is the obvious assumption supposed to be that the Ceiling Demon is Sam's father?

I was about to post that OF COURSE DADDY WINCHESTER IS NOT THE CEILING DEMON.

Then I decided to try rereading, and you know what? Don't break my familial bonds, yo. While it wouldn't be as bad as having Sloane be Sydney's dad, I would still have to mourn.

last night's episode changed my moderate "like" for Supernatural into full blown LOVE. that REO Speedwagon scene totally had me dying.

I totally understand that, but I can't otherwise figure out why that scene was in the previouslies. Because it was never mentioned; all they talked about was the part where the demon said he had "plans" for Sam and children like him.

Well, Dean spilled ALOT of secrets last night. Interesting the one he held onto, isn't it?

I think THAT'S why that scene was in there.

Hee. I am certainly leaning more toward an S1 mainline in the near future. Except I've been planning an Office mainline as well, and I don't know which to do first. I mean, at least I'm already watching SPN. I should probably catch up with that first before adding a new show.

Go, The Office. Choose The Office. They're only half hour episodes, which are not much more than 20 minutes, sans commercials. The first season was only six episodes long. You'll be done before you know it.

But aha, on principle, I choose to watch the UK version first! So that adds more to the whole endeavor.

It only adds 15 episodes. That's ~ 1/3 of a season of SPN. That said, I'd recommend watching the UK version second.

I don't understand the need to watch the UK version, personally. the first season of it and the US version is for all intents and purposes exactly the same. except, unbelievably, that Michael is more likeable than David.

i've tried to watch the UK version and it just doesn't do it for me. Gareth and David are too cringe-worthy for me. whereas Dwight and Michael are cringe-worthy, but also funny a lot of the time. especially Dwight. Gareth just gave me the creeps.

You and I are agreed about some of the differences in the US vs. UK Offices, but disagree about what it means. I think the UK version is a far nastier show because David Brent is perhaps a nicer (I know!), but more misguided person than Michael Scott. The US version make Scott fairly malevolant and unconcerned with his actions, which, in turn, makes it easier to see him as a monster. David Brent is as much a monster, but also more recognizably human and more consumed by his need to please, with all the cringeworthy humor associated with that.

I also think the arc of the UK version is also more satisfying as a whole, and the two shows diverge enormously after the 2nd US episode. None of this is to say that I think the US version is unworthy of attention; it just has a lower pain-to-pleasure ratio than the UK version, and I found the pain to be as instructive as the pleasures were cathartic in the original. UK: A+. US: A-.

I didn't get an EW vibe.

I got a total Bradley Cooper vibe.

Okay. Maybe that's where I got the "I've seen him before" thing. He was the unholy psychic lovechild of Frodo and Will Tippin.

You guys are so mean, going on and on about the parts of the episode where I couldn't hear anything. Argh. I really am going to have to "locate" a sound-intact copy of the episode, aren't I?
