Despite the name of Walker’s 8th episode, “Fine is a Four Letter Word”, the more obvious theme was secrets, and the lies people tell to protect secrets. The tornado that ripped through Austin was an apt metaphor for the swirling lies that ripped apart everyone’s lives without much warning. Confusion, destruction and pain were the inevitable…
Death is a frequent fate for many recurring and one-time characters on Supernatural. In fact, characters die so often that death is often only temporary, with resurrection and a second (third, fourth, fifth) chance at life almost an expected aftermath of even the most dramatic death scenes. Sam has died seven times, according to Supernatural…
The Morning After “Bar None”, the sixth installment in Walker’s first season, continued the series’ positive trend of each episode improving over the last. Focusing primarily on character exploration and family dynamics, the duo writing team of Casey Fisher & Paula Sabbaga delivered a story with nuanced emotions and multi-layered intrigue. The last few minutes of…
Lots and lots of Sam and Dean! That’s the best part of Keith R.A. DeCandido’s Supernatural tie-in novel, Nevermore. It has other things going for it as well, which I’ll get into later, but my number one criteria for enjoying a Supernatural story is spending more time with the Winchester brothers than with any other…
Now that Supernatural is in its longest hiatus ever, and the cast has moved on to new projects (for now), what can Supernatural fans do to fill that burning desire for more Sam and Dean, more Castiel and Jack – more hunting adventures with whomever branded Supernatural into your hearts for all time?

That’s more like it! Walker has definitely taken a “drive” in the right direction, correcting several of the start-up bumps in the road that it experienced in its first two episodes. If you’ve just found Jared Padalecki’s new series on The CW, my first impressions of the show were overall very positive, but did note…

Walker’s premiere episode “Pilot” debuted Thursday, January 21, with the follow up story, “Back in the Saddle” airing last night. What do you think of it so far? Texas 5-Point-Star…
As part of Jared’s seemingly endless media blitz to promote his new show Walker, he made a quick stop to chat with the hosts of Good Morning America – What You Need to Know on the afternoon of Wednesday, Jan 27th. They began their chat by asking Jared about working with his wife Genevieve, first on Supernatural…
What makes the Supernatural fandom different than other fandoms?What’s behind the SPNFamily’s generous and enthusiastic support of charitable causes?What will happen to the SPNFamily now that Supernatural is over? These are a few of the questions tackled by a panel of Supernatural fans who double as science fiction/fantasy authors, editors and university lecturers!
It is now three weeks since the Supernatural series finale “Carry On” aired. If you read my “Threads” review of the finale, you know that I think it is a masterpiece of artistic narration. Everyone involved with its creation deserves to be immensely proud of their heartfelt gift to the SPNFamily. Predictably, with so much…
Header – WFB Banner – 2009 WFB Banner – 2011 Now that Supernatural has ended its first run on television (just putting that out in the universe), we all find ourselves looking back at its 15 years of history. What was it like when the show first started in 2005? Before conventions, or social media,…
The Morning After That’s the last time I’ll write those words about Supernatural. The Morning After. The morning after a new episode of Supernatural has aired.
