RIP Kim Manners
I was shocked and saddened last night by hearing the news that, after a long battle with lung cancer, Kim Manners had passed away.
For those of you who don't know, Kim was an executive producer and director, and while I only knew of him through Supernatural, I loved and admired him for his work there. He was also one of the main influences in making The X-Files as visually compelling as it was, and has countless other credits to his name. The world of TV has lost a brilliant talent, and my heart goes out to Kim's family, and his family on SPN. You'll be hugely missed :-(
I can't do art and I'm not that great with words, so I prepared a small picture tribute for him, with caps from all the episodes he directed (and of some of my favourite moments), to showcase his skills.
Dead in the Water
Bugs
Scarecrow
Shadow
Devil's Trap
In My Time of Dying
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things
No Exit
Houses of the Holy
Heart
All Hell Breaks Loose Part 2
The Magnificent Seven
Fresh Blood
Mystery Spot
No Rest for the Wicked
Lazarus Rising
And finally, to end on a lighter, happier note:
Metamorphosis
RIP Kim, and thanks for your amazing contribution to our show, that wouldn't have been half as good without you ♥
