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.
Lore seems to be incredibly poorly distributed, overall. The closest we've ever seen to a trading post or general information clearinghouse is Ellen's bar, and that's not so great, you know? Nobody seems to write stuff down. It's all oral transmission of knowledge, sometimes facilitated by phone, but -- Consuela and I were speculating once, and I decided that hunters need to have a Huntercon, where they get together and talk best practices and have workshops and stuff.
Also, they desperately need a newsgroup or chat board.
The more tight-knit the hunters are, the more easily they could be subverted when one of them turns. It was pretty easy for Sam to whack hunters as it is.

Which is why I think a group of urban hunters would rule so hard.
I keep flashing back to the line in Crossroad Blues, where Dean says they know a little about a lot of things, just enough to be dangerous. How much they don't know really seems to be driving this season.
Hmm. Anticipating long thoughts on knowledge in my future.
Yeah, I'm thinking wekillcreepythings.net would act as a magnet for the more crafty and clairvoyant supernatural menaces that want to save time taking out numerous hunters at once.
There's also the part where we don't know what kind of people most hunters are.
Are they territorial? Are they specialists (that vampire-hunter seemed to be so)? Are they sorrowing freaks working out their secret pains with violence? Are they sociopaths seeking acceptable outlets to their crazy? Do they actually mingle with white supremacists, as Agent Gotcha implied?
I think it would be cool, in a show so concerned with the road, to have an episode
about
the road, about Travellers and Roma and migrant workers and truck drivers and the people who don't associate the word "home" with any one place.
Besides, if the hunters get organized enough, they start turning into the Watchers Council... with mullets and feedlot caps.

Which could be entertaining, in its way, but I think I'd settle for rec.sports.hunting.cryptozoology, you know? The hunters are disorganized to the point that it's actually dangerous. Sam and Dean thought vampires were a myth, and then they meet a guy who *specializes* in them. How many other hunters are facing stuff they don't know enough about, when there's someone out there who could tell them what they need?
There totally needs to be a wiki.
...On the other hand, if all hunters take notes the way John takes notes, a hunterwiki might be cryptic and disorganized to the point of total uselessness. Hmm.
Plei (and anyone else), Cass and I are about to watch Route 666 and post on AIM. You should join us.
Come on, racist ghost trucks! What's not to love?
