An Interview With Sera Gamble, Supernatural Producer and Writer, Part One

Alice Jester — Wed, 7 Jan 2009 17:51:01 EST

Sera talks about the introduction of angels to the mythology, Castiel, Dean�s faith issues, and Sam and Ruby's strange relationship.
A seven-week hiatus can be rather maddening. Given Supernatural’s explosive season four and the mind-boggling material that’s been presented for ten episodes, this long time to reflect has left me with more questions than answers. I’m sure I’m not alone.Thankfully Sera Gamble, supervising producer and writer for...

Supernatural: Top Ten Sam and Dean Moments

Alice Jester — Tue, 6 Jan 2009 07:13:54 EST

My completely subjective take on the Top Ten Winchester Brother Moments.
In between the mass insanity known as my family's holiday rituals, the hubby and I managed to filter through some Supernatural DVDs to help our withdrawal symptoms over this long hiatus. During that process, my warped brain threw together an arbitrary and subjective list of the top ten Winchester brother moments. In generating this list,...

Supernatural Holidays: "A Ghostfacers Christmas"

Alice Jester — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 13:46:53 EST

The Ghostfacers are sharing their stocking stuffers just for you, and my thoughts on an incredible year.
I got a Christmas present in my inbox last night, courtesy of the folks at Supernatural. Enjoy a very heartwarming "A Ghostfacers Christmas."I’ll be back first thing after the New Year, refreshed and ready to get us all excited about the January 15th return of our show. I have a great interview with Sera Gamble to share, plus a look back at...

Supernatural: Special January Preview In Time For The Holidays

Alice Jester — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 07:44:12 EST

A holiday preview clip from the editing crew. Plus, for season four complainers everywhere, I review the season one disaster, "Bugs."
I was going to take this month off but thanks to Warner Brothers, I have a clip to share. It's a holiday greeting from the editing crew at Supernatural -- a preview of what's to come in January. It's nothing too spoilery; just enough to spark interest in between getting drunk at the holiday party (assuming your company didn't cut theirs this...

TV Review: Supernatural - "Heaven and Hell"

Alice Jester — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 07:27:35 EST

Angels and demons aren't that different after all, grace somehow exists in Kentucky, and Misha Collins rocks.
Usually after an episode I’m immediately on the fan boards sharing my initial reactions. I then spend time and more posts trying to debunk what complainers and dissenters have to say, asking people in general to look deeper than what was presented. I did none of that after watching “Heaven and Hell.” After watching, I was left...

Supernatural: "Heaven and Hell" Preview and News

Alice Jester — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:40:53 EST

Three very intense clips for Thursday's episode, more con news, and we want that People's Choice award.
You guys sick of me yet? I'll tell ya, it's been an intense week of fandom activity. Anyway, there are three clips for this week’s episode, “Heaven and Hell”. Normally when I get these, they are light teasers. I’m warning you right here, clips #1 and #3 are NOT light. They’re rather intense. They’ll...

TV Review: Supernatural - "I Know What You Did Last Summer"

Alice Jester — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:41:47 EST

I loved this episode -- Sam hits rock bottom and it's better with a demon.
Once upon a time, before there was an exciting fan convention in Chicago that completely dominated some of our lives, a somewhat epic and mind-boggling Supernatural episode aired. One that people in New York and New Jersey as well as other places (Mississippi?) couldn’t see until Saturday thanks to the NFL. As I went back to write the review,...

"Salute To Supernatural" Con Report, Day Three: My Fan Girl Moment

Alice Jester — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:53:21 EST

Me, the biggest skeptic of all, fell for the fan girl experience.
I didn’t get it… at first.I’ve never been what you call a “fan girl” in the true sense. I’ve never gotten excited over the whole celebrity thing. The way I see it, they’re normal people doing jobs like you or me. I haven’t met a lot of celebrities in my lifetime but when I have, I’ve treated...

"Salute To Supernatural" Con Report, Day Two

Alice Jester — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:44:06 EST

Day two. Elevator mishaps and bad fan questions made for a unique day.
Day two got right back down to business. Of course that was after a small amount of excitement at the hotel involving slow service in the restaurant and a broken elevator. It’s amazing how two minor little things can just throw off a morning for people, but it did, big time. I’ll have to admit, the staff here at the Wyndam...

"Salute To Supernatural" Con Report, Day One

Alice Jester — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 23:02:36 EST

My first day solidified my believe that these are the greatest fans in the world.
Here is the much anticipated day one report from the “Salute to Supernatural” convention in Chicago. I must say, so far it’s been quite an event and it’s only getting started.First DayThis was a surreal experience from the word go. The day started by me getting up at 4:30 am. Considering that I'm a night owl who rarely...
