Yeah, kinda catnip. Not my usual brand of it, but one of the subvarieties, for sure.

She gives me no Kristen Bell vibe at all. I find Kristen Bell to be blandly unattractive. And she moves differently.

Actually, for all that she's blonde, KC's moves and motions remind me more of Eliza's than anyone else.

YOu know no catnip here - but nothing that makes me believe she can't kill demons either. Heck I believed it when she did it, and delivered the "I saved your ass" line believably. Absolutely nothing like Barbie, I'm certainly willing to give her a chance as a bad-ass demon hunter or demon or mysterious stranger where we don't know what side she is on for a while.

I wasn't thinking Veronica, but I completely heard Buffy saying the dialogue. I didn't think I would, but the bit we have seen, I like her. I'm not interested enough to have her take much screen time from either brother, but I'm liking her much more than I thought. Dude, if she's in a spin-off, I'm there! I like her better than the woman playing the Bionic woman and KC only had a few minutes on screen.

With David Cassidy's daughter on set, maybe the boys can pick up some good life lessons about how to deal with all the fan attention. Not that they aren't handling it well, just she would be able to put some perspective on it for them.

I hope her backstory involves either having been trained to do this sort of thing since she was in Grranimals, or being much, much older than she looks.

Matt speaks for me.

Well the boys have to interact with somebody. I gather that nobody thinks there is much of a shot for my hope that she turns out to be the big bad. I guess that would be kind of subtle for this series.

Dude, but KC, like Misha Barton, looks a decade older than she is. Why do you think I am having mental skeeved issues re: her hotness level?

She doesn't LOOK like a 20 year old girl. She looks closer to 30. (She's like Alona Tal in reverse, in that respect. I adore AT, but she looked like she was in her late teens at most as Jo, at least until BUaBS. KC has the more formed look of adulthood about her.)

Are you kidding? It's progress that she didn't die in the episode. The show would have to get to its 5th season before it could comprehend the idea of a female big bad.

Personally, I am not much on Mysterious Blondie as of yet; a ponytail holder and evidence that I -- to say nothing of the considerably-larger-than-me main characters -- cannot pick her up one-handed will improve my impression of her considerably. The meme of large men (not EVEN gigantic freaks, just Hollywood-average large) and itty bitty women is sooooo 1994.

It would be gender-issue skeevy on a show that doesn't need more of that.

But on the first point, yes.

If Dean has to, from a narrative perspective, come to regret that he's going to be dead in a year, he needs something he cares about outside of Sam, some kind of external relationship. Dean being Dean, just friendship wouldn't cut it. He needs some kind of attachment.

Sam, well, Sam could use one, for many reasons, though the plotting depends less on it.

I will say, as someone who had long hair for years (waist-length) and a taste for fire, as well as random physical activities around fire, I would leave it down more often than not.

Your long hair may vary, but it tended to get in my way as much up and constrained as down and loose, so I don't really buy the hairband complaint.
