As I was standing at the bus stop today after class waiting to go to work, I watched a man stop mid conversation and cross a line of traffic to shake a soldier's hand on the other side of the street. Without realizing it, I was smiling.

Oh Captain, My Captain

Season Six Ship Sets Sail

Is Kripke still our Captain

 There is a big fluster amongst fans: Is Kripke still sailing this Supernatural ship? Well we haven't received any confirmation yet, but the word around the ship yard is that our Skipper is stepping down and handing the wheel over to Executive Producer Sera Gamble who has been with this ship since it set sail in 2005.

Now, now my distressed little sailors let's all keep our hats on. Our Captain may be stepping down, but he's not stepping off.  A little insight from our friend Ausiello over at EW says that even though our once proud Captain has stepped aside he will still be an acting Lieutenant on this rig and have a continually active role in the making of Supernatural, just not nearly as big as before.

According to a article posted on Variety.com back in June of 08 Kirpke signed an exclusive 'pact' under which he would continue to develop projects for Warner Bros. which may have some part in Kirpke's stepping down, as mentioned by Ausiello, "Kripke is said to be finalizing a new deal with Warner Bros. that will feature a big development component. In other words, his diminished role on Supernatural will free him up to create another awesome show."

What does the future hold for our Creator, Captain and over all Master of all things Supernatural? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

My Supernatural Soundtrack Cont'd

My Supernatural Soundtrack

Still Here

Now you have to understand, I am an ex-Sam-girl. So a lot of time I still lean heavily towards Sam so you'll have to forgive me when I occasionally do a Sam heavy post. It's kind of like being a junky. When I watch a Sam Heavy episode I'm pretty under the influence, haha.

This next song, and probably the one after, will be songs that remind me of Sam. And you may read the lyrics and think "Hey! This is clearly more like Dean!" then let me know. We will discuss. Or maybe you want to share a song that you feel may remind you of Sam. or Dean. Or Supernatural in general. I'm all ears.

Some of these don't scream Supernatural but it's definitely the kind of music that Sam would listen too.

================
If you've ever seen the movie Treasure Planet you may recognize this song. It's Jim's Theme "I'm Still Here" and every time I hear it I think of Sam even when SPN isn't or hasn't been on my mind.

"I'm Still Here(Jim's Theme)" - John Rzeznik

I am a question to the world,

Not an answer to be heard.

All a moment that's held in your arms.

And what do you think you'd ever say?

I won't listen anyway…

You don't know me,

And I’ll never be what you want me to be.

And what do you think you'd understand?

I'm a boy, no, I'm a man..

You can take me and throw me away.

And how can you learn what's never shown?

Yeah, you stand here on your own.

They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.

And I want a moment to be real,

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can the world want me to change,

They’re the ones that stay the same.

The don’t know me,

'Cause I’m not here.

And you see the things they never see

All you wanted, I could be

Now you know me, and I'm not afraid

And I wanna tell you who I am

Can you help me be a man?

They can't break me

As long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real,

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can the world want me to change,

They’re the ones that stay the same.

They can’t see me,

But I’m still here.

They can’t tell me who to be,

‘Cause I’m not what they see.

And the world is still sleepin’,

While I keep on dreamin’ for me.

And their words are just whispers

And lies that I’ll never believe.

And I want a moment to be real,

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can they say I never change

They’re the ones that stay the same.

I’m the one now,

‘Cause I’m still here.

I’m the one,

‘Cause I’m still here.

I’m still here.

I’m still here.

I’m still here. 

==================

There are two parts in particular that make me think of Sam in this song

And what do you think you'd ever say
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want
Me to be

If this isn't a perfect description of Sam and John's relationship I don't know what is. John wants Sam to be this strong hunter, to join the 'family business', or that's the way John is portrayed. He wants Sam to be with the family.

------

And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

Isn't this really all Sam wants? He wants to belong somewhere. All his life he wants to be normal. He wants to have friends. He doesn't want to be the freak or the new kid anymore. He just wants to belong. This part, it just screams Sam every time I hear it.

---------

I think the song is pretty self explanatory, or maybe that's just me. But I definitely get the feeling of Sam from this song.

A Skeptic Fan

A Skeptic Fan

Hmm

Now that the Sixth Season has been confirmed by The CW and the parties are in full swing, I have to voice a few doubts and concerns regarding a sixth season. Kripke has worked on a five year plan, ending the series with the fifth season, a big bang, the Apocalypse. This was the BIG FINALE. So if he's been working on this five year plan, what could he possibly have in store for a sixth season, for anything that could top the finale of the fifth or at least not hurt the integrity of the story that's already been told? Right off the bat we know that neither Sam or Dean are going to die in the fifth season finale, not anymore anyway if there is a sixth season, and even if they do, they won't remain dead for too long. Kripke has already stated in an interview that there is no Supernatural without Sam and Dean. They're the driving force, and if there are no Winchesters, there is no Supernatural. So, unless Kripke is looking at something like 'The Days of Our After-Lives' I don't think we'll be seeing any lasting deaths of The Brothers Winchester.

According to an interview from BuddyTV with Sera Gamble, Ben Edlund and Exec-Producer Robert Singer, they're looking to turn this car around and head for more simpler times after this Apocalyptic journey is over. They want to get back to what the story has always been about, and that is, without a doubt, Sam and Dean. Well good news to everyone who's missed that weekly monster hunt with the "Who's that monster!", but the question that falls for all those who have followed the storyline is, what is the driving force?

Despite the easy going nature of the first season when compared to the fifth, there was always a driving force, a storyline underneath all that monster business, and that was to find John. That was the hook from the first episode, finding John. Where's John? So when the final boss is beaten what is left in terms of a storyline for the boys? How are you going to make this 'monster of the week' idea work? How are you going to make anything work without hurting the existing storyline and the integrity of it?

I feel that going on would make the intensity of the fifth season rather anti-climactic. You have this intense rising action, a dramatic climax, but then you deviate into a whole new storyline. They're saying that they best way is to start with a new story, but the last story was five years in the making. It was THEE story. I think that the idea of getting back to basics and focus on the boys is a great idea, but I can't see how it could be done without hurting the previous seasons, the previous story. It's not impossibly to make a sixth season, I just think it's impossible to do it without taking away from everything before it.

I love the boys and I love Supernatural and it would be great to see it go on, but when you want to consider the story it's telling, the story that was told, do you really think it can go on? I don't. And I would've had no problem with this being the end because it was a fantastic story. It was dramatic and funny and had all the right balance of elements and it looked, for a while, like it was building to a great ending. But now I'm not seeing how to bring an actual ending with a sixth season. I have this doubt growing in my gut that says this is going to become something ugly.

A Dog's Life Rescue: Mika

A Dog's Life Rescue
BISSELL Vacuum MVP Contest: Can you help Mika Win?

A Dog's Life Rescue took in Mika when she was just 2 weeks old. Mika was paralyzed from the waist down the vets didn't think she would survive. But this little girl was fighting so we fought with her and every day she got stronger and bigger. Before we knew it, this amazing little girl was hopping around the house and racing around the dog parks in her cart. We loved and cared for Mika for 13 months until we were contacted by an amazing woman, Ann, who adopted Mika!

One of the stars of the hit CW show Supernatural, joins A Dog's Life Rescue to help make a difference in the lives of the thousands of homeless animals in Los Angeles.
Jared is pictured here with Mika, one of the group's special rescued dogs. Mika was found in an alley at just two weeks of age by a young man walking home from school. The boy's mom contacted A Dog's Life Rescue for help because Mika is a special needs puppy. Mika is paralyzed from the waist down. Mika has no idea she is different from other dogs. She gets around on her own and is so full of life and love. She is absolutely inspiring.
