I loved all the aspects of Meta Fiction, including the meta ones. Robbie Thompson’s script was a profound brain teaser; Jensen Ackles’ depiction of Dean’s struggle with the effects of the Mark of Cain was masterfully subtle; Jared Padalecki brought Sam’s worry over his brother and his rage at Gadreel and Metatron into his every…
This time last year, The CW executives were pretty excited about the new spinoff to their hit show “The Vampire Diaries.” They had every reason to be, the original family, aka The Mikaelsons, had a huge impact on the landscape for that show and were more than ready to venture out on their own. The…
Here’s what the CW has released for tomorrow’s episode Alex, Annie, Alexis, Ann
When I was a little girl, I couldn’t wait for bedtime—okay most of the time. No, it wasn’t because I wanted to go to sleep. It was because I knew that before that happened I’d have a bedtime story read to me by my dad. It was our bonding time—and it’s where I encountered my…
A true sign our show has made it into the mainstream, if only for one day.
“What makes a story work?” Good question. It’s one that I’m not sure I can answer at this time, and the real question is, should I have to? “Meta Fiction” was a great story, and it’s about time there was even a small amount of movement in the angel arc, but I personally found…
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.

This episode gave me some serious whiplash of the brain. From the very beginning it was made clear to us that this episode was about what makes a story. Is it the writer, or the players? Metatron has always been a sucker for a good plot and recently he’s turned into quite the control freak….
Warning: If you have not seen tonight’s episode, “Meta Fiction,” then beware spoilers ahead! Episode Summary: So I’m going to just briefly summarize the episode and then provide some thoughts below – whether you agree or not, I had a rather confused reaction to the episode and want to share that reaction with all of…
We start our run to the finish this week with Meta Fiction. It looks like a big episode. Cas reunites with Sam and Dean. Metatron and Gadreel both make a return. Here’s what we know.
A busy work schedule has made me late to the reviewing game for Supernatural’s “Mother’s Little Helper,” but I have to squeak a review in under the wire, because Adam Glass’s episode played with so many important themes. Misha Collins also made his debut as a Supernatural director, making great use of light and shadow…
