Charlie Bradbury

 Afternoon Hunters,

In this week's blog, we will be discussing a character in Supernatural named Charlie Bradbury.

We meet Charlie in Season 7, Episode 20: The Girl with The Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo.

Charlie is a red headed woman in her 20s who loves science fiction and fantasy everything who while working a typical office job doubles as a gifted computer hacker. Sam and Dean meet her at one of Dick Roman's (season 7 Villian, Creature: Leviathan) corporate offices when they are tracking down a encrypted hard drive made by another hunter. This drive has crucial secret hunter knowledge that if the Leviathans got a look at the information things would not be good.

Charlie helps the boys out and gets the drive back and also hacks into Dick Romans communications so they can figure out what his plans are and what his movements are at that current moment.

 There is a fight after Charlie gets the information and Charlie's arm get's broken but thankfully the Winchesters were closeby and got her out the building before things got too bad.

At the end of the episode we see Charlie leave the boys to get on a bus to leave town, change her name, and disappear. Not a whole lot is said about her past but this wasn't the first time she had changed alias and began anew. 

Later on the boys run into Charlie again for another case and after helping them she turns from hacker to part time hunter. Dean doesn't approve of her hunting alone since the job is so dangerous but after working with her more he sees that she's able to hold her own.

The significant thing about Charlie is that while she isn't around much or for very long (she gets killed in season 10) she brings a light and humanity to the Winchester brothers that they hadn't had in a long time.

A big theme on this show is that "Family doesn't end in blood." A family found is just as special as a family you were born into and Charlie becomes the little sister they never had. They hunt together, goof around, tease, and torment one another like any other family.

To the hunters reading this, is there anyone in your life who you consider a found family/ family member? What do they mean to you?

The Men of Letters Bunker

 Happy Sunday, Hunters! This week's blog will discuss a large turning point in Supernatural, one of my favorites in the series. So up until this point, we have talked about hunting, monsters, weapons, etc., the whole nine about what the Winchester brothers mainly do throughout this show, but one thing I haven't touched on is how widespread the hunting network is. In season 7/8, Sam and Dean run across the knowledge of a society called the Men of Letters.  The Men of Letters were a society active in the 1940s/1950s that dealt with mysteries that are not easily explainable to men. AKA a higher order of monster hunters who think they are better than actual hunters. Only a few hunters were trusted to know about the Men of Letters for security reasons. The boys find out about this society through their paternal grandfather (Henry Winchester), who used a spell to travel through time and ended up in their present-day 2013 to escape a demon called Abaddon, who is a Knight of Hell (a s...

About The Cursed Rabbits Foot

Afternoon Hunters, One of my favorite episodes of season three of Supernatural, the episode is called "Bad Day at Black Rock." In this episode, the Winchester brothers find out that somebody broke into their father's storage locker, so they go to investigate, and they find, among odds and ends, that one box is missing off the shelf. We later found out that a group of thieves hired by a buyer had taken the box. Just as curiosity gets the best of them and they see what's inside the box, Sam and Dean Track them down and take back the property. It turns out to be a genuine rabbit's foot inside the box. During the scuffle to get it back, Sam gets the foot, and suddenly several lucky moves happen simultaneously in their favor. They win the fight and walk away, and luck seems to rain down on Sam as he has possession of the rabbit's foot. Although they find out later that the rabbit's foot is a cursed object, it'll bring the owner luck for a time, but the mome...

Garth

 Good evening Hunters, This week we will be discussing a slightly different character in the supernatural verse: Garth. Garth is one of the funnier characters in the show because he's not the standard hunter type that we have seen/discussed up to this point. In comparison to Sam and Dean, Garth appears like the quirky, nerdy younger brother. Garth is short and very thin in comparison to the boys, who are tall and broad-shouldered. He may not look like much, but Garth is very knowledgeable, scrappy, and brings a positive attitude to hunting. When Dean meets Garth he gives him the cold shoulder because he thinks he doesn't take the job seriously and that he is a dead weight on the case. But Garth shows Dean his worth and that there are different ways to approach hunting than just a bruting attitude who uses force to kill monsters. Garth shows the boys that brain power in hunting is just as important as strength and striking first. He also teaches them to lighten up and lean on ea...
