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.

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.

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.

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.

Jared Padalecki had a good run in the first 2-3 seasons of Gilmore Girls.

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

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....

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)

Like everything, I downloaded them all in 720p.
I'm itching to watch one right now but I have Mad Men finale to watch too. What to do! What to do!

Ummmm YES. And now that I've seen his fantastic personality on the video below, his hotness and my adoration just increased about 1000x.

OH MY GOD. That is awesome. Are all these outtakes on the BluRays? Anyone know? I'll buy them in a heartbeat to watch in HD instead of youtube searching.
Thank you thank you thank you!

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! ). |
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.

People think I'm joking when I say I don't like this kind of TV. Then I go and fall in love with Supernatural and Vampire Diaries and just make myself look foolish.

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 $$.

I know of three shows that we love in common. I cannot imagine you not liking Buffy/Angel. It seems unpossible.

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>

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.

Oh and WTF has Jared done with his hair? It was so cute, boy next door in this first season. Then I see that quick clip of whatever that season is from (video above) and he is not looking good.

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.

If I'm not mistaken, at least some of that outtake was shown at the end of the episode in question.
