And I agree on Benny and the First Vampire and vampires in general as well - though I also quite liked the one played by Amber Benson.

I am a dog person and that one just didn't work for me. But... one of my good friends absolutely loved it! She really enjoyed how Jensen got into it; how he sometimes spoke and communicated like he was barking; stuff like that. Continuing the dog theme, I really didn't like Man's Best Friend with Benefits. And outside of Benny and the First Vampire (the one captured by the Campbells), I'm not fond of how they portray vampires. It just leaves me cold (maybe because I'm too much of a Buffy fan).Heather1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09736870202194851186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68433032996661949292014-11-27T08:14:10.695-05:002014-11-27T08:14:10.695-05:00Heather, funnily enough I was thinking about which...Heather, funnily enough I was thinking about which I find the worst episodes of Supernatural the other day! I quite like some most others hate - for me the absolute low point of the series is definitely Dog Dean Afternoon.

What is and What Should Never Be......Wow, Juliette! What is and What Should Never Be... I just re-watched that the other day. God, I fee for those Winchester boys. Billie, I think I... must... have to... go watch Born Under a Bad Sign right now! I meant to mention as well the appearance of Chuck at the end if Fan Fiction. I literally called out to him from my couch! And you know, I tried to imagine anyone else appearing... John... my lovely Kevin... Bobby... Jo (can't watch Abandon All Hope either... although I have watched it all the way through)... but no, it had to be Kevin. He was the author, after all. I noticed quite a few articles online, in preparation for the show's 200th episode, lists of the best, worst, etc. It would be great to have a Doux Reviews list(s) of Supernatural episodes... your readers and reviewers... their all time favourites (even not so favourites).Heather1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09736870202194851186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-62005340888813564972014-11-26T18:02:17.299-05:002014-11-26T18:02:17.299-05:00Heather, I'm exactly the same - I love New Gir...Heather, I'm exactly the same - I love New Girl and was hooked on it during season 2, but I watch Supernatural before anything else now. :) I liked season one a lot because I love ghost stories, but the episode that was the first that made me think 'actually, I think this is a great episode that I'll return to again' was probably What Is Now and Should Never Be (er, I may have remembered that title wrong - the genie one!). I mostly re-watch seasons 3 4 and 5 and Lazarus Rising is absolutely my favourite episode ever, even though I was completely spoiled for it!<br /><br />This was another round of 'I thought this would be terrible but it's actually quite good!'. I'm mostly excited to see Jimmy mentioned again - I head-canoned that he was allowed to go to heaven and the body given entirely to Castiel after Swan Song, but if the show's going to provide an actual answer that's cool too. Castiel/Hannah/Caroline's story was my favourite of this ep by far and I loved the way Hannah was developed and the fact she cared about her vessel - and she's still alive! If not on Earth. Rowena bored me a bit up till the end, and I found it hard to believe Cole was convinced. And poor Dean :( When he said he knew where he was going, I wondered if he also meant that he thinks he's going back to Hell when he dies - he literally knows (though actually that would go for Heaven too!).Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-3839490354809910742014-11-26T16:17:53.643-05:002014-11-26T16:17:53.643-05:00The only other show that even came close to unders...The only other show that even came close to understanding their relationship with their fans was "Chuck"... and as much as I loved that show, it couldn't keep it together at the end. It is amazing that Supernatural is still strong, fresh and true 10 seasons in! And Billie, you are right, Born Under a Bad Sign and Tall Tales are fantastic! My other perpetual favourite (among many many more) is Dark Side of the Moon. There are alot of episodes that I go back to time and again; they're like old friends: The French Mistake; Changing Channels; The Born-Again Identity; anything with Death; I smiled all the way through the 200th episode (setting it in, not just a school, but an all-girls school... absolutely brilliant); Time After Time (for the scene when Dean meets Elliot Ness and his note à la Back to the Future)... Oh I could go on, but that is probably a subject for another day. One last thing: the one episode I have never watched all the way through is the finale of Season 3. I can't take it that Dean goes to Hell, even though he comes back.

I remember the two episodes together that made me realize that <i>Supernatural</i> wasn't just good, but great: season two's "Born Under a Bad Sign" and "Tall Tales". That's when I decided I absolutely had to review it.<br /><br />And nothing had better happen to Jody Mills.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-21297561988102358942014-11-26T12:35:21.584-05:002014-11-26T12:35:21.584-05:00Felt compelled to make another, general Supernatur...Felt compelled to make another, general Supernatural comment. I didn't follow the show in the beginning. A few people told me about it, and my god daughter lent me her DVD set of Seasons 1 through 3 if I'm not mistaken. Like so many before, I was not impressed at first. The pilot wasn't bad... but Wendigo? Ugh. I would have given up. Wendigo was horrible. On paper (at that point), the show really didn't have the elements that spoke to me (road trips, muscle cars, guys, small town America, American "lore" (the Colt, as in a Western vibe, guns)... nothing bad... just not really in my wheelhouse). However, I had the DVDs and figured, What the heck? So glad I did. By the time Season 4 and my all time favourite episode, Lazarus Rising, aired, I was completely hooked. For a while I was completed hooked on New Girl, but where I live New Girl airs at 9 on Tuesdays (same as Supernatural)... so I have to watch Supernatural. It just goes to show that shows really need that time to find themselves and an audience. Firefly never got that chance. Hannibal almost didn't get that chance. And some shows were either never really all that good, have worn out their welcome, or aren't that innovative to begin with IMO, even if they are good (I'm looking at you, Big Bang Theory). But Supernatural? It is in a class all by itself. The only thing that would make it better is a strong female presence. So... nothing better ever happen to Jody Mills!!Heather1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09736870202194851186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-8967077086875704122014-11-26T12:24:37.967-05:002014-11-26T12:24:37.967-05:00Aaaahh... this show. It is truly my favourite. I&#...Aaaahh... this show. It is truly my favourite. I'll admit, I wasn't expecting Crowley to say, "Mother". It was clear he knew her, but I was more expecting him to simply say, "Rowena", indicating to us that they had a past. Of course, this would not have had the impact that "Mother" did. I was also puzzled by the fact that Jimmie Novak is listed as missing. I would have expected an obituary. After all, Jimmie was dying when Castiel left Jimmie's daughter's body to rejoin Jimmie. But I suppose anything is possible in the Supernatural universe. And while we have been deprived of yet another love interest for Castiel (poor Meg), I was heartened to see Hannah's unselfish choice.Heather1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09736870202194851186noreply@blogger.com
