Dear Ben Edlund, Thank you. Thanks for being a writer on Supernatural for so many seasons. It’s bittersweet to know that you’ll be leaving to go work on Revolution, but I thought I’d let you know just how much your episodes of Supernatural mean to me.
I lied about my next cupcake. I know. I shall go hang my head in shame for deceiving all of you so. I said that I would make the “Alpha Vampire’s Delight” next, but I was so inspired by love2boys’ suggestion of Oreo cookie cupcakes that I went with it. So, without further adieu,…
Strip away the falling angels, the demons, and the Demon Trials and we are left with a story about seeking redemption. It is this aspect that makes Supernatural so utterly gripping and powerful each episode—and “Sacrifice” is no different. It’s all about forgiveness. It can be hard won or given freely. Sometimes its both….
“What’s the line? “Saving people, hunting things. The family business.” Well I think, the people you save, they’re how you justify your pathetic little lives. The alcoholism, the collateral damage, the pain you’ve caused… The one thing that allows you to sleep at night – the one thing is knowing these folks are out there….
Metafiction. This seems to be Supernatural’s wheelhouse, especially in its own mythology episodes, and “The Great Escapist” is no different. The show often refers to its own skeleton, its existence as story, and that we are indeed watching a show—all the while keeping us engaged and moved by the story transpiring in front of us….
There is an old Native American proverb about our inner wolves. One wolf is full of our worst feelings: envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. That wolf also represents our fear. The other wolf is our best feelings: joy, peace, love, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy,…
I enjoyed baking up a Supernatural inspired cupcake for the first installment of Supernatural <lsaker@att.net>Cupcake Wars that I couldn’t wait to try a second. So I started thinking of flavors and themes to match the show. My first not just represented the show, but fit Dean in the form of “Freaking Worth It” Apple Pie Cupcakes….
Whenever I need a great laugh I often find myself turning towards the Supernatural Gag Reels. They always make me feel better and giggle with glee. There are so many fantastic moments in them, but I thought I’d narrow them down to just twelve. Feel free to add any that you really enjoyed. I’d like…
“I got cake. It’s close enough, right? †Sam to Dean “The Girl Next Door†When I’m not watching Supernatural or getting caught up on my DVR, I sometimes watch Food Network. They have a show titled Cupcake Wars where they pit four cupcake bakers against one another surrounding a major theme. Which ever…
One thing Supernatural does best is tug on multiple threads in its story, weaving them together so that each one is essential to the whole. The layers that this provides allows for deep insight into the story and its characters. Each layer adds another texture, another emotion, another clue as to what is being told….
Hunting has a premise that makes it seem rather simple: supernatural creatures killing humans must be stopped. In theory it’s easy to understand and do. In practice, however, it becomes apparent that there is much more to it than that. It’s dangerous, deadly, and often much more complex underneath the surface. A job may not…
Trust has always played a major role in Supernatural. Sam and Dean’s world is perilous and dangerous. There are threats lurking around every corner, and they must be on high alert at all times. Yet, Sam and Dean need to find those they can trust. But who? In “Goodbye Stranger,” the brothers have to choose…
