Ness Supernatural First Watch

I made a deal with Kelly, so now I'm watching this beast of a show.  Just finished the pilot episode.

I love Jeffrey Dean Morgan so seeing his face show up as the dad was pleasant.  He's so damn pretty that I guess I can forgive him for being Negan.  Hopefully he shows up again at some point and the whole show isn't just the brothers looking for him.

The way the mom died was pretty freaky, but the bit with the girlfriend dying the same way the mom did was painfully predictable.  I'm going to need this show to step it up in the originality department.

I do have to say that the special effects are top notch for a tv show.  The way the ghosts kids took her away was pretty fantastic.  What year did the show start?  I'm trying to decide if it's old enough that I need to be a little impressed or extra impressed.

It's going to be very confusing for me to call Dean from Gilmore Girls Sam.  I may just refer to them as Dean 1 (Gilmore Girls Dean) and Dean 2 (Supernatural Dean).

He really, really, really is.
I'm fairly obsessed with him.
Funny thing is, I knew him as John Winchester before I knew him as Negan, so for me seeing TWD is all "John, what have you become?"

LMFAO oh, originality is not something it will have an issue with.

2005? I think?

Yeah, when you told me that Sam was called Dean on another show, I died

But SPN Dean is definitely Dean 1. He's older. Even though he's shorter.

Gilmore Girls Dean has been Dean since 2000, so he is Dean number 1.

Finished episodes 2 and 3. Still waiting for the originality. So far it's very formulaic. Meet pretty girl. Pretty girl has Male family member in trouble. Save Male family member and receive gratitude from pretty girl.

Oh come on.... Just started ep 4 and the dude that just opened the plane door mid flight has me annoyed. That's not actually a thing that's even possible to do once in the air...

I told you, it's like Doctor Who S1. You're at the farting aliens right now.

Lmfao, they really just ripped off the girl from the ring in this bloody Mary episode. Starting ep 6, probably wont finish it tonight though... still waiting for it to get good.

Episode 9 is when I started to pay attention.

Warning, episode 8 is so fucking bad that it's a fandom in-joke.

But, episode 9 it's when it starts to get away from Formula-Ep, Formula-Ep, Formula-Ep and begins letting you see the real story arc.

Really? 7 isnt the worst episode? Not even 10 minutes in and they've managed to hit most of the stupid teen horror flick tropes... the dude with the fucki g hook ha d was laughable.

LMFAOOO oh no. 8 is the worst episode. I promise.

Seriously there are even meta inside jokes about it in later episodes.

That's why you have to watch it and can't skip it, you have to realize the full absurdity of it.

Huh, my first post edit button disappeared. Guess the description is stuck that way forever now.

I'm on ep 8 and Kelly asked me to live blog it.

Opening scene with the bugs, gross. Also the camera work trying to depict the shaking ground was fucking atrocious.

Mad cow?!

Wait a second.. did they just have a 5 minute conversation while driving and only drive like 100 feet?

LMAO

Have I mentioned that I'm not fond of insects. This episode is gross.

Steam showers, though...

Why would you stick your hand in there Dean #2? That's gross.

HE IS DEAN # 1 COME ON

Lmao, I love this old native American dude.

"You're lying"

"I like him, hes not a liar"

Also of course... Indian burial ground... not predictable at all

That had to have been the shortest night ever. And props to Dean #2s never ending can of bug spray.

And done.

I still say 7 and 8 are equally terrible episodes.

LOL good times.

Finished episode 9. There was some definite improvement in this episode. Nice addition to the main storyline, even though it still a little bit followed the formula.

Loretta Devine as the psychic was fantastic. I love her in pretty much everything though. Excellent casting choice. I hope we see her regularly.

The dad shows up. I think it's BS that he wont help them. There can be no good reason for this, even if he is Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Dean #2s plea over voicemail was heartbreaking.

I think that whatever killed the mom must be either linked to or specifically after Dean#1 somehow. Too many signs point to him. Mom died in his room. Then his girlfriend meets the same fate. He's got special abilities to dream the future. The way his dad treated him for wanting to be normal instead of a monster hunter. Yep, this whole thing is about him somehow.

Yesssss now a plot begins to emerge, and you're picking up on things.

I'm not saying every episode will now be fucking fantastic, but it's an improvement from here until at least the end of S5 (show takes a slight dip in S6, then recovers).

By the time S2 starts, even the "formula" bits are overlaid by heavy plot development and story arc. You're done with pointless "just going to ride around in the car and do shit" episodes.

Working on episode 11. Dean#1 says "you just blindly follow him no matter what he says. Dean#2 says "yeah, its called being a good son".

I was contemplating changing their names to Tall Dean and Short Dean... but now I think I'm going to go with Smart Dean and Stupid Dean.

Dean has daddy issues. Not his fault.

Really it's all about John Winchester's A+ Parenting.

Fixed it for you.

Lmao at stupid dean getting literally driven out of town by the sheriff

Yeah I'm not going to allow you to call him that.

He's not stupid. He's just very loyal to his family.

My thread. I'll call him what I want. Blind loyalty is stupid.

Also... OH SNAP. Hitchhiker chick is hooked up with the demon

Started ep 12.... and he just electrocuted himself lol

OH this is a good episode.

It was a good ep. Maybe I will lay off of stupid Dean a little. He was the one who knew to be skeptical of faith healers.

Tall dean and short dean it is.

LMFAO.

The show gets so good, Ness.

You're SO EARLY.

Car chases are fun and all, but it feels like we have gone back to aimlessly driving around again.

Oh shut, telekinetic kids mom died the same way??? Now we're talking.

I did tell you that we stop being formula episode and start being arc-plot.

This pic is actually a meme about John's terrible parenting.

I can't stop

"John Winchester's A+ Parenting" is actually a tag on pinterest.

Lmfao

I'm on Season 3, Episode 7. This season fucking sucks. Please tell me it gets better at some point. Lauren Cohan is apparently only any good in The Walking Dead. That's disappointing.

LMAO It gets better. And S3 is extremely short, so it will be over soon. S4/S5 are a major two-season arc with huge stakes and lots of fun shit.
And you meet someone extremely important in the premiere of S4, the third main character.


And the end of S3 is pretty fun.
