Seeing as how they've already shown a total of 9 episode, including the pilot, Now's as good a time as any to share our thoughts about the show.

Aside from Sam and Dean being the hottest ghost hunters on the planet. :lol:

American right? Never heard of it, although the city Winchester is in the UK near London, is it set in England or is there more than one Winchester? :unsure:

Winchester is the family name for the brothers in the series.

I'll post pics at some point for everyone.

I saw an episode during my time in LA, and those bros are really hottt. Post some, hub!!! :hugy:

As requested, it's piccie time!

The older brother Dean, played by Jensen Ackles.

The younger brother Sam, played by Jared Padalecki.

Ive tried to watch the show (umm hello Jared Padalecki) but it hasnt really caught my interest yet.. until of course Jared gets shirtless.. then i will definately be watching it more.


Just not my type of show.

You are definitely not the only one waiting for Jared to start showing some skin on the show.

I really don't see how it's fair that Jensen gets to show off but not Jared.

Jensen shirtless




yeah im DEFINATELY a fan of his. <3

Jared (.. about to be shirtless)



such a darn tease!

I watched the pilot because all the advertisement sparked my interest. Their mom burst into flames, and I was hooked. I can't watch shows that are simply people dealing with each other--I need some other element.

I'm loving the show. I really like the dynamic between the brothers.

It amuses me how Sam is always the damsel in distress. :lol:

And the one to take the pounding by whatever nasties they're dealing with.

Like getting strangled with a stray electrical cord. I'm sorry, but that part in "Home" made me laugh.

I like how it's scary, but not tooo scary. Because hello, *points to self* overly active imagination.

But I don't get what their dad's problem is. Eh, we'll have to watch and find out.

What always makes me laugh is the way the brothers snipe at each other.

Like the "jerk - bitch" bit in the pilot.

Exactly. I love how they're so playful with each other.



... Wait. That came out wrong.

:hee: brothers playing. With each other, That sounds very wrong. :clap: ^_^


I'm still not sure what its about. But I'm I right in thinking that, these brothers are like ghost hunters who try and find the evil that killed their mother, but always end up helping other people with their ghost problems, and its not until the end of the season we get to the end of the whole season arc?

I watch the episode about the insane asylum (it was either last week, or the week before) and had my eyes covered MOST of the time, except with Dean (Jensen) was shirtless.

scary, scary stuff. But GOOD. I'm starting to like it, as long as somebody else watches it with me.

I'm still having some issues with the entire Sam shoots Dean part. Yes, I know Sam was being influenced by the creepy doctor, but still and all.

Sam: "I'm going to shoot you because I want to KEEL you!"
Dean: "Wait, you don't have real bullets in there."
Sam: "I know. These won't kill you. I'll just shoot you anyways... just 'cause."

TV sometimes. (N)

That episode reminded of one ep of "Haunted," the show with Foxy before he was on Lost. Something about asylums, ghosts, and curious protagonists. :thinky:

I adore this show
It can tend to scare the hell out of me
Being a fan of Buffy the vampire slayer I missed my supernatural/fantasy show

the last ep was a bit problematic with the whole shooting thing
but I am hoping it will cause more silbling troubles - how can it not?

I am rather miffed that it is on hiatus until January what is the WB thinking? They have a gret show thats doing well for them and they but it on hold??? I am already fuming over Prison Break's hiatus until MArch

I need my eye candy!!!!!

Starting tonight, the WB is repeating all the prior episodes for thos who may have joined in late.

to Jan. 1. The show will air from 9-10 p.m. on Sunday, Dec.25,
Tuesday, Dec. 27, Wednesday, Dec. 28, Thursday, Dec. 29, and on
Sunday, Jan. 1.

Thanks for the schedule.

This will be a good chance for people to get caught up on it.

But why they aren't showing them in order is beyond me.

I just caught the reshowing of "Bloody Mary." Kind of wishing I didn't watch that, because I have a big ol' mirror over my bed. Bloody Mary looked like Samara from The Ring. *shudders*

At least I can catch up on the ones I missed now. *thumbs up*

hey it's such a coincidence.. well, i saw an add for this show just tonight. I think it's coming soon to tellie. something about a lake that no one knows about, yet there seems to be an unusually large number of people going there. anyway, besides from that plot hole LOL, i want to see it.

All I have to say about "Scarecrow" is... WTF was up during the last three minutes?!?!

I finally saw it last night. Something about the Woman In White, the first episode I gather. Yeah the show is pretty good. The only thing that I found slightly creepi were the chicks on the ceilings, which I have an inkling to think that it's Sam's (is that his name? haha) fault, because they were both people he was close to. Yeah, I shall be watching it from now on...

Its being shown in England on ITV2 in a few weeks. The channel is a little vain and they pick crap shows normally so fingers crossed this is a change in the trend and it's good.

I just saw the first episode tonight and I was really impressed. It's got the creepy factor of The X Files with the humour of Buffy & Angel. Not to mention the guys are pretty damn hot.

I'm looking forward to seeing what different ghost stories they're going to put their own spin on over the coming weeks. :nany:

I can't believe they're changing the day it airs over here in the US. It's now being moved to Thursdays after Smallville starting in mid-March.

Are they trying to kill this show? Since Thursday at 9PM has it going against the top-rated show in the States.

I've seen a few episodes, not overly keen. :( Yes if it's on I will watch it no problem, just find it a bit too "male" for my tastes.

Maybe it gets better? :unsure:

What is on Thursday at 9PM thats really high rated?

I did hear that the WB and UPN were coming together so is it likely Supernatural will get another season?

Thanks to Pat, I'm now hooked on this show - I just had to download it too find out where the idea for a certain story came from. I love this sort of thing, I've been fascinated by all things supernatural since I was a little kid, now I get to watch spooky goings on while drooling over two gorgeous guys. Who could ask for more?

I've only watched the first 7 eps so far, (and that was just last week) but I'm sure I'll catch up by the end of this week.

For the second time I write this again :lol:


Seen 4 so far, its OK, a mix between Buffy/Angel/Smallvile and then loads of hour long films crammed into a 42 min slot. Last night it was a plane plot one, and I was thinking "hello final destination!"

They tapped the market with two guys who come across as really homoerotic, but you know they arent gay at all cos they are brothers. :hee: But its clever doing it like that.

Biggest flaw like LOST is the "daddy issues" everyone seems to have :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :unsure: :unsure: , I just find it old, boring and above all DONE. America seems to be the only country in the world that goes on about it in almost all of its TV shows. WHY???

I'll be watching more unless something else at that time is on or I'm out. ^_^

I think the reason American shows have the "daddy issues" is because people relate to that sort of thing. Otherwise they wouldn't do it. It does get old, though.

I for one loved Sam and Dean dressed up as priests in "Nightmare." Rawr. :hee:

American culture is werid at best. Violent films come in bulk from America a study showed something like 90% of aggressive films are made there. :o It's a country thats basically run by religion and is naturally conservative by nature.

Personally I think "daddy" issues are linked to the idea of the "american god", and how americans sometimes fail what god want's them to be.

Of course maybe sons/daughters do have a massive link to their fathers :unsure: , over here in England I dont think that's true, yeah we respect our parents, but I cant honestly say I have "issues" because my dad didnt kiss me good night or something :hee: .

The daddy issues do annoy me especially in LOST, because it's mixed in with sexist behaviour all the time :rolleyes: its very "Your a male so you should act like this, its natural and normal to be like this" from my perspective it looks awfully constricting, and I feel sorry or even pity for the males of America who are "made" in that way.

I've seen parts of that in Supernatural, with the boys and the way they act with the victims (who seem to always be women :hee: ) but it doesnt seem to be overly bad....

My guess is that the producers want to give the public what they THINK they want, perhaps if they changed the format it might do better? Who knows.

Blimey you can tell you're a Psych student!

Why do you have to read so many things into stuff. There's nothing wrong with just watching a TV show and enjoying it without disecting every little thing about it.

It reminds me of English lessons at school where you'd take a book to pieces to work out why a character did something and what their reasons were instead of just enjoying the bloody thing. Think that's part of the reason why I don't read as much as I used to.

Anyway I'm digressing, I've been pretty impressed so far with Supernatural. They do tend to borrow a lot from shows of a similar genre such as Buffy/X-Files but they give it a new spin I think. The Bloody Mary ep has been my fave so far but we're only about half a dozen (if that) eps into the season so I'm sure that'll change as the show goes on.

Mainly because... well Dom says it best "Living is easy with eyes closed"

If You just accept things as "normal" and never question them then nothing changes, history has shown more than anything that humans in the past werent always "right" they had beliefs that today have been proven "wrong", 100 years ago women didnt even have the right to vote for example.

I'm always looking at the social constructions in life and looking at them in more detail, than simply being passive to them. If that's a crime then I'm guilty big time :hee:

I still enjoy shows like supernatural, I just try not to let what's being shown to me as "fact" become something natural. (Pun away my dears :hee: )

Sorry I also dont agree :hee:

As soon as you just watch something and dont question what your watching you become what the show wants you to become. Why do you think some americans are so blinkered about the 'real world'? Fox news doesnt show any other countries issues, ask any american what bird flu is, or were there terrorist attacks in Spain and Egypt last year, and I expect most wont have a clue.

I dont feel that knowing that media like TV shows are 'fake' ruins my enjoyment of them, why should it? :unsure: At school I found it fun to read more into books, it's part of learning. I suppose in the end you can live a closed mind sort of life, or you can be open minded to everything and truly 'live'.


In Supernatural talk, last night was a shocking rip off of that urban talk of hook man :lol: love that look Jenson gives. //shudders//

Maybe I didn't explain myself properly in my last post. Sure I question things from a plot perspective, I often yell at the TV when someone does something completely stupid/unbelievable.

What I was getting at was there are fans who love to take shows apart and work out the hidden meanings behind everything that crops up on screen - but to be brutally honest I can't be arsed.

I watch TV shows like Supernatural to be entertained and not have to put all that much thought into watching. If I wanted something thought provoking I'd watch a documentary.

I think we both get what you were saying, but from our perspective (I think) we see ourselves and the world around us by all forms of media, the paper gives us news, TV shows tell us what Love and humanity ought to be etc the point (I'm trying to make at least) is that just by watching supernatural you are shaped by it's values and beliefs even if you claim to be just watching it for "fun".


Simple example.


If all TV shows you watched were sexist in that men were always in postions of power (Jack/Locke Dean/Sam etc) then where would you get any imput that women could also be in power? You can still argue what you were watching was "fun" :Wink1: but at the same time know that what you are watching is only fiction and not a true reality only the one inside the media.


Why do boys like guns more than girls? Why do girls like the idea of love more than boys? (not true of everyone :Floater: , but there is a difference between genders, and you have to ask where that difference comes from)

Being a student that is doing a module based on media atm i can totally see that the media plays a HUGE part in our lives!!! And i personally think ur wrong!!! Tv plays a big part in the way we see things i.e. the war on Iraq - without the media we'd have a very miniscule idea of what went on out there, and despite the info we do get is very selective we do generally get the gist of it. Also everything we buy is goverened by what the media shows us i.e. ipod, new car etc, so to say that the media doesn't affect our world is a pile of codswallop!!! The media plays a huge part whether we like it or not and to deny that it does is just plain ignorance.

It may not rule our lives but it does have its part to play. Media is available to us 24 hrs a day either through the tv, radio, internet, poster, newspapers, billboards...u name it. PEople buy newspapers and magazines to see whats happening in the world and sometimes are so convinced by what it is said that it becomes their bible.

We as consumers of the media shape it as much as it shapes us!!!

Peace out people!!!! Think about what auntie cam has said!!!

:wave:

Yeah lol what they said. :dancy:

Wheee, a discussion about media!

Well, let me for one (Film and Television Studies Masterstudent) say that television is not your average medium. It is in your house, in your livingroom, your bedroom, it is in the most private part of your lives (as opposed to internet/computer, which usually has its place in a study)

I'm not a big "Television influences the lives of its audience"-shipper, since this sort of influence isn't measurable. But you can't ignore TV as creator of an "effect" in people. Loads of people wake up with television, and go to bed with it: it brings them a view of the world (whether an accurate/realistic or fake/dramatised one, I leave out of the question) it brings them entertainment. And yes, TV shows can just be entertainment, but they MEAN something to you. To all of you, whether you like the show or not.

You could identify with the show, you can use it to make sense of the world (Rich is a perfect example of this, I think), you can use it to show other people who you are and what you stand for.

...Dang, lost my train of thought... But I believe I made my point anyways. Will post more when the thoughts return.
