Supernatural Season 2

I’ve charged through Season 2, and think I enjoyed it even more than Season 1.

Favourite episodes – Heart, really sad and angsty ending. I’m definitely a lover of the angst. And my other favourite episode – Tall Tales – I always find it interesting when TV programmes show us the same action from the point of view of different characters.

Absolutely brilliant climax to the season and I am looking forward to Season 3.

In other TV related news, True Blood FINALLY started in the UK. I’m a big fan of the books, so can’t wait to see how they’ve translated to the screen.

Supernatural Season 1

So I finally finished Season 1 of my Supernatural marathon.

I don’t remember seeing any of the episodes before, so I guess the couple of episodes I caught prior to catching the end of Season 4 must have come from either Season 2 or 3.

I love the banter between Dean and Sam. And I especially like how the episodes manipulate you into feeling more scared through the use of lighting and camera work. One of the reasons I never watch horror movies is because my imagination is always working through the scenes amplifying everything.

Season Finale – it doesn’t matter how many times or how many ways I’ve seen that HGV plowing into a car plot device used* – EVERY SINGLE time it gets a reaction. Usually involving whatever liquid I’m drinking going up in the air and over everything. Onto Season 2, and then I’ve really got to dig my Alias box sets out, I never did see past Season 3 of that show and I’d love to know how everything was resolved.

*I’ve seen it on Alias, Medium, The Bionic Woman, Terminator lol. It’s something of a sci-fi favourite.

Supernatural

I didn’t get into this show when it first came out. I’m trying to limit the number of shows I watch (with only some success) so I’ve got more time for writing. But I caught a Season 4 episode of this a few weeks ago. The one where Dean and Sam find out that someone is writing books about them.

And I loved the scene where Dean and Sam are finding out about all the stories written about them, some of them online and they discuss slash fiction - lol. I don’t know of any other show where the characters who are being slashed discuss the fact that they are being slashed.* Just like that I was hooked.

So I’ve treated myself to the Season 1-3 boxset and am furiously catching up on all the episodes I’ve missed. This also helps me pass the time whilst I wait for FX in the UK to get around to showing True Blood. It has to happen soon!

* Okay there were undercurrents between Angel and Spike but never anything as matter of fact as the Supernatural episode.
