From Mia’s Desk: March 14th, 2016

From Mia’s Desk will post the second week of each month and discuss something of interest to Mia, which she hopes others will find interesting too! It may focus on opinion pieces, literature (historical and current), or even movies–because a good story is a good story.

Supernatural

So, I’m about a decade late to the party, but I finally started watching Supernatural. Although, I’m not sure that “watching” really covers it. I’ve been Netflix binging it whenever I can. And when I ran out of Netflix, I found the current playing season on Amazon and now I’ve run out. I’m crushed!

Anyways… So, yeah, this show has definitely given my Adelheid mojo a boost. Aside from the obvious in that they deal with the supernatural–vampires, werewolves, and witches…oh my!–it also has a sense of humor that really reminds me of my own that I put into the Adelheid series.

Also, they’re hunters, so I definitely get a Dakota vibe. Honestly, watching it, it seems to me that Dean (I’m Team Dean all the way) is basically my Dakota, just more biologically male and less shape-shifty…but otherwise, the issues of responsibility, older sibling deal/desperate loyalty to family, the snark, the aggression…

The show also doesn’t take itself too seriously oftentimes. It has a way with arcs that I’m envious of, and can end a season like no show I’ve ever seen. Lots of fun, lots of snark, and lots of supernatural beasties. I may have been late to the party, but I’m glad I’m here.

So if you like Adelheid, I totally recommend this show. I will definitely be a fan from here on out, and will happy let it help get me in the right mindset to write my little supernatural world!
