Dog Dean Afternoon

 Good Afternoon Hunters! I have a fun blog for you this week with a funny episode in the Supernatural series: Dog Dean Afternoon. This episode puts a whole new spin on the idea of a man's best friend. In this episode, Sam and Dean are investigating the death of a taxidermist, and as it turns out, it's the dog of the first victim who is the only witness to both crimes. Sam and Dean investigate the case, and while they didn't know yet what kind of monster they were dealing with, they decided to see if they can somehow communicate with the dog, Colonel. Sam brews a potion, and Dean drinks it. The spell is supposed to make it so they can hear the dog's thoughts through a mind meld. Skeptical at first, Dean tries to talk to the dog and hear its thoughts, but nothing happens.  But after a minute, Dean finds he can understand the dog's speech and the speech of every animal around them. The funny bit is that Dean also starts to take on dog-like tendencies like scratching, p...

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...

Bobby Singer

Evening Hunters, For this week's blog, I will introduce a special character in the Supernatural series: Bobby Singer. I've mentioned Bobby in a past post or two, and he is notable because he is one side character that reappears multiple times throughout the series consistently. Bobby is a veteran hunter that meets John Winchester (Sam and Deans's dad) and becomes a second father figure/ confidant to the Winchester brothers throughout the series. To give context, Bobby became a hunter after he killed his wife, who was possessed by a demon. After this instance, he gets into hunting and does the job for many years before stepping away from the field and passing on cases to other hunters. He's an interesting character because he's a veteran hunter and information center for all things hunting. For cases, he helps research various supernatural beings, identifying them and what will kill them. He has several phones in his home for various aliases he has in place (FBI, CIA...

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...
