So I've started Supernatural (possible spoilers)

[photoshopgrl]

I've watched the first 2 episodes. I have to say so far so good. I've already recognized quite a few faces in just two episodes. I have a long way to go though, don't I? :o

[madscientist]

It gets better. My daughter started watching a while ago via Netflix and I rewatched the first 3 or 4 with her. I'd forgotten how stiff the acting was in the early days :). Plus some of my favorite characters don't show up until a good bit later.

The early ones are a lot of fun, don't get me wrong. But it definitely gets better.

Have fun! :)

[sean67854]

Welcome to the fold! As things progress I think you'll really start to enjoy how clever the writing is sometimes, and how much everyone involved with show seems to "get it".

[danterner]

I'm interested to hear your thoughts as you watch. It's a great series, and I think it generally gets under-discussed here.

[photoshopgrl]

As long as it gets better I'm in for the long haul. I already think by episode 3 that it's really good. Jensen, I already loved but I'm surprised at how fast I became a fan of Jared. I've never seen him in anything before and at first thought he might annoy me but he's good. I don't find the acting stiff. :up:

[IndyJones1023]

I watched the premiere and maybe one or two more, then bailed. But picked it back up in season 3 or 4. It gets mightily awesome, so stick with it. The pay off is fantastic.

[Wil]

how clever the writing is sometimes, and how much everyone involved with show seems to "get it".An episode lasts about 43 minutes and there's frequently about 3.742 minutes of good stuff. Except for the total duds.

One of the best shows on television.

[steve614]

I watched seasons 1 and 2 normally, thought it was a fun show, but I put it on the back burner.
I had seasons 3-6 saved. I had a chance to get caught up last summer and flew though 4 seasons in time to start watching season 7.
I was irritated that I had to watch season 7 on a week to week basis.

THAT'S how good it is. :)

Umm, I think your decimal point is off.

Shouldn't that be 37.42 minutes of good stuff? :p

[sean67854]

My two favorite episodes are Season 4 Episode 6, "Yellow Fever" and Season 6 Episode 15, "The French Mistake".

You'll know why when you get there. :D

[Wil]

Shouldn't that be 37.42 minutes of good stuff? :pNo. But I did look at the math and, properly rounding off, it's 3.741.

[Peter000]

"The Monster at the End of the Book" is by far my favorite ep (also a Season 4 episode).

[DreadPirateRob]

Great show!

[Rob Helmerichs]

There's an over-arching story that gradually emerges over the first couple seasons, and once that kicks into gear it becomes awesome and just gets awesomer and awesomer until it ends with Season 5.

Then the show keeps going because it was making money and the network couldn't bear to let it end, but it's still pretty good.

Like many other shows of this general nature, it likes to do the occasional comedy episode. Unlike most, it integrates them very well into the series, and in fact is constantly blurring the line between drama and comedy without lessening the dramatic impact of what's going on. Not sure how they do it. Genius, probably (and I don't mean the Anubys variety! :D).

[Chris Gerhard]

It is a good series in my opinion. I purchased the first 4 seasons on DVD or Blu-ray and have watched 5 and most of 6 using TiVo and OTA. I liked the first couple of seasons the best.

Oh great, I'm only on Season 1 Episode 4 this morning. That's too far off to start talking about. Now I want to skip to them. :D But I won't.

Do you guys want to discuss each episode or just my thoughts in general as I watch?

[photoshopgrl]

I'm watching Episode 4 and I am liking the whole "Final Destination" vibe to this.

[danterner]

The first season had several episodes that riffed on popular horror movies and tropes. That faded somewhat as the show found its footing and its own distinct arc developed. One of the things the show has always been very good at is acknowledging its source material with a wink and a nod (or sometimes an outright character exclamation), so that those riffs always come off as clever homages rather than derivative plagiaristic works. It's actually one of the aspects of the series I enjoy the most.

Nice, I didn't get the feeling they were copying Final Destination but it was clear they were thinking about it when they wrote this episode.

It's always a good sign for me when the episode goes fast. Some shows I feel like I like but I'm always getting through the episode. I haven't felt that way on this so far.

Okay I have to do some work today (booo!) then I'll start back on Episode 5 later this afternoon.

[sean67854]

You have inspired me to go back and start from the beginning again.

As others have said, many times when the plot starts to resemble a popular horror trope, some character will directly comment on it. This show really knows its place.

[hummingbird_206]

I started watching a few months ago, but barely made it halfway through the first season. I need to get back into it.

[photoshopgrl]

Is it just me or do you refuse to ever play 'Bloody Mary' even though you know it's totally not real? :D

Nicely done

[photoshopgrl]

Okay the soft whisper like voice that Sam uses when talking to people cracks me up.

[Zevida]

I saw a few episodes of this when visiting my SIL. I liked it, but I feel like 150+ episodes is a lot to commit to.

[photoshopgrl]

Okay last post of the night, then I'm turning this off. Just finished episode 6 and I have questions. I should have a mod add "possible spoilers" to the titles so we can discuss freely. For now I'll spoiler my questions .....

1. The police think Dean was the killer and he made a comment about seeing his own funeral. So how's that going to work now that he's supposedly dead to the world??
2. Where do these two get money to travel and do all this? I know Dean made a reference last episode to winning money playing poker but that isn't going to sustain them both on country wide trips non stop so I'm curious.
Still liking it a lot! I see the title of the next one and I already can see what they are referencing from folklore. Tomorrow! :)

2. They use a lot of stolen credit cards and stolen identities.

They get money by credit card fraud and scams.

I watched all these last year. I didn't watch the current season though. I'd like to see what happens.

[cheesesteak]

A lot of shows have all of their good ideas in the first season and then run out of steam. The middle and later years of Supernatural are very, very good.

[billypritchard]

Cristina, I started a very similar thread in Feb 2010. At this point my wife, friend, and I have watched through most of season 6, about one or two per week. It's been fun, and the show is very good. They really do a good job of having a monster of the week but also building towards a grand plot. It's very well done.

[billypritchard]

Is it just me or do you refuse to ever play 'Bloody Mary' even though you know it's totally not real? :D

This reminds me of a recent news story here in Missouri where a car full of teenage girls parked on the railroad tracks out in the country because local legend said there were spirits of a past accident that haunted the place. Of course their car failed to start and three girls died when a train smashed it. That's the very dark side of the stories that Supernatural tells.

This is good to know! I'm really drawn in so far. I can see some of the shows I planned to catch up on are going to get back-burner'd.

That's tragic. When I was in high school we used to do some pretty stupid things like that. Visited old abandoned places with stories behind them. There's one we did that I'll never ever forget but the story is too long and off track for this thread. :)

[Rob Helmerichs]

One thing you might want to watch for is when they do comedy episodes, the difference in the way Jared and Jensen approach them. Once you start to notice, the contrast is hilarious. Jared always plays it perfectly straight, and Jensen has a wink-and-nudge thing going on.

I also realized Jared was in the last Friday the 13th movie. So I guess I had seen him before.
I adore Jensen so much on this show I can only imagine how much I'm going to by the time I catch up on all the seasons! Jared has really grown on me and his straight man to Jensen is great as well (as I mentioned before) his soft, lower, serious voice when talking to some people, usually kids or victims, just totally kills me. :up:

Did not watch that. I looked on IMDB at all his stuff, which is how I knew he was in Friday the 13th.

[mm2margaret]

Season 1 was a nice warm up. But season's 2-5 are just really good, and some of the individual episodes are fantastic. You've got a lot of fun TV viewing in front of you. Don't know how you're viewing it, but if you have cable, it is on TNT, two shows, Monday through Friday. And yes, I loved the humor, and the sarcastic dialogue - some of their more comedic episodes are lol funny.

Both of these guys are attractive, but Jensen's just amazingly hawt...imho....

[sean67854]

I would encourage you to go to Youtube and watch the behind the scenes and outtake stuff as you go through the episodes/seasons. Some of the stuff is EPIC.

Like this one. (there's a little bit of the scene before the outtake, but it won't spoil anything for you)

I'm itching to watch one right now but I have Mad Men finale to watch too. What to do! What to do!

Yep. In my mind, Supernatural is the spiritual successor to Buffy for both of those reasons: its gradual evolution from somewhat spooky MOTW of the episodes to an awesome overarching plot (and Supernatural actually did the much harder task of an overarching plot that lasted for multiple seasons, whereas Buffy generally only had season-long plot lines) as well as its ability to seamlessly throw in a comic changeup in the midst of some pretty dark episodes, without diminishing in any way the darkness that comes both before and after.

I have the first 3 seasons on DVD and there are some outtakes on there, but there are a LOT more on youtube. One interesting note from the season 1 dvd (I think it was season 1 anyway), is that on one of the commentary track, Jared and Jensen were talking about how their shooting schedule so grueling. They were saying that they are in more scenes per episode that the actors on most other shows.

I graduated HS with Jensen and would frequently hang out with him in our circle of friends. But no, I don't talk to him now. I saw him at church several years ago after he had started this show and we talked for a bit. I am not trying to claim we are tight, though he friended me with a fake FB account he created (and has since deleted). Another guy from that circle is a TV writer and producer Chris Dowling.

Both are great dudes and I'm glad they've made a lot of $$. :D

That's awesome. It's nice to hear that someone famous is a nice guy even when the camera is off. Good for him for having it all!
My claim to fame is someone far less exciting than that. And I'm not sure they'd like me telling on a board but there's a specific football kicker I went on a date with that was quite talked about for awhile, him and his brother. To this day my dad still mentions it as if I screwed him out of SuperBowl tickets by not continuing that. LOL

I honestly cannot imagine liking Buffy. I have never seen a full episode from start to finish but I've seen bits and pieces because my sister is a HUGE fan and I thought it was ridiculous. It doesn't help that I cannot stand Allison Hannigan and I think SMH is a bad actress. <runs>

[Zevida]

Disliking Buffy is unpossible.

Buffy's Alyson Hannigan is a different person than the other Alyson Hannigans.

If you just think that Buffy = SMG, you don't have to worry about acting. She is just playing herself. And she actually does a pretty darn good job in a few episodes.

Based on what other shows you like, it really is inconceivable that you would not like Buffy. It's really and truly brilliant. You'll have to grit your teeth through the first season (because it's not very good, but there are glimmers here and there of what it can be), but once you hit S2 you are in for some of the best TV ever produced.

[photoshopgrl]

People don't make me start spamming my own thread with hot Jensen pictures! :D

When you watch it in order, the changes aren't so jarring. Jensen's voice changes quite a bit too.

Ha! I'm so loving their little throw in references. Watching Hook Man. "Nice job, Dr Venkman" cracked me up just now.

You are about to get to episode that should suck you in for good. I almost gave up after the bug episode. I am so glad I didn't. Episode 9 kicks the show into high gear.

I still think the first two seasons of Supernatural are the best of any TV show I have seen. (JMHO)

I am thinking of doing a re-watch with you since I am still stuck in bed with a broken leg.

Can't wait to hear what you think.

I'm already sucked in for good. They had me right about the 7 min mark in the pilot. (in case you don't know, that was the first appearance of Jensen :D)

So very, very shameful....... :o

Ha! I had almost forgotten my love of him after so many years since Dark Angel, where I discovered him. I should have been watching this all along. I have no idea why I didn't. I think it was back before I accepted that CW might actually have a good show.
He'll never match my love of Ian but he could come close in 7 seasons I'm about to obsessively watch!

Funny there are actors you love just because they are so amazing and there are actors you love because they are so amazingly hot and can act! :D

Okay back to actual episode talk and enough about Jensen and his hotness.

I'm about to watch Episode 9 titled "Home" and I've mistakenly saw the synopsis so I know what it's about. I have to ask... is the father NOT actually going to be in this show? I assumed by now they'd find him and this would end up a trio of "hunters" but slowly I'm starting to think something is funky with father.

I have already picked up on little things like at the beginning of this episode the little girl tells her mom something is in the closet, mommy goes to look, turns and says "see, nothing there" and we are viewing from inside the closet. ALL horror flicks you know that's when the monster gets her but this show? Nope. Love it.

I watched (I think) both season 1 and season 2. I quit because despite having 3 tuners, I had multiple conflicts. Is it worth finishing off?

[lodica1967]

I watched (I think) both season 1 and season 2. I quit because despite having 3 tuners, I had multiple conflicts. Is it worth finishing off?

I thought season 3 was horrible. It should have been awesome after the way season 2 ended. However, it was during the writer's strike , so I tried to cut them some slack.

Season 4 got back on track and while I still like the first 2 seasons best, the rest are worth watching.

[Ereth]

I watched it for years. I can't tell you which season I gave up on, but it was like they were going to redo the entire previous year and while I was still Tivoing it, I one day realized the entire season was on my TiVo, and I had no desire to watch it, so I deleted it.

For those who remember it better than I do, the point I gave up was when
We had a whole season when Sam (?) was going to die and the entire year was "this is his last year" and then at the end Dean (I might have them backwards) went and did the crossroads thing and sold his soul so that his brother would live and now HE only had one year to live, and the new season was "now we have this brother only has one year to live". I don't know what year that was, but after their Dad coming back from Hell, only to go off and die on Grays Anatomy, and then both brothers, it just seemed like it was out of ideas.

The guy from Dark Angel was on Smallville, too, and it seemed like he was everywhere for a while.

I absolutely LOVED the "Sam and Dean" reference, but always wondered how many people got that.

[photoshopgrl]

Haha! "Let me know if you see any dead people, Haley Joel." I love Dean.

[photoshopgrl]

Okay just watched the scarecrow episode. WTF.

[photoshopgrl]

Okay I got through Episode 12. That was a spectacular episode!! (in spite of Julie Benz ;))
I'm still so confused about what happened at the end of Episode 11 so I can only assume we haven't seen the last of Meg and WTFever that was in that blood she was talking to. And I find myself loving Jared more and more and I'm really dreading watching him go from nice boy, cute, charming to whatever he becomes by Season 7. Stay young and cute! I love the contrast between the characters.
Oh and Jensen abso-freaking-lutely SLAYED me when he almost broke down on the phone with his dad's voice mail. :( But come the hell on, Dean.....give your brother an actual hug. That's starting to annoy me. He doesn't have to be that hard all the time!

Wasn't episode 11, "Faith," the one with the faith healer? I don't recall Julie Benz in it but I see the cast list she definitely was. I remember that as being a pretty good episode. And episode 12 was "Route 666"? Maybe my memory is off.

I've been reading the episode synopses to keep track with where in the show you are. Lots of pretty good early episodes, laying lots of foundation for stuff that occurs later on.

As fun and entertaining as the stories are, and as intelligent as the arc is, for me the complex relationship between the brothers and how it changes in various ways over time is really one of the highlights of the series. Both Js are great in their roles.

Episode 13 is Route 666 which I am going to be watching when I get home.
And I agree totally about the complex relationship between them being the best. The fun stories (and hotness of Jensen) drew me in but the characters themselves is what's holding me and keeping me chomping at the bit to get home to watch more.
All I know is that if we don't see some real brotherly love between them soon, I'm going to end up throwing something at my TV. Dean needs to be a bit less of a hard ass if only with Sam. He can remain as is for the rest of the world.

[JYoung]

My advice is to stick with it.

The relationship with the Winchester brothers is absolute gold and keeps me coming back, episode after episode.

[photoshopgrl]

CW sure knows how to keep me hooked with their somewhat screwed up but compelling stories of brothers. This and Vampire Diaries both revolve around that. TVD isn't about vampires or Elena for me. It's all about the brotherly bond.

[photoshopgrl]

Okay finished Episode 13. Not sure how I feel about Dean in lurve and telling her about what they do. (not a fan of the actress either but that's because of 4400) I did love that it gave Sam a chance to be kind of smarmy about it. Hee.

[photoshopgrl]

OH MY! Watching Episode 14 and it just revealed why Sam was having visions of this family!!! This is getting crazy!
WAIT WHAT?? Did Sam just move something with HIS MIND?? WTF!

You must be talking about Route 666. Worst. Episode. Ever.

I am working to catch up with you but will be skipping this episode. I am on "Scarecrow", so almost there.

Broke my leg in December and have been in bed since. I am watching an embarrassing amount of TV. :o (Thankfully it is baseball season, I can kill 8 hours a day easily)

Since Cristina is watching I was glad to have an excuse to re-watch. Anything to break up my days.

[photoshopgrl]

Seriously? No comments about Sam moving that chest WITH HIS MIND?? I'm still reeling from this. Did not expect them to go in that direction. At. All.

[danterner]

The show will go in many directions you would not necessarily expect - that is part of what makes it enjoyable. For us to comment on those directions might spoil it for you.

I remember going WHOA too. :)

Six months bed rest with a broken leg? Is that normal? Sorry to hear that, as I'm sure you'd rather be up and about.

Never broke a bone, so I have no frame of reference.

As a TV fanatic, there is a small part of me drooling over extended TV watching time... er, I mean bed rest.:)

[photoshopgrl]

Just kidding guys! :D

So I'm about to watch Episode 15 and it just struck me watching the "previously on" how much I adore Sam. And it's really weird because when the pilot started I was convinced I was going to hate him, then half way through the pilot I thought he was okay but that I wouldn't watch the show for him. Now I think I love him as much as Dean. :eek:
(and superficially, strangely enough, I no longer am worried about his transition into long haired, sideburned guy as long as he remains awesome)

[Peter000]

Sam really grew on me as the seasons progressed. I wasn't a big fan of the character in the first season.

But some of the best characters are the guest starring and second-billed actors, IMO.

[photoshopgrl]

Ha! "Ned Beatty time, man!"

[photoshopgrl]

So did I miss something on this episode or were they just crazy rednecks? I don't recall anything supernatural about them! :confused:

[DreadPirateRob]

I love reading these updates and realizing that if Cristina is excited now - midway through S1 - her mind is going to be freaking blown by the next couple of seasons. :)

And again with the brotherly love. Dean freaking out yelling "if you hurt my brother, I'll kill you, I swear. I'll kill you all. I will kill you all!!!" was just so awesome! Still waiting on my brother hug though. http://seekup.org/smileys/uploaded/foottap.gif

No, I got that he said they were just people. I was just surprised he wasn't wrong in some way. I liked the episode, I just didn't expect them to have one without something supernatural being involved. Now I'm wondering if X-Files or Fringe ever did this??

X-Files did, at least early on. But it was in cases where Mulder never believed it had a supernatural explanation. (He was infallible in the early days.)

No, I just remember being annoyed at the time (which was, of course, 20 years ago). Because Scully was the hero and Mulder was the villain in the early episodes (she was always thinking rationally, and he was barely thinking at all), yet it was portrayed as being the opposite. And the only time he thought "correctly" and she jumped to absurd conclusions was when the rules were changed so that the natural explanation was the correct one. They LOVED stacking the deck in Mulder's favor.

Eventually, of course, she abandoned logic and reason and came over to the dark side so it became irrelevant. :D

And now I'm starting Episode 16 of Supernatural. :)

[photoshopgrl]

Man, WTF Dean hugs dad but not Sam. At least we got the hug between him and his dad before it all went haywire!!! Holy crapola! So this is getting really real, eh?

[photoshopgrl]

Haha! Hell House was a welcoming lighter episode. Sooo many quotes!

Dean: I thought the legend said that Mordecai only goes after chicks?
Sam: It does.
Dean: All right, well... I mean that explains why it went after you, but why me?
Sam: Hilarious.

Dean: People believe in Santa Claus. How come I'm not getting hooked up every Christmas?
Sam: Cuz you're a bad person.

Dean: I barely have any skin left on my palm.
Sam: I'm not touching that line with a ten foot pole.

[photoshopgrl]

Watching Episode 18. Do not like the kids they picked to play little Sam and Dean. The one that plays Dean has a weird bite with his jaw and some kind of mole by his nose. Nothing alike!
(things like that bug me)

[photoshopgrl]

Okay don't mind me, I'm just going to keep on talking to myself.

http://seekup.org/smileys/uploaded/tumbleweed.gif

So another episode with the brotherly bond that makes me smile. The little kid that helped them was adorable too.

Okay I have other shows to watch but now I can see how close I am to finishing this first season, I kind of have to do it. So on to Episode 19 I go!

[photoshopgrl]

Oh my GOD I think my mom just spoiled something huge for me. I asked my sister (huge Buffy fan) if she was watching this show and she said no but that my mom does. So my mom being a holy roller, I was shocked so I called her asking what the F she watches a show about demons and ghosts and stuff for. So she says to me "I liked the two actors and I liked that the mom and dad used to do it and has passed it on to them"..........UMMM WHAT?? So I yelled at her because I'm just watching the first season and asked her if she just spoiled something for me and she said "oh sorry, I'm not going to say anything else". ::mad:
She did, didn't she? I'm going to find out that mommy and daddy have been hunters all along and that's why she was killed. Bah!!

[Rob Helmerichs]

She did, didn't she? I'm going to find out that mommy and daddy have been hunters all along and that's why she was killed. Bah!!
All I will say is, you did not really understand what exactly she was saying, and you probably shouldn't try.

Cristina, since you're almost done with season one, let me recommend you view the blooper/gag reel for season one before moving on to season two.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZPCUFoqDlU

[photoshopgrl]

I will watch it when I'm done, thank you!!

Just finished episode 20 and I have a question... why did they let the girl vamps go? I thought he said they kept their scent for life. Won't that main chick want revenge at some point for them killing her mate??

[photoshopgrl]

Oh and I was super pumped to see Dean finally back Sam up to their dad! YAY! 2 episodes left. I've literally accomplished nothing else today but watching this show. Might as well finish off the season!

[danterner]

I remember the finale. I suspect you will not be able to resist watching the first episode of Season 2 after you see the finale of Season One...

[photoshopgrl]

OH MY GOD! What a finale!! This show rocks!
And yes, I have to watch the first episode of Season 2 now.

I KNEW it was in daddy! I kept saying it over and over! Gah! Sam not being able to shoot him while he was yelling to kill it and Dean was begging him not to was just gut punching me. These are some great actors!

[photoshopgrl]

And apparently I'm watching them on my computer. I don't know what it is about the encoding of files marked x256 but my stupid POS Panasonic player will not play them. Well it does, it's just black with no sound.

[photoshopgrl]

Oh that is some serious BS right there! NO NO NO. I am so pissed off. I knew he was doing it but I really didn't believe it would go down that way in the end. WTF. Now they have no way to kill it AND their father is gone. And make sure poor Sam not only feels responsible but is the one to find him on the floor. Nice. asdfjksadjfkjdsf;jasd;kf

So I assume eventually we will learn what's so special about Sam and "the other kids like him" as well as what John whispered to Dean. I know it's gotta be something big. Maybe what he whispered is the Sam secret.

I'm watching Bloodlust now via Netfix. So cute how happy Dean was about his car. :)

[Rob Helmerichs]

This is not a show that just drops things in for the (ahem) hell of it.

Much as it may seem at the time.

Okay just finished episode 4. I need to get things done so I must force myself to stop there. Not surprised Dean put 2 and 2 together on the missing Colt, dead daddy and his miraculous recovery. So he and Sam can both have unending guilt over it. Great! Way to go John. Grrr

And I'm pretty sure we have not seen the last of that Gordon guy. No way they let that not catch up with them sometime in the future. I also hope them letting the vamps go doesn't come back to (pun intended) bite them in the ass. I guess they live in shades of gray from here on out.

[photoshopgrl]

Okay I'm so addicted to this show it's pathetic. Watched episode 5 and I think I'm going to watch 6 before bed. I did at least get a few things done today.

I also just realized that although I love both characters I think Sam is taking the top spot for me and I would have never thought it possible when I started this. :)

[crowfan]

I love reading this thread. I just watched Supernatural over the last 2 years and remember all of these same emotions [ETA: except for the whole Jensen/Jared lovefest. NTTAWWT :)]. I'm just catching up with season 7 now. You're going to love where it goes. It just keeps getting bigger and better. Enjoy it - it's a great ride!

[Rob Helmerichs]

That may switch back and forth a few times over the course of the series. They are both fairly complex, evolving characters.

[photoshopgrl]

I'm okay with that! I'm more than okay with that actually. And actually, I can see it happening. I honestly can't think of a single show that I've loved both leads this much. Maybe Justified comes pretty close.

Okay so now we find out that John got Ellen's husband killed. I wonder the whys and the hows on that story. If both men are dead, I wonder if we'll ever know what happened. Jo doesn't seem to want much to do with Dean now. Oh well.

I've been tempted to look up on IMDB to see how many episodes Ellen and Jo were in but I'm scared that I'll see something there that might spoiler me on future guests or something. Are these on going guests? I assume they will be if they are still waiting on Ash.

[danterner]

I encourage you NOT to look up the show actors on IMDB, for that very reason. I've often kicked myself after looking something up and spoiling myself about something inadvertently. You either learn that a character you thought was a minor character turned out to be in a ton of later episodes. Or you learn that what you thought to be a major character really didn't stick around. It's never a good idea. I'm not speaking about Supernatural specifically, by the way.

[crowfan]

Great point. Really had a major plot of Angel season 5 by looking up one of the actresses on IMDB.

[photoshopgrl]

Okay I won't look then. Off to bed, I felt like I put a nice dent in watching episodes this weekend, as it's all I did but I still have a long way to go! New season starts in Sept I assume?

Jared was one of three actors in contention for the role of Conan in the recent movie remake. The role went to Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo). Apparently Jared beefed up during the audition process. Honestly, I didn't really notice.

Oh well then that comment indicates they think he's my current favorite because of his looks. Not true. And the beefier, the less I'd probably lust. Not into that whole 'meathead' look. :p

[ACoolDude]

Ok, I'm in.

Started re-watching from the beginning last night. 3 down.

It is weird after watching the entire series as it aired (or close to it - as one of the shows that never got backlogged on the DVR) to go back and see how young they were, how their acting was not quite as good as later, and their voices were so different.

Slight spoiler

and how they got busted on their identities being false in 2 of the 3 episodes

[photoshopgrl]

I've seen enough present day pictures of them both to agree on Jared but Jensen looks the exact same to me. Everyone keeps talking about their voices and it's driving me bananas. I like them just as they are now (where I am in the show) so I hope they don't do anything drastic. Jared's hair was enough and now that I'm past that freak out, I don't need more! :D

Don't worry about the voices. It's a gradual change, I doubt you'll notice. It's like when you get a pet and you don't really notice it growing until you find some old pictures of when it was small.

Yeah I can do all that on my iPad or computer too but I don't want to watch it on either of those, even though I have 25" monitors. I want the big screen for watching. This is why I know it's the crappy Panasonic Bluray player and it's happened many times in the past with me doing not much of anything at all. So I'd rather just wait.

hmmm Jensen definitely. Good boy. Come get a treat. :p

And speaking of... not that you care but since we're being superficial, when I was looking for photos of them before and now to see differences, I came across this picture. This might just be the sexiest picture of Jensen I've ever seen. Holy hell.

Okay let's not get off into dirtyville cuz I've been really good about that given how hot I find him. :D

[ACoolDude]

Yeah, I don't know who Jared or Jensen are - I have to keep going to IMDB to see which one is Sam and which one is Dean :)

And after watching season 7, they sound like chipmunk versions of themselves in season 1 - didn't notice the change 1st time through.

[photoshopgrl]

Like many other shows of this general nature, it likes to do the occasional comedy episode. Unlike most, it integrates them very well into the series, and in fact is constantly blurring the line between drama and comedy without lessening the dramatic impact of what's going on. Not sure how they do it. Genius, probably (and I don't mean the Anubys variety! :D).
I wanted to go back and comment on this since I've now watched quite a few and you're so right. I think that's what makes them so believable is they truly act like brothers. The fighting, the teasing each other, the sarcasm and the bottom line that they will do whatever it takes to keep the other safe. The one liners they deliver on each other slay me. I could sit here and do nothing but post quotes that make me giggle from most episodes.

One of the things the show has always been very good at is acknowledging its source material with a wink and a nod (or sometimes an outright character exclamation), so that those riffs always come off as clever homages rather than derivative plagiaristic works. It's actually one of the aspects of the series I enjoy the most.
They do this a lot!! Especially when someone that's guesting on the show used to be on something else. Such as the episode with Linda Blair. They've mentioned the movie in the past episodes and the very end of this, I think it was Dean that says to Sam "did she look familiar to you?" I about died laughing.

Cristina, since you're almost done with season one, let me recommend you view the blooper/gag reel for season one before moving on to season two.

I don't think I went back to comment on this after I watched it but it was awesome!!! I was sooo tempted to watch others when it was done, as I could see all the blooper reels listed on Youtube but I didn't. I did search for them all and save the links so I could go back after each season. :up:

No that isn't a metaphore for anything in the show, just a bad joke! Don't read anything into it!

[photoshopgrl]

OT, but let me know how you like your Roku. I've got a Logitech Review, but we just finished our basement and I might in the market for another "media box".
I will let you know. My boss got the Logitech and ended up sending it back and getting the AppleTV. I didn't get that because he says it won't do Hulu. The Roku (especially the XS) had the most features and the best reviews so fingers crossed!!

I'm sure that's a joke you've heard many times in your life, eh Luke? ;)

[photoshopgrl]

And I am successfully hooked up with Roku, watching Netflix. It's smooth even with me surfing the web and still connected to work via VPN. It took less than 5 minutes to get it set up and going. It actually took longer to sign into Netflix with their silly Wii looking remote than it did to set the entire Roku player up. I can let you know more later as I use it if you want but so far it gets 2 thumbs up from me!

And WTF. I had to pause after they went back to the conversation with Dean and Sam. That's it? Just that he has to save him or kill him?? That's crap information! How did Dean not ask more questions??? So apparently him and "all the ones like him" are being geared up with the yellow eyed demon to what? Take over the world? Wreak havoc on others? Is the yellow eyed demon the devil?? Gah this is bringing up more questions than it's answering!!

[sean67854]

That is one of the nice things about this show. It always answers the questions, eventually. :D

[Rob Helmerichs]

One thing that becomes clearer and clearer is that when THESE producers say they have a five-year plan, they mean it (yeah, Lost, I'm lookin' at YOU!).

So there's a lot of set-up going on. And as time goes by, there's pay-off. And as more time goes by, there's less set-up and more pay-off. And eventually, it's pure pay-off.

And then the show keeps going, but that's another story. Literally and figuratively. :D

[photoshopgrl]

Okay episode finished. So soldiers working with yellow eyed demon/devil. But why? Why not just gather up all the demons and posses humans and go do whatever it is. Okay so long arc. I'll try to be patient. But I have to say SCREW YOU SHOW! I thought finally we were gonna get a brother hug after Sam untied Dean and Dean stood up and grabbed Sam's shoulders. So effing close I got all happy then realized it was a tease. Bah!!
And can we have one episode that our boys don't get the crap kicked out of them? I'm thinking no.

[Church AV Guy]

I'm sure that's a joke you've heard many times in your life, eh Luke? ;)

Actually not. What I hear many times, STILL, is when I'm working on something, someone will quip, use the force, Luke. I am SO tired of that one!

This show is maddening, but very satisfying as well. As has been said, it offers riddles, and questions, and mysteries, but it delivers. I am always afraid that it will go "over the top" in its subject matter, but they have held it together much longer than I ever thought possible.

[photoshopgrl]

Okay just finished the one with the shape shifter in the bank, episode 12. So yeah, basically they are now being hunted by every law enforcement agency on top of all the demon/devil BS. Lovely! How the hell are they going to get out of it? They look as guilty as possible! Poor Sam is going to unravel at the seams before long. :(

[photoshopgrl]

Gah! This show. One minute I'm laughing at their snark and the next minute Sam says something like "..and I needed to think there was something else watching too, ya know. Some higher power, greater good. And that maybe... maybe I could be saved" and I get all misty.

Okay off to bed, the next synopsis looks like a doozy so I better stop here.

[photoshopgrl]

Oh they almost had me. Just finished Born Under A Bad Sign where Sam kills the hunter and attacks Jo. Right when he clocked Dean with the gun I figured it out. Bobby is one smart guy. I like him too so hope he shows up more often.

[Rob Helmerichs]

Bobby is one smart guy. I like him too so hope he shows up more often.
Tee hee. And if it drives you crazy trying to figure out what I mean by that, well, tee hee. :D

(Didja know that the actor who plays him is primarily a writer? And that the character is named after one of the show's executive producers?)

[photoshopgrl]

Oh well apparently your Tee hee was because here he is in the very next one. I didn't love this one, I have to say. I just don't find any entertainment value in watching them bicker the very episode after Dean is faced with killing his own brother and refusing to do so because he'd rather die. One more before bed!

What kind of a ******bag names a character after himself?

[Rob Helmerichs]

What kind of a ******bag names a character after himself?
Apparently he didn't...the character was supposed to be only a one-off appearance, and Singer hired Beaver (a friend of his) to play the part. Somebody else changed the name to "Bobby Singer" as a joke. Then everybody fell in love with the character, and they were stuck with the name.

It's not really much of a spoiler...you won't have a clue what it means, until you do, at which point it won't be a spoiler because it's already happened.

Then again, there's no point in reading it, since you won't have a clue what it means.

You are trying to get her to read the spoiler - that's evil! :D

The reason I consider it a spoiler is because... (again, not for photoshopgrl)

It's not such a leap to realize that TFM is an episode title, and then from there to piece together that it follows that the character was involved at least in that episode too.

[Rob Helmerichs]

You...that's evil! :D
My work here is done. :D I'm not so sure she would see it as an episode title, rather than a reference to what the episode title is referring to.

Okay so I watched through episode 16 last night, Roadkill. That was very well done and I didn't figure it out until the end when they took her to her husbands house.

I'm just moving right along here!

[photoshopgrl]

Wow so I just finished "Heart" about the werewolf. So Sam finally has sex with someone and ends up having to kill her. Bet that won't happen again now. Poor guy. That was some mighty mighty fine acting by both leads at the end. These two can cry like nobody's business!! I think the worst was Dean. Camera pans closer as you see all over his face him having to do this to Sam followed by a gunshot and his tears fall. Just wow.

[photoshopgrl]

Okay so I got finished with Episode 19 last night, the prison episode. How the hell are they going to get out of all those charges? Are they just going to live life on the run forever, probably gathering more charges as they go? How the hell did John not leave this kind of mess in his wake?

3 more to go in Season 2! I'll probably finish them up tonight. I also have been catching up on little notes from each episode that TVRage adds to their listings. I love that they not only give you episode notes but quotes and references too. Most of the references I get but a few get by me. :)

[Jonathan_S]

(Didja know that the actor who plays him is primarily a writer? And that the character is named after one of the show's executive producers?)I didn't even realize that until it got pointed out In one of the episodes. Yeah, it's a hyper-minor spoiler, but why not tag it :D And yes, I now see danterner hinted at that same point. Hope photoshopgrl isn't seeing all this ;)

[Rob Helmerichs]

We should keeping talking in spoiler tags, just to mess with her. :D

[photoshopgrl]

If you're going to spoiler talk amongst yourselves at least talk to me about my episodes too, damnit! :D

[robojerk]

But it's not even a spoiler that Bobby's character is named after a writer, but rather a fun fan fact.

[IndyJones1023]

(Didja know that the actor who plays him is primarily a writer? And that the character is named after one of the show's executive producers?)

I thought this was interesting so I looked him up on IMDB. But I wouldn't say he's primarily known as a writer. His last writing credit was in 1988, and he's had dozens of acting roles since then.

[Rob Helmerichs]

But it's not even a spoiler that Bobby's character is named after a writer, but rather a fun fan fact.
The spoiler is that his being named after a writer is a plot point in an episode she hasn't watched yet. So he was tagging mention of that episode.

Man, she must be going crazy with all these spoiler tags! :D
I thought this was interesting so I looked him up on IMDB. But I wouldn't say he's primarily known as a writer. His last writing credit was in 1988, and he's had dozens of acting roles since then.
He's also a playwright, with four plays produced since 2000, the last in 2011. Plus a book about his wife's fight with cancer that was published a couple of years ago.

Obviously, he's now primarily known as Bobby Singer. But he's spent most of his career as a writer who acts.

I want to, but like you I caught up on this show. I did marathon through the first 2.5 season before catching up to live and now as I read your posts it's just a hazy vague image. I remember the important stuff, but the exact details have gone. :(

Yeah I assume that's the case for a lot of people since the show has been on for so long now. I decided to catch up on other stuff tonight and finish season 2 tomorrow. I'm sure I'll be halfway through season 3 by the end of the weekend as I have zero plans. I live on the wild side.

[photoshopgrl]

TWO SEASONS! Finally I get my hug!!!!!
But no Dean. No no no no no. ONE YEAR?? That's it?? No. That clearly cannot happen (even if I knew it wasn't possible because the show wouldn't go on).

I actually have it paused on the hug. I haven't even finished the finale yet. Gah! This show is killing me. Killing me!!!!

[photoshopgrl]

Okay starting Season 3.
We can officially put this show in my favorites list. I'm laughing, I'm yelling at the TV, I'm getting all misty.... all in a single episode. And seriously, I know I've said it before but it needs to be said over and over. The acting on this show is ah-f'ing-mazing!
And I think Dean is again my favorite. :D

[danterner]

Season 3 had some great episodes, if I recall. And some pretty cool characters. It was a shortened season, because of the Writers' Strike.

[photoshopgrl]

I can't wait to see how they are going to get Dean out of his 1 year contract without Sam dying. I assume, even with the shortened season that's where we'll be by the end of Season 3.

[photoshopgrl]

I have a problem. I can't stop watching. Starting Episode 5. I would say more about each one but nobody seems to remember specifics do I'll just add major thoughts.

I'm dying to find out how and why the blonde demon is helping them with Dean. Oh and the colt works again!

Hard to say anything about Ruby without major spoilers, so I'll hold my tongue.

So much for the holding of the tongue.

I'm curious to see how Cristina reacts to Bella. Most everyone I have spoken with really hated the character.

[steve614]

I have a problem. I can't stop watching.

I found it was very easy to watch this show one episode after another.
You can skip over the 'then' part at the beginning (you already know that stuff), and you pick up where the last episode left off most of the time.
That, and because it's a good show. Many times when I'd reach the end of an episode I would think "what? ALREADY?":D

[danterner]

* SPOILER *

I liked her. And the actress is in two other shows she likes (Vampire Diaries, and The Walking Dead). I bet she'll like her

[danterner]

I can't wait to see how they are going to get Dean out of his 1 year contract without Sam dying. I assume, even with the shortened season that's where we'll be by the end of Season 3.

I spent the season wondering the same thing. I was not disappointed with how it was handled, to say the least. I was very surprised, though.

[danterner]

A couple of the episodes you have coming up are among my favorites - Mystery Spot (11) and Ghostfacers (13) are great.

Yes, I say that after every episode. It's better because I don't even have to bother FFW through commercials with Netflix.
I know I can skip over the beginning but I rarely do. I think it gives me insight on what the episode will be about.

Good to know!

So I finished Episode 6 before bed. I'm tempted to see how many more I'm going to have to endure of Bella. Even the name is annoying. Hated the actress on TVD and hate her on Walking Dead. She's not as grating on this but I still don't like episodes that she's so featured in like this last one. And hello boys, can we get a clue that this bitch is always going to pull a fast one on you? Even though they saved her life, she'll do it again. I'm over it already.
(although I did crack up at her telling Dean they should have hate sex and his response is to cover himself and say "don't objectify me!" ha!)

I also love that Bobby is seemingly around for good. He's shown up in almost every episode as of late, even if just for a minute.

Don't think Sam is bad in any way but I do love that he seems a little less of a pushover. I was a bit surprised when he killed the crossroads demon. I can only assume that her "boss" is the devil himself. And speaking of... I forgot to mention that I was surprised they actually killed off the yellow eyed demon. I kinda thought he would turn out to be the devil. Guess not. So the color of his eyes meant nothing?

OH and WTF! with their mom saying something like "You!" when she saw dude at the crib when he had Sam there like the ghost of Christmas past! So mom wasn't just some innocent victim!! I want to get back to that and know what it was all about!!!

Bella was created as a one time character, but the CW wanted the show to add female leads to help attract a higher female demographic. So the character was expanded, but it's obvious the producers didn't want her, and had no idea what to do with her. I hope it's not a big spoiler to just say she is only a part of the show during the third season.

It is a spoiler but one I'm okay with. I don't absolutely hate her like I did Rose on TVD but I will be more than okay to see her go! And I'm wondering why they think adding more females will bring a higher dem of female viewers than the already two hot men? ummm... :confused:
If they really wanted more women, they could just have added a hot demon instead of all the ugly ones. :D

[photoshopgrl]

Dude. I just finished Mystery Spot. That is a favorite of yours???? I absolutely hated hated hated that episode! Stupid Trixter! Poor Sam. That was not right at all!!! They really have to save Dean. Sam is not going to be okay without him. Not at all! The only good thing about this episode was another brother hug.

[photoshopgrl]

Oh yeah. Bella can die now. Officially hate her.

[robojerk]

I loved Mystery Spot..

[photoshopgrl]

I hated it because it was so good. Such great acting. Gut wrenching. I did not want to keep watching Dean die! It was killing me. I'm so in love with these characters it is ridiculous.

[JYoung]

Oh yeah. Bella can die now. Officially hate her.

Just out of curiosity, how do you feel about Jo?

[danterner]

The reason I liked Mystery Spot is because it really exemplifies the series' strengths:

1. It took a tired trope (groundhog day) and breathed fresh life into it, acknowledging both that movie and also tipping its hat to the X-Files (cf. the X-Files episode "Monday")
2. It was funny and off-kilter, deftly mixing comedy and drama
3. It was exciting and unpredictable, playing nimbly with expectations
4. The acting was great
5. It seemed like a bottle show, but it actually progresses the story arc though you only notice in hindsight near the episode's conclusion as it all comes together.
6. It explores the main theme of the season (Sam coming to terms with the fact that he may be powerless to save Dean), and really grows Sam's character.

[photoshopgrl]

Just out of curiosity, how do you feel about Jo?
Jo is the daughter from the Roadhouse right? I like her. I keep expecting to see her again but nothing. I like Ellen too. I wish they had bigger roles. If they wanted females they already had two likable ones IMO.

I liked her on my short lived show Cane too. She's also guest starred on several other shows I watch that I can't name right off. I think fans will hate any person that might be a romantic interest of their favorite male character. Doesn't make sense but I do see that a lot.

I also just realized the girl that played the werewolf that Sam sexed up was Mia from Two and a Half Men!

And question. In the dream episode why is it Lisa the "bendy Yoga chick" he had a weekend with his fantasy and not the 4400 girl he was supposedly in love with enough to tell what they did??

Damnit Supernatural and their effing cliffhangers! If I were having to wait months to watch the first episode of Season 4 I would be one livid bitch right now. Luckily I'm going right on to it before bed!

[photoshopgrl]

So there's the face I keep seeing on all the current media! I was wondering who he was and when he'd come along! And I've seen the name Castiel before but try not to read or pay attention to any current references. He's an angel!? Well that explains how Dean got out of hell. But it doesn't explain the why other than his "God commanded it". This is crazy. No dude, Dean doesn't feel he's worthy of saving. This isn't exactly news!

And what in the hell, Sam! Lying his ass off to Dean. He's got some serious powers! I suppose now that those are God given powers and not demon?? And he's hooked up with a new version of Ruby. Too bad, I liked the other one.

I'm confused and intrigued for sure! Bed for me!

[JYoung]

Ben is really his kid right?

Keep watching.

[Peter000]

Question for those that have seen both the broadcast episodes and the DVDs/Streaming/Downloads... Do they use the same music in both? Or we're they forced to do a WKRP and nix some of the classic rock songs that we used repeatedly in the original broadcast?

[Peter000]

So I went back to check out the pilot, which I hadn't seen since it aired. Besides being kick-ass even the second time around, I was surprised to instantly recognize Sam's gf (Adrianne Palecki from "Friday Night Lights"), and the woman in white (Sarah Sashi from "Fairly Legal" most recently).

"Supernatural" has always been a watch once type of show for me. I may have to reconsider that.

[Enrique]

Damnit Supernatural and their effing cliffhangers! If I were having to wait months to watch the first episode of Season 4 I would be one livid bitch right now. Luckily I'm going right on to it before bed!You're going to love season 4.

I hear classic rock in every episode via Netflix. I swear just hearing that Kansas song that they use in "the road so far" kills me.

And Enrique I can't quote you or I'll see your spoiler but I already love Season 4 and I'm only 1 episode in.

I'm driving to work thinking about the show and the episodes. I have so many questions still. But I won't post them because JYoung will just tell me to keep watching anyhow. ;) I was going to force myself to not watch any tonight so I could get some work done but I'm already feenin' to get home and watch another and I've been at work less than an hour.

Okay a few more thoughts overall then I want to comment on a few individual episodes that I didn't make comments on while watching... (clearly I'm at work being productive today!)

First, I'm looking back and I see the yellow eyed demon is actually gone. I thought throughout the first couple of seasons he was the big bad. The one they'd spend the entire series chasing. I really thought he'd turn out to be the devil. Even after they shot him, I wasn't 100% convinced he was gone. I'm starting to realize now he was just a smaller piece of the puzzle. I still wish I knew what the deal was with their mom saying "you!" as if she knew him when she saw him at the crib. That scene will forever bug me. I'm sure eventually we'll find out, as it was pointed out, this show doesn't do anything without a reason.

Does anything good ever happen for these two? Ever? I love this show but jeesh, their lives are horrible! All they have is each other and Bobby at this point. It's kind of depressing!

Also, why is Dean more special than John? They both basically did the same thing, they sacrificed their souls to hell to save their loved one. Yet, John didn't get pulled out of hell by the hand of God (angel, whichever). Why? Why Dean? There's this little sinking feeling creeping over me that I can't shake and I'll gladly be spoiled if someone knows and wants to tell me I'm wrong. The yellow eyed demon had plans for Sam. Sam clearly has remarkable abilities. But if God didn't give him those, then who did? The devil? So now that Dean has been brought back from hell, is it to stop Sam from taking over the world? Ugh. This show better not pit these two against each other. Someone tell me that never happens. Please.

Two of my favorite episodes happen in Season 4. I'll comment after you get there.

The "problem" with this show is that when you ask us questions, there's really no way we can reply without giving stuff away due to the way the show is written.

Where a show like Lost seemed to just wander about, and make stuff up as they go along, Supernatural really has an overall plan and big picture they are shooting for. Sure there are some eps that don't really advance the story beyond character development, but even then it's hard to make comments.

All I can say is, we are here for you when the time comes. (ohhh, that sounds ominous, doesn't it? :D)

Sean, that does sound ominous. I don't like it. It seems this show goes like this: One is always dying and the other is always sacrificing themselves. One is always lost and the other is always searching for them. One is always lying and the other is always finding out and feeling deceived. I like the episodes they work together and build on their bond so much better. If they pit them good versus evil against each other I might break. I really do not want to see that. I even dislike episodes they bicker in.

And by saying dislike, I mean I think every episode has been good, most really really great but that doesn't mean I felt joy watching them all... maybe that's the point as this isn't really a feel good show, is it?

I guess that's why the show is so frustrating but so satisfying when I get the moments like that first hug after 2 fracking seasons! (and I swear if I read one single "slash" comment I will smack someone as that is in no way what I'm thinking, seeing or wanting with these two)

Speaking of hugs... Oh my how grand was that last one when Sam realized it was indeed Dean. I was literally in tears. I'm so stupid for these characters. I'm sucked right into the show 100%. I might need to seek help at this point.

There was a movie a while back that had a quote that I think is appropriate for this show. This show is like pizza, even when it's bad, it's still pretty good.

The remarkable range of these actors, Jensen in particular, is surprising for a show of this type. This show at it's heart is a road trip story about two brother exploring their relationship. The fact that they are killing monsters and trying to stop the Apocalypse along the way is just fluff. :D

One is always dying and the other is always sacrificing themselves. One is always lost and the other is always searching for them.

This is exactly what I mean. And this is a spoiler: (it doesn't speak to actual events in the show, rather the emotions I believe you will experience over the next two seasons, so don't read it if you think that will ruin anything for you)
Over the course of the next two seasons, you will laugh, you will cry, and you will probably feel gutwrenching anguish for one or both of the brothers.

Does anyone agree/disagree with my emotional assessment?

[photoshopgrl]

That's not a spoiler. I've already felt all that and that's why I know it's only going to get more intense now that we've brought the other side of all this into play (with the angel, since before this it's just been them battling evil).

I keep wanting to make some outrageous, obviously-false spoiler...but given what happens in this show, I'm not sure I can manage.

Is that a spoiler?

[cheesesteak]

Does anything good ever happen for these two? Ever? I love this show but jeesh, their lives are horrible! All they have is each other and Bobby at this point. It's kind of depressing!
There's a tv critic that I like named Mo Ryan. She's currently at the Huffington Post. She was a big fan of the show for most of its run but gave up on it last season because Sam's and Dean's lives were so constantly miserable and unfulfilled. Hope that's not a spoiler.

I know who Mo is. I can't say I usually agree with many of her reviews of other shows I watch. I'm sure she's right about this show. As I said, it's not meant to be a feel good show so I guess knowing it will always be this way, I'll just settle in with my box of tissue and Xanax and revel in the moments of greatness they allow.

You're in Season 4, right?

Just a warning (spoilered in case you don't want to know; advice on how to structure your life as you get to the end of this season): When you watch the season finale, A) Make sure you don't have any sharp implements at hand with which you might do harm to yourself or others; and B) Be aware that you won't be able to power through a few episodes of Season 5 to resolve things; it takes all season.
