Yes, Supernatural. It's just -- there's all this conflict and things aren't just black and white.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Not seen any of it. Heard S1 is a bit slow. Does it have pretty for boys?
S1's first section's a little uneven, though not what I'd call slow. Starting with Home (can't remember the ep number), it picks up and just snowballs through the end of the season to a big messy explosion of pain (tempered with some serious funny) that we like to call S2.
Female guest stars have included Amy Acker, Julie Benz, and some other Hot Chicks. Alona Tal's been recurring this season. It's not lacking for pretty girls, but it's a show about two very, very, very pretty guys. And a pretty car. And some other stuff, too.
It sucks out my brain and turns me into Derek Zoolander.
I love it so.

Home is episode 9, so that's pretty early in the season. The first episodes are based on urban legends and it's a bit...repetitive, but the monsters start to vary and the characters grow and the relationship between Dean and Sam gets better.
I missed an episode so now I have to go back and watch.

The season one eps that really stand out in my head as being OMGFLAIL worthy are probably Phantom Traveler, Bloody Mary (so freakin' creepy), Home, Faith, Asylum, Scarecrow, Shadow, Dead Man's Blood, Devil's Trap, The Benders, and Nightmare.
There may be more.
I think Croatoan was probably the weakest S2 episode (I like Jo, and therefore loved No Exit), but even then, all of S2 falls under OMGFLAIL.

I somehow missed The Benders so now I'm watching it. Awww, Dean saying he felt responsible to protect Sam.
Bloody Mary totally freaked me out. Scarecrow was good, he whole talk of family and sacrifice by the stupid townspeople and them not really knowing what it is (compared to what we see between Dean and Sam and John). The best part of Shadow was the end.
The other thing I love about Supernatural is that I normally can't watch horror movies but I am interested in some of them, and now I can watch scary movies without being too freaked out.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yes! Here, have a Supernatural post. It's a fun show, Kevin. I don't really flail about it, but it's quality entertainment.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
PC - You sold me. Also, the LiveJournal post was teh funney, which helped. I think I'll ahem the first season. I did vaguely spy on the online posts when it first started airing, and the general feeling at the time was Monster-Of-The-Week, but it sounds like that changed.

Yay! I love when my pimpings posts are effective.

Yeah, there's definitely more to it than that, but I enjoy that aspect anyway.

I felt the same way about the MoW for the first 5-6 episodes, but then it grabbed me by the tear ducts (ow) and hasn't let me go.
