"Time changes, but do we have to change with it, Reese?" - Charlie Crews
It was four years ago to this day when Supernatural premiered on the WB, and not only became the last surviving series of the WB and UPN merger that's now the CW, but changed my life in alot of ways: My writing style, my world view, and even some of the ways I that I've come to deal with my own issues.
It's funny how a creation meant for pure entertainment can come to mean so much to a person an their life. That's the beauty of writing, I guess, and that's why I love doing it more than anything else. Because, as people, we have the potential to learn of and observe the best and worst parts of ourselves through outlets such as television shows, books, films and even video games. All of which I consider true works of art.
So go ahead and call me a fanatic, but just know that it was a TV show that was there for me at a time when nobody else was.
On this day and in this moment I just wanted to take a look back at a series that's come to mean much more to me than a superior program featured on an inferior network.
And in plenty of ways, my attachment to the series is at such a special place because in tons of ways, I've grown with it. Matured, in a sense, to the point where all the things that haven't yet killed me, have in fact made me stronger and wiser at once.
It's been a long process getting to the point where I, along with Supernatural, have become something bigger than our previous selves ever were. I guess you can say that, I see myself in a show that I grew alongside with in some dark times and as a result the series is a reflection on me as well.
Special thanks to Eric Kripke for creating this masterpiece in college, and for sharing it with us years later!
And to think, it was four years ago when I sat in front of my television set at 9PM, and turned the channel to the WB. And that's when it all began....
