Something "Supernatural"

[jetpack_monkey]

I don't know why, but I had a sudden urge to watch the first episode of "Supernatural" again tonight. I'm a little hard on the show at times, mostly because I'm used to ensemble casts and complex plot arcs. After mainlining the first season last September (the box set was a review copy and they come attached with due dates on occasion), I was left with the feeling that, while it was a solid show, the lasting appeal just wasn't there.

Man, I was dumb.

This show rocks. My roommate and I blew through the four episodes on Disc 1 in what amounted to a single sitting (with a brief break between episodes two and three to get chocolate malts from Sonic). I love the clean through line, the simplicity of the set-up and the skill with which the show mixes American mythology with the Winchester dynamic. Oh and the music. The music is just gold.

Why did I ignore you, friendslist, when you were shoving the Brothers Winchester toward me at every possible opportunity? Why did I spend nine months as a non-"Supernatural" fan? I want to repent for my silly misjudgement by adding Winchester icons to my journal and buying Season Two on DVD when it comes out (although I'll probably wait and see if I can get it free again).

Also, Sera Gamble (writer for the series) is like my dream woman.

I can chide myself for missing Season 2, but this last television season, I didn't watch crap. Not Heroes, not Veronica Mars, not Lost or Jericho or any of that good stuff. So really, I didn't miss out anymore than I would have if I were already a fan.

Still. *want*

Don't bother wasting your time on Veronica Mars S3. Seriously.

But I highly recommend Heroes and SPN S2.

Seriously? Because I caught the first five eps and while it wasn't stellar, I rather liked Piz and welcomed the addition of Mac as a regular.
