Garth with his werewolf wife. Chuck says, “You still think you’re the hero of this story.” He destroys their spell and says, “That was just the beginning. This…
Um…err…well…oh crap. Who am I kidding? There are 11 episodes of “Supernatural” left and at this point, I would like to watch episodes I actually enjoy. When I look at the construction and intent of “The Trap” from a writer’s perspective, I see what was supposed to happen. On paper, it could be perceived as…
