Supernatural (Apoyo)

Una de esas series a la que me he enganchado desde el principio... y ya no es que se les vaya la olla de mala manera con toda la historia, cada vez mas, no, es que ya se va formando una bola de dimensiones epicas para estos dos cazadores que continuan con el negocio familiar. Y lo mejor de todo es cuando hacen esos episodios en los que se rien de ellos mismos...

Bueno, ya van para la decima temporada, y es toda una franquicia: comics, novelas, serie de animacion, un spinoff -si, fue cancelado, pero van a realizar otro... ah, y un juego de rol! Y naturalmente, una buena cantidad de merchandising, en el que metemos mas libros. De eso ultimo trata esta entrada... de los libros relacionados con la serie, que la analizan, la expanden, aclaran o añaden mas cosillas... bueno, todo eso. Hay un monton, solo tengo unos pocos, asi que a ver si alguien me puede ayudar a conseguir lo que falta ;)
The Supernatural Book of Monsters, Demons, Spirits, and Ghouls

Twenty-three years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a demonic supernatural force. Following the tragedy, their father, John, set out to teach his boys everything about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America . . . and how to kill it.

Fans of the blockbuster television phenomenon can rejoice! A one-of-a-kind compilation of all of Sam and Dean's demon-busting knowledge, The Supernatural Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons, and Ghouls contains illustrations and detailed descriptions that catalogue the more than two dozen otherworldly enemies that most people believe exist only in folklore, superstition, and nightmares: vampires, ghosts, revenants, reapers, and even bloody clowns. You'll find within these pages Sam and Dean's notes, observations, and memories interwoven with sections of John Winchester's invaluable journal, making this book the perfect companion to every thrilling episode — and an essential weapon in the secret war against the hidden creatures of the darkness!

Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting

My name is Bobby Singer. In twenty-four hours I’m gonna lose my memory. So here’s everything you need to know.

Monsters, demons, angels, vampires, the boogeyman under your bed: I’ve seen it, I’ve hunted it, I’ve killed it. I’m not the only hunter out here, but there aren’t as many as there used to be. Not near as many as there need to be. I’ve learned everything I can about every damned critter that walks, crawls, or flies, and I’m not gonna let that all be for nothing. I’m not going down without a fight. I’m not letting everything I’ve learned disappear. So that’s what you’re holding in your hands—everything I know. Anything that’d be useful for Sam, Dean, and the hunters that come after me.

It’s a guide to hunting...it’s a guide to me. My last will and testament. Ya idjits.

John Winchester's Journal

Sam and Dean Winchester know all the secrets their father recorded in his journal. Now you can, too.

On November 2, 1983, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a demonic supernatural force. In the wake of the tragedy, their father, John, set out to learn everything he could about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America . . . and how to kill it. In his personal journal, he not only compiled folklore, legend, and superstition about all manner of otherworldly enemies but he also recorded his experiences—hunting the creature that killed his wife even as he raised his two sons.

Part prequel, part resource guide, John Winchester's Journal finally gives fans the ultimate companion book for Supernatural. It's all here: the exorcism Sam and Dean used in "Phantom Traveler," John's notes on everything from shape-shifters to Samuel Colt, Dean's first hunt, Sam's peewee soccer team . . . and John's single-minded pursuit of a growing and deadly evil.

Fangasm
Supernatural Fangirls

Once upon a time not long ago, two responsible college professors, Lynn the psychologist and Kathy the literary scholar, fell in love with the television show Supernatural and turned their oh-so-practical lives upside down. Plunging headlong into the hidden realms of fandom, they scoured the Internet for pictures of stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki and secretly penned racy fan fiction. And then they hit the road—crisscrossing the country, racking up frequent flyer miles with alarming ease, standing in convention lines at 4 A.M.

They had white-knuckled encounters with overly zealous security guards one year and smiling invitations to the Supernatural set the next. Actors stripping in their trailers, fangirls sneaking onto film sets; drunken confessions, squeals of joy, tears of despair; wallets emptied and responsibilities left behind; intrigue and ecstasy and crushing disappointment—it’s all here.

And yet even as they reveled in their fandom, the authors were asking themselves whether it’s okay to be a fan, especially for grown women with careers and kids. “Crazystalkerchicks”—that’s what they heard from Supernatural crew members, security guards, airport immigration officials, even sometimes their fellow fans. But what Kathy and Lynn found was that most fans were very much like themselves: smart, capable women looking for something of their own that engages their brains and their libidos.

Fangasm pulls back the curtain on the secret worlds of fans and famous alike, revealing Supernatural behind the scenes and discovering just how much the cast and crew know about what the fans are up to. Anyone who’s been tempted to throw off the constraints of respectability and indulge a secret passion—or hit the road with a best friend—will want to come along.

Nunca he seguido la serie...

Lupino dijo...

Le pasa como a Expediente X: la serie empieza con el esquema "un capítulo-un caso/monstruo", pero luego siguen por el arco argumental y se les va la pinza a partir de la tercera o la cuarta temporada, no lo recuerdo bien.

Julian Day dijo...

Lupino, no compares que no hay color. Supernatural es una serie para quinceañeras insatisfechas, mientras que X-Files es otro rollo totalmente diferente.

Dorsai dijo...

Bueno, particularmente a mi me gusta la serie. Es cierto que se les ha ido la pinza, pero tiene cosas que estan bastante bien y que dan para unas cuantas partidas interesantes. Ademas, hay que añadir que incluso tienen episodios en plan coña total, que te rompen todos los esquemas... y hay tambien que tener en cuenta que es Expediente X ya tiene unos años, y refleja bastante cosas de la epoca en la que se rodo... ojo, que tambien me encanta Expediente X.

Y sobre lo de serie para quiceañeras insatisfechas... me temo que es lo que hay ultimamente, tanto en literatura como en series. Vease Crepusculo, Cronicas Vampiricas, el Circulo Secreto o Teen Wolf por no ir muy lejos, o pasarse por la seccion de libros del Corte Ingles, por juvenil, para ver la cantidad de novelas dedicadas al romanticismo sobrenatural.

Y por cierto, no se si habeis visto alguna de estas series o leido alguno de esos libros, pero os aseguro que hay algunas cosillas interesantes entre tanta hormona descontrolada :D

Julian Day dijo...

Me ha molestado la comparación para decir que generalmente es "monster of the week" pero entiendo que tiene que haber de todo para todos, hace 10 años mucha gente veía Buffy y Charmed por ser quinceañeros insatisfechos. XD

Tengo fe en que algún día los vampiros vuelvan a tener testosterona y en que los zombies dejen de estar de moda. Tampoco pido tanto.

Lupino dijo...

Lo siento, pero es que la cosa empieza así. A mí me gustan las dos series, y sé que no tienen mucho que ver, pero a nivel de desarrollo son, desde mi punto de vista, bastante parecidas.

Y sí, estoy contigo: sobran hormonas y "romanticismo sobrenatural" (con permiso uso tu término, Dorsai)y falta dar más terror al tema.
