supernatural the official companion season 1

The other disappointment for me was the inclusion of another “Do You Believe” piece on the supernatural beliefs of the folks on the show and another “Supernatural Reaction” about the reaction to the season by fans and in the ratings. That’s just one example, but many of the pieces just felt a little light, more like press kit puff pieces than real discussions.

No mention of this is made, and while I can appreciate wanting to keep discussions light, it’s this kind of in-depth info fans want to hear about. As a fan of the show, I know there was some tension regarding Alona Tal’s character, Jo ,and where she fit, either as a little sister type or a romantic interest for Dean, and that it eventually lead to them dropping her off the show entirely (and, of course, taking mom Ellen with her). The book has several articles with the stars and guest stars, and honestly some of them feel a little superficial.

Where things dip a little is in the additional pieces following the episode guide. This is the meat and potatoes of the book, and it’s just as solid as before. Between some episodes we get pieces going in detail on creatures or mythology from the show, such as Wraiths and Pagan Gods. Sidebars provide information about the music from the episodes and other trivia as well as some choice dialogue quotes. We get an overview of the plot, followed by some behind-the-scenes details and discussions with the creators and stars. Nicholas Knight is the pen-name of Nick Andreychuk, a seasoned fiction and non-fiction writer in the genres of fantasy and horror, contributor to the official. We then get into the episodes, and the episode guide follows the format of the previous companion exactly.
