Before diving back into this, I again would like to issue a reminder. Please, please, please! I beg, plead, ask and request, no attacks on the actresses. This is a sensitive subject to the fandom in general, I realize that. But this is a look at the demon Ruby, not at the women who…
No Sympathy for a Devil Part I Or A Closer Look at Ruby So I tend to think about Supernatural when I should be thinking about, and writing about, other things. Such as the four final papers that are coming due for Grad school. This week. But what the hey right? This is Supernatural….
In Memory of Thursday’s Angel Dearest Castiel, You came into our lives unexpectedly with flash and promise… You were threatening… You were naive…. You rebelled…. You were clever…. You were innovative… You were amusing…. You were brave… You tried a hand a being human…. You were sad…. You went a little evil (but…
The Winchester Family Business Short Attention Span Theater proudly presents a production a long time in the making. Watch Sam and Dean have fun with each other using their long history of nicknames. I’m issuing a major laughter alert warning here. Please keep all liquids away from the keyboard. {loadposition slideshow12}
Impact, Creativity, Art and Community There aren’t many shows out there that really, truly impact our lives. Certainly not at the individual level, anyways. Supernatural has always been a show that has enriched my life: that sounds corny, I know, but bear with me. Since Supernatural has come into my life I have met a…
“The shot heard around the world”. Historians hear the phrase and inevitably point to the bullet which killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, and triggered the start of World War One. Or, they start singing Ralph Waldo Emerson’s 1837 Concord Hymn, about the start of the American Revolution. “Here once the embattled farmers stood, And…
A few weeks ago I put out the question, “Is Sam Winchester Really Okay?” along with a little analysis that leaned towards the conclusion that while a lot of evidence isn’t there, he probably is due for an upcoming meltdown. The results were overwhelming, and often explosive. Opinions were quite scattered. So how could I not resist…
The concept of an academy has a long history in Western Civilization, dating all the way back to Plato. You all know Plato, right? For those unfamiliar with the second most important Greek philosopher of all time (Aristotle being the first, naturally – that’s a pun, but ignore my geekiness), then a quick history…
This Week in Supernatural History – Episode Ten As witnessed in the most recent episode of Supernatural, episode ten traditionally leaves us feeling emotionally drained and/or shocked and/or grieving; or all of the above. So let’s take a look back at those not-so-fuzzy but pivotal moments from our beloved show: 2005: “Dad?” 2006: “Before Dad…
Truth be told, I avoided writing this review for several days. It’s been too tough. There’s so much pain, so much heartbreak, and it’s so hard to see a character I’ve gotten to know and love through these years meet such an end, whether it be final or not. I needed time to grieve, to…
Fighting That Step into Chaos No, I’m not going to be ok without Bobby. Yes, he has done enough but I don’t care, I need Bobby. This came as a rather surprising revelation. I hadn’t known how much he meant, how much he means. I have been away from fandom for a while….
