I've never watched it, and have not even seen any clips or anything (except for bloopers). I have, however, somehow seen quite a few interview videos of the cast on TikTok, and the way they are together is what really made me want to watch. That, and of course, the fact that I've heard many good things throughout the years. <br /><br />I very much look forward to taking this journey with the added benefit of your thoughts, Billie. I know I will enjoy the addition of the reviews after each episode to further enhance my enjoyment. <br /><br />I don't have any particular thoughts after watching the pilot. I'm not immediately turned off or anything, just not immediately hooked either. Having read your review and the comments, I know to give it a few episodes. I have no doubt that I'll get there. A show that sucks does not spend 15 years on the air. I'm way late to the party, but I get to watch all of it without having to wait during breaks or anything. I'm good with it. :)Amy_BobGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04835182930645266640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-1493667281204847012017-04-04T21:31:52.789-04:002017-04-04T21:31:52.789-04:00Ah okay, sorry, got it.

Out of 11 seasons and 8 episodes of season 12, when I watched in January I only had 2 spoilers which, granted, were pretty big ones, but I find that impressive :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027982158329752966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-30431111949375514412017-04-04T21:25:02.458-04:002017-04-04T21:25:02.458-04:00Puppet James, you didn't post a spoiler!

I'm looking forward to seeing your perspective on a show that has become my favorite in just a few months of watching it.<br /><br />I personally disagree about the 1st season not picking up until halfway through it, though maybe that's just me. When I first started watching it (a friend had been trying to get me to watch it for 10 years lol) I was not impressed with the pilot. Then came Wendigo, and I almost quit watching.<br /><br />And then came the 3rd episode (I forget the title, something with Water) and there was a scene between Sam and Dean that made me laugh out loud for so long that I had to rewind because I missed the whole next scene.<br /><br />At that moment it hit me: this was not a show about fighting monsters, this was not a drama with humor, this was not anything I had thought it was in the first two episodes. This was, in its essence, a show about two brothers and the relationship they would have for however long the show would last.<br /><br />Anyway, thought I would tell you my perspective. From that moment on I was hooked and it soon took the number one spot of favorite shows (after Buffy had been my favorite for 20 years, amazingly enough.)<br /><br />Can't wait to keep reading, and I'll probably continue commenting, so I hope that's okay :)<br /><br />Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, the scene was after Amy Acker left them in front of the motel and Sam asks Dean to list the kids that he knows. Still makes me chuckle just thinking about the interaction between J2.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05027982158329752966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-7253371505172291142017-02-12T16:31:36.559-05:002017-02-12T16:31:36.559-05:00I love supernaturl and I don't get why anyone ...I love supernaturl and I don't get why anyone would not like the show.

If you'd like to check out a standalone <i>Buffy</i> episode or two that would give you some idea of how good it can be, try season two's "Lie to Me" or season three's "Earshot". They're not as amazing as some of the arc episodes, but they're really wonderful.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-14060695253187072982016-01-06T14:00:50.353-05:002016-01-06T14:00:50.353-05:00Misfiled due to older comment.

Oh boy do Sam and Dean look like such babies. Of course, the Mulder/Scully comment made me chuckle (X-Files is my #1). But what I didn't notice until this time is there's another X-Files connection! Joseph Welch was played by Steve Railsback - i.e. Duane Barry!!

I think the only non-season 1 episodes that seemed to freak people out were No Exit (2) and No Rest for the Wicked (3) - nearly all the really scary ones are early season 1 I think! Though some are pretty high on the gross-o-meter - My Bloody Valentine (5) springs to mind! Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.com
