I had an extra day for VanCon fun with the Monday Location Tour on the infamous Russ Bus. We arrived for our departure around 8:45 in the morning and signed the waivers that stated we wouldn’t hold Creation liable—and waited to board the bus. Problem was there was no bus to board, and Russ was…
Supernatural Season 9 wisely begins where Season 8 ends: both in timeline and in emotional impact. It is immediately after “Sacrifice,” and all the speculation and questions can finally be answered in “I Think I’m Going to Like It Here.” We have two story lines making their trajectory across the screen, briefly meeting before becoming…
Once again, all convention photos seen here are courtesy of Julie from Carry On. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Sundays at Supernatural Conventions are generally considered the BIG Day. They’re the day J2 have their panels. This convention was no different. Sunday was full of energy and buzz and eager anticipation. This time, however, I wasn’t Gold,…
Once again, the photos from the convention in this report are courtesy of Julie from Carry On. Day 2 of the Convention opened with Jim Michaels—or in keeping with Porncouver, Tabitha Susan. This was my first convention with anyone other than actors speaking, so I was eager to hear what types of things he’d…
Let me start this by saying: I’m sorry I didn’t live tweet any of the Con really. Apparently when they invented smartphones they meant to make the phone smarter than the operator. I really couldn’t figure out WiFi, so most of the time I had no service since I didn’t want a huge data bill….
As I continue my Summer Hellatus rewatch, I constantly run into scenes or episodes that remind me of why I love this show so much. “Yellow Fever” is, without a doubt, one of those episodes for me. I love how comedic it is. On its surface it is a lighter episode and full of laughs….
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…
In the first part of this profile, we discussed Robbie Thompson’s non-Supernatural projects and his debut episode, “Slash Fiction.” We examined his ability to tell human stories within the frameworks of the science fiction genre—and how that helped him to write rich scripts for Sam and Dean. In this part, we’ll look at his other…
It’s hard to believe that Robbie Thompson has only written for two seasons of Supernatural. His episodes are full of pop culture, heart, soul, and brotherly moments that make it seem as if he’s been writing for the show since the beginning. Thompson has managed to grasp the core of the story easily and has…
Vamptopus. Raging unicorns. Ball washers. Robots with laser eyes. Pizza that tastes like butt. Glitter. Clowns. All of these things can be found in the iconic season 7 episode “Pennywhistle’s Magical Menagerie.” It is rich with Supernatural’s history and full of Easter eggs for the fans to discover and take delight in. It relishes in…
With it now officially being Summer Hellatus, per tradition I have started rewatching the show over. I am struck by how much Padalecki and Ackles have grown into Sam and Dean’s shoes through the seasons—and astonished by how quickly they grasped these two characters from the very start. I was particularly impressed with Padalecki’s performance…
After getting side tracked by a suggestion by love2boys, I returned to my previously advertised choice of cupcakes for our Supernatural Cupcake Wars: a red velvet cupcake otherwise known as “Alpha Vampire’s Delight.” It seemed like a wise choice. After all, Rick Worthy, the Alpha Vampire on the show, has often said that red…
