True confession: I was a hardcore Dean Girl until Season Eight, when Jared Padalecki completely converted me. I even made a t-shirt to prove it.

When I met Jared Padalecki at the Salute to Supernatural Burbank Convention last November, I wore that shirt. Jared seemed truly pleased. He high-fived me and commented about how great it was, thanking me and, I’d like to think, giving me an extra huge hug. (To be fair, that last part may just be my wishful thinking. Everyone says that Jared is an embracer extraordinaire.) During the morning Gold Panel, I was fortunate enough to be the last person chosen by Jared to ask a question. Before I asked about how hard he teased Misha about his recent shirtless scene, I got an incredible opportunity: I was able to tell him how in Seasons Eight and Nine he was doing the best work he’d ever done and how it was a thrill to watch. “Thank you,” he said. “I’m glad I picked you!” he added with a laugh.  In case it isn’t clear, I’m deeply glad I picked him, too.… Read More

Many of you recent fans of  the show are in the same place now, that I was in 6 months ago, newly discovering one of the best television shows on air. I’m talking of course, about Supernatural. It’s breathtaking how fast Show has woven itself into every fiber of my being. I frequently ask myself how I could have missed it and not watched for the past 8 – going on 9 years that the show has been on. You, new fan, are now deep in the throes of trying to catch up, searching online for anywhere you can find all the episodes, including the current season. I know just how you feel.

Waaaay back in July of 2013 – okay, last summer – my kids finally convinced me that I HAD to watch this new show they had started watching just a few months earlier. Only the show wasn’t new at all – there were already 8 seasons of it, with another one on the way.  I resisted for quite a while, but the kids were absorbed by it, watching it on a constant and continual basis.… Read More

Tuesday’s episode was gut-wrenching to say the least. Watching how cold the brothers’ interactions were and how painfully obvious it was that Dean wasn’t taking it so well was hard for this fangirl to watch. When we first see them talk, it’s involving a new case Dean has found after a sleepless night of research. Sam checks in with Dean to make sure he’s really okay with what they discussed during last week’s episode (being hunters and not brothers). Dean plays it off as if it’s nothing all while holding his drink of choice, whiskey. We’re lead to believe that this is taking place in the morning with coffee, cereal, and Sam asking about Dean’s sleep, so it’s that much more obvious that contrary to what he says, Dean is drinking his breakfast and therefore not doing well emotionally. As we’ve seen in previous seasons, drinking is how Dean copes with depression and loss. We already are off to an emotionally rocky start. Seeing Sam so matter-of-fact and seemingly unaware of Dean’s drinking reminds me of “soulless Sam.” Does he notice the glass of whiskey and non-sleep his “co-hunter” is getting?… Read More
