Good hello guys. I have come today to, as it's become a habit lately, to geek out. When my mother convinced my father to pay Netflix she didn't know what she was creating. Now my siblings and I live with our eyes glued on the TV. My mom has seriously just started to realize that when I become interested in something I become obsessed. *cough* anime, book series, Tumblr, TV shows, movies, anything illuminated by the sun *cough* This time it's a fairly old show that broadcast in 2005.
I have been completely hooked on Supernatural.
Supernatural aired September 13, 2005 on The WB, so I'm literally 10 years late on realizing how amazing this show is. The show is basically about two brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester, who hunt demons, monsters, ghosts, and any other supernatural beings in the world. (duh) I had originally heard about this show when it actually aired but I was 9 then so I had better things to do like practice my flute and go make myself look like a potato while playing house in my back yard.
I always had an interest in the show as I got older but I never willed myself to watch it. Like I said, I had better things to do. Now however, the first summer where I literally had almost nothing to do, I had enough time and boredom to watch. Best decision ever.
I'm only on Season 3 so it's been really difficult not to go on Tumblr and Google to look up pictures because there are spoilers EVERYWHERE. Especially now that Season 9 is coming out. Here I am on Season 3. I'm actually pretty excited that I need 6 more seasons because that means I'm not going to be left heartbroken mid season.
I really enjoy this show because how how much of a bond Sam and Dean have. Both brothers are willing to trade in anything, including their soul, and die for one another because that is how much they love each other. I really like this factor of the show because the brothers are faced daily with evil and always have that chance of death hanging over their head. I mean yeah it's a life of adventure but at what risk? The boys that this bond because of their unnatural upbringing. I mean, if your mother was killed by a demon and you father had dedicated his life to hunting the demon who killed his wife, you'd probably bond to the only other person who's going through the same thing too.
Another aspect that I really enjoy about the show is that all the demons and monsters they face are actually true in some culture or folklore. The Brothers Grimm stories, Genies, Werewolves, Vampires, Ghosts, Spirits, you name it. It's really interesting how the show brings light and represents these monsters. I mean for example, lets take the very hated and misjudged Twilight. Vampires in Twilight are sparkly, super fast and strong. Vampires in Supernatural usually are party animals that drink liquor and kidnap people, for you know, lunch. Werewolves in Twilight change when they get angry or vampires are around. Werewolves in Supernatural change when it's the full moon and go insane. Different representation, same lore.
I will now continue to geek out until I finish Supernatural. Because I mean, I don't start school next week or anything. Psssh no. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a nice day.
