Wash ,'Bushwhacked'
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.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I loved the Pilot and Wendigo--Dean taunting the wendigo is awesome. I recorded this week's ep and am going to start watching them while simultaneously catching up on Season 1.
hmmm. I'm not sure this is the best place to do that, though I'm not sure where would be a good place. You may end up asking a lot of questions, which of course would be cool.
BTW, PBS in Chicago is going to show The Ruby in the Smoke on Masterpiece Theatre tonight -- which stars: Billie Piper.
That's done already? I had no idea.
I'd watch that.

I'm eyeballing the season pass on itunes for season 2.
Reading The Dresden Files, loving every minute of it. Realizing just how much more awesome the show would be with all the nuances/flavors/aspects existing in just the first two books. The show is like an alt universe. I think the electricity thing would have been awesome to keep. Yummy lighting by candlelight, Harry walking down a hallway and lightbulbs poofing out dramatically. Maybe more of that will come into play later on-- I don't think they've painted themselves into a corner on that matter. . . yet.
Even the books state that speaking the incantations aloud are merely a way to fine-tune the spells, and I've always found them to be silly to hear, so I don't miss that. The soul-gazing seems to be a big thing to lose, however.
And I thought the character torture in the show was fun! *starts Shallow Grave*
Have you guys noticed how they've changed the BSG promo that goes "One will . . . one will ,. . . etc" - now it's "One will die, one will fulfill their destiny One will find earth ". Interesting.
Oh, lord. Just reading this is making me tear up with Winchester love.
God. Dean slays me. But he didn't at all, initially. It was Faith that made me start to get the Dean-love, I think, and then the Wicked Kiddie-eating Witch episode just broke me into wee pieces. Although...when was the going-back-to-their-house episode? With the calling-John? Because, crumbs, that was OWCHy.
Um. So - yeah. All my flail are belong to the Winchesters.
fwiw, wrt the blonde/brunette thing, almost all the female characters I can think of off the top of my head are brunette - Not!Fred, Sheriff CompetentLady, WendigoBaitSisterChick, Cassie...
Incidentally, I liked Cassie. I thought the actress's delivery of some of the lines was so-so, but she was gorgeous and I bought the chemistry.

...um, I also really liked Cassie's mum, actually. (And the berieved husband from the pilot episode - I thought he was fab.)
My mind is working on why the thing that killed their mother would come back and kill Sam's GF.
I always figured it was to keep Sam alone and detached from the rest of the world. Or something. It doesn't work well, but I cling to it like a tiny rubber floaty thing in a big, big ocean.

I just went back in time to see when I started saying, "Oh, Dean." an awful lot. It appears to have started with Dead in the Water. And then I was doomed.
