I truly don't think there is anything like official real-world werewolf canon, particularly because it's a folk belief in far too many cultures and countries so that you can find total contradictions. But thanks to Lon Chaney Jr et alia, there's at least some common Western media-influenced canon to consider.

I'm definitely of the "wait a month and see what turns up" school, too. But aside from that, I'd be hatching schemes to drive to places that you'd need a 6+ hour hike to get to other humans on those problematic nights.

Also, given that Madison stayed from turning during the night she stayed awake wouldn't some gentle experimentation next month with caffeine and amphetamines and a solidly locked room be in order?

Yes, take a week off, stay up all night, sleep all day and then re-adjust.

But see, there would have been fewer manly tears from the boys if they did THAT.

Oh, and I liked that the werewolfs didn't morph into bad cgi or bad costume monsters -- they were very minimal.

butbutbut...she wasn't asleep when she attacked Sam while she was tied up. right? or am i misrembering?

No, I think you're right. Darn it, why did they make a point of the sleeping thing if it was meaningless?

Yeah, and why would it have worked that way? Aside from upping the Sam angst....

hate to break it to you, Cindy, but 80s music has now been deemed "classic". just listen to your "oldies" stations. they include 80s now. makes me feel old.

But they're metal. Metal != Classic Rock. I don't care about the years so much as the music.

I will say, although this episode brought the emo (and the Queensryche!),

Which, you know, amuses me, as I had Jilli burn me a bunch of Queensryche for the casefile where I'm planning Mary Sueing my 'hood. So it's like my writing soundtrack got Kripked!

But they're metal. Metal != Classic Rock. I don't care about the years so much as the music.

I think Jilli would argue that they're actually more on the Goth End of Things, as they wanted to be the Next Sisters of Mercy instead of the Next t Insert Metal Band Here .

But I'm not sure I buy that. Though it does tie into Jilli's Theory of Goth (American Style, for Women of a Certain Age).

Well, they were probably more of a progressive metal -- but still, they're not the stuff of classic rock. Umlaut or no.

I tend to agree with Cindy, despite my umlaut theory. There are boundaries to classic rock. Metallica kind of stretches those boundaries, even, because I think everybody in that band is, like, at most 35, and was in junior high when "classic rock" was busy happening. They're sort of a very strongly classically-oriented hard-rock band, but they are really not classic rock.

Then again, I am waiting and waiting for a Guns 'n' Roses song to show up on Supernatural, followed immediately by commentary on how scary-looking Axl Rose is now. So I'm not too strict about "all songs on the show will be classic rock."

Has anyone fannish come up with a SPN soundtrack/artist list? I've waffled about asking, cause I didn't know if it was Music or Boxed. Hell, I might have already asked and forgot.

Cause I'd like to start listening to more, and I don't think we really have the right station around here.

BTW, I was in Toledo last weekend and happened across the local classic rock station, and I had a little moment of "Bet this is where Kripke got his thing for classic rock." (I am so *ridiculous* for this show.)
