A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
am I the only one who thinks killing off Dad Winchester is a great heaping pile of mistake?
Yes and no. Because, on the one hand, it's not gonna be three guys in the car throughout the season, and they needed a reason to get John out of the way at least temporarily. On the other hand, once a person is dead, the argument you have with him become kind of one-sided and repetitive. On the third hand, instant angst! On the fourth hand, they don't have any other tools that can drive the storyline nearly as effectively.
(My thought was, he was going to be fuuuuuucked up from the car crash, and stuck in a hospital for 6 months. Which, isn't nearly as dramatic or final as the dirt nap, but performs the same narrative function, at least in the short term.)
I suppose since he was killed in a supernatural sort of way, there's always the possibility of reviving him, or having Evil!Dead!Possessed!John as a character for a while. Or Ghost Dad, anyway.
Loved
the ouija scene.
Would really like to see that Reaper again. Dean could really use a girlfriend....
I know that they killed off Daddy Winchester. . . but part of me thinks that we may see him again.
Anyway, his show with Shonda Rhimes has been postponed. At least he's doing film stuff.
I loved the ouija board stuff too. I loved that fight between Sam and Daddy Winchester with ghostly!Dean in the middle -- I'm sure that it echoed the big fight that Sam and his dad had when he went off to college.
Was Ben Edlund an Executive Producer no SPN last year? Because I was a bit surprised to see his name. (So, I'm thinking -- no. . . but I'm also capable of incredible feats of unobserviness.)
Also, am naturally DYING to know what it is that John knew about Sammy.
I'm pretty sure Edlund wasn't -- that's for sure good news, in my book. (Though if anyone had asked me, I'd have added him to the producing roster for
Eureka
which I am so determined will have a second season....)
Last year Edlund was working on
Point Pleasant.
Obviously, they had his hands tied or we would have had a better first season and, possibly, a second. I liked the premise, but the show was less than thrilling.
"Working on" doesn't mean "was responsible for the creation of." I don't think anyone tied his hands; it wasn't his job to fix the show.
I didn't say it was. I was attempting to compliment Ben Edlund in his writing.
