agt_spookyI sat down last night and read the second season companion from cover to cover and it was really good! I love how every member of the cast and crew, the writers and producers, the special effects guys and the sound guys...everyone involved with the show just loves working on SPN and really cares about one another. I think it's probably pretty rare that everyone gets along so well, making SPN even that more special of a show. :-)
A couple of funny bits that I liked - during Roadkill it was snowing, and Jensen was tormenting their on-set costumer, a lady named Bren, with snowballs and things, and after Jensen wrapped his last scene, she stuffed an entire handful of snow down the back of his shirt. Jensen ended up going after her and the two of them proceeded to roll around in the snow, laughing. :-)
And then Jeannie says that Jensen's hair grows so fast they have to cut it twice a week! She compared him to a Chia pet! LOL!
There were just a lot of good quotes from the cast and crew about behind the scenes things that went on during the season.
At the very end of the book there was a couple of pages written by Dean Winchester:
22 Helpful Hints for Inspiring Monster Hunters:
1.) If a pretty girl comes to you in your dreams, don't make any deals with her or else you might never wake up.
2.) Clowns are almost always evil. Run away.
3.) Even if a vampire is good, don't let them taste your blood.
4.) Dead flowers are a sure sign of the walking dead, or of a black thumb.
5.) The best way to resist mind control is - Oh hell, I don't know. Just make sure someone's always got your back and won't hesitate to shoot.
6.) When hunting perverted ghosts, blondes make good bait and iron knives make good weapons-but watch out for the blonde's mother or she'll whup your ass.
7.) If a ghost is a murder victim, and their killer is still alive, don't burn their bones - they'll go away on their own once justice is served.
8.) Always have a back up Devil's Trap.
9.) If you're under siege and holed up in a relatively safe place, be wary of anyone urging you to make a run for it.
10.) Always make sure your targets are evil before you blow them away or you'll be the one destined for Hell.
11.) There's no such thing as imaginary friends. If you see someone no one else can, find out where their body is buried.
12.) Never let a shapeshifter out of your sight, and never get caught in SWAT's sights. A little obvious, I know, but if you forget either thing just for a second, you're screwed.
13.) If some delusional spirit orders you to kill somebody, remember that your job is to hunt monsters, ghosts and demons - not people. Let the police deal with the Benders of the world.
14.) When people start acting strange, it never hurts to splash some holy water on them.
15.) How do you trick a Trickster? Seriously, I wanna know.
16.) When a monster is stalking you, don't stand next to a window. (That's straight out of Hunting 101).
17.) The only thing that stops werewolves is a sliver bullet to the heart. There is NO CURE.
18.) In Hollywood, nothing is as it seems - make sure you don't blow away some stunt double in a monster suit.
19.) Don't pick fights with guys who make "Sasquatch" Sam look tiny.
20.) Be careful what you wish for, it might come true. Cliched? Hell, yeah. But when you're dealing with the supernatural it's good advice. Trust me.
21.) Ghost towns are inherently dangerous - don't go off alone and don't turn your back on anyone.
22.) If you see someone about to open a gate to Hell - and I can't stress this enough - don't talk, just shoot!
