Supernatural 8.11 Photos: Sam, Dean and Charlie Go Medieval
Supernatural is taking on the popular world of LARPing in an upcoming episode that finds Felicia Day returning as hacker and girl geek Charlie.
Day first appeared in season 7 when Sam and Dean called on her to help them thwart a plan by Dick Roman. After tangling with the Leviathans, Charlie went on the run and started a new life. Next week, Sam and Dean will be investigating the suspicious deaths of two LARPers who are playing a live action game called Moondoor. There they come across Charlie, who happens to be acting as the Queen of Moondoor.
The deaths lead them to a fairy who has been tasked with hurting people. Can the Winchesters and Charlie find her master in order to stop her?
This episode looks like a lot of fun, much in the same vein of episodes like "Monster Movie", "Time After Time" or "Frontierland". And there’s Dean decked out in medieval garb! Dean in costume is never a bad thing.

Someone please tell me when in the whole series did Dean become such a whimp. I mean you would think Hell and recently Purgatory would toughen him up so bad that he wouldnt dress up like an idiot for this episode. Dean, you didnt wanna dress up in a suit in season 1 but you would dress up as a knight? When did you lose your nuts and started becoming a little bitch. I guess the marines is worst than hell and purgatory seeing as John Winchester never had to do this and kept his game up. Screw this show. I cant belive it came down to this.
What show have you been watching? Dean’s always been a bit of a closet geek, it doesn’t make him less manly it’s just an endearing part of the character. He might not like wearing stuffy suits and he’s more at home in plaid/leather/denim but he’s always geeked out over TV shows/films and trivia (Changing Channels, Frontierland, Time after Time, Hollywood Babylon) It’s probably his only form of escapism. Plus he’s no doubt undercover and trying to blend in to get the job done and gain people’s trust.
I find it funny that you listed all the episodes where I did not like him in. I hope youre a girl cause if youre a guy who isnt seeing my point of view in this, Id feel confused if I was you. I hate that they involve the fans a little too much in this show. It went from being Great to Okay because of that particular flaw. The majority of fans for this show are female and everyone knows why. They cant see past the guys exterior to realize theyre ruining what was a great show. I started watching this when it came out so I was about 16. Dean was like a roll model for me, Might sound cheesy but I learned many great lessons from him and John. Better yet the show in general. But now its gone so down hill, its completely nausiating how the showrunners are being too much of a bitch that they cant go on doing what THEY want to see, not what Fans want to see. If fans dont like it then the show can end and ill be happy. i rather see it die with pride then die while being a bitch show.
I dont understand why the people who work for supernatural, cant realise that they still have male viewers. Im posative that if they go towards a straight line instead of leaning towards more of the female audience, Females would STILL watch it. No one can argue with me cause Im right. Im not being arrogant, this show is just complete trash now. But I still watch it for thge few good episodes it has that forshadows past episodes and guest appearances from old episodes. Not Like this trash Charlie. She was in one episode, I dont want to see her again. Id rather see old members. The new grandfather episode seems interesting but again im sure itll be a disappointment seeing as they use these episodes to screw with the story line or hype up the episode just so it could be a giant let down.
I’m sad to see that, according to the promo pictures, it seem like it’s only Dean who gets to dress up. It would’ve been fun to see both of them doing this LARP thing. Is it so hard to write somewhat equally for both characters?
Sam gets A LOT more story focus overall. Samelia is ongoing and it’s already had more screentime than Dean’s purgatory storyline which is the stronger of the two storylines. It would be nice if they made the characters equal in that respect rather than fight over who gets to dress up.
Purgatory has taken up more time than Amelia. I want Sam to dress up too.
I think Jared and Jensen are tired of this show and dont even like where its headed. They make the best out of it because theyre running on contracts and because they havnt made much of a name for themselves in the film industry cause theyve been stuck with supernatural. This show is what brings home the bread. But I guarantee all the shit they say in interviews and conventions about them liking where the show is headed is loads of bull. I can see past that bull shit exterior. Theyre not as happy as they want to be. If I was them I wouldnt be. I would want to move on and be recognized in the film industry.
Adam, I think it’s wrong to assume that the two stars don’t like the show. I admit that it’s possible they haven’t liked individual storylines, but they are not “stuck” with Supernatural. They’ve continued to renew their contracts past the end of season 6. If they were truly unhappy with the show, they can agree to leave (although it would obviously have to be a mutual decision since the show can’t really exist without both of them). No one’s putting a gun to their heads and forcing them to resign their contracts.
As for assuming you’re the person who thinks you can see past their bullshit exterior…I think that’s pretty presumptuous. Maybe I’m wrong and they hate the show, but I don’t see them sticking around just for the money. They can move on to other opportunities if they chose to do so. And film is hardly the only thing to strive for these days, since a lot of people are realizing that the quality of TV shows has dramatically risen over the years.
If you don’t like the direction of the show, that’s fine. But it’s not fair for you to project your dislike of the show on to other people, particularly the people who work hard on it.
Just had to reply Adam-sorry you are so disappointed with SPN! Luckily though there are many other shows out there that you could probably get really involved with…and BTW SPNs fan base is huge and we are really out there cheering them on.So don’t feel bad about moving on.
