I also have the gore issues, as does Cass.
I do the watch from being ducked behind the laptop a *lot* and it works.
Man, talking about the S1 eps makes me want to watch so many of them again right now. Of course, linoleum makes me want to rewatch many of them too.
So, if you only had time to watch 2 S1 episodes, which would you pick, dear Cass?
Devil's trap and Dead Man's Blood or the pilot.
I'm a sucker for the pilot, so if I was nostalgic for watching the whole thing set up, I would watch the pilot and Wendigo. Because I can watch that first fight scene. A lot.
Home for that voicemail Dean leaves dad. Which breaks my heart. Everytime. Asylum for the brother interactions and *issues* but I get mad when Sam keeps shooting Dean.
Faith is wonderful because Sam is so gonna save Dean. But then you kinda need to watch Route 666 and I can only do that skipping the Cassie parts. It's really a good ep for me when I do that, for the brotherly stuff.
Dead Man's Blood is just awesome. Vampires. Gets funnier every time.
Oh! And Salvation and Devil's Trap because they are just totally amazing.
Did you really ask me for just two?
Maybe Dead Man's Blood and Devil's Trap. They've got all the Winchesters and are very watchable. I can't choose though!!!
Devil's trap and Dead Man's Blood or the pilot.
I waver for a half hour, Lee just answers with my brain.
These.
Only two? The pilot and Salvation. There's a lotalotalot of mirroring from the pilot that goes on in Salvation, and it helps to have seen it recently. Plus, pilot! And then you can watch JP's screen test on YouTube.
Suzi! ONE OF US, ONE OF US...
Heh.
Two S1 episodes? Definitely the pilot. And ... Home, I think. I can't resist Dean's call to John. Dean's unease about Sam's nightmare, which is such great foreshadowing of what's to come. Plus, Mary! Missouri!
That was hard, though! Other top contenders were Asylum, Nightmare, and Dead Man's Blood.
I now have S2. Have watched the first episode and my heart is broken. Am now watching scary clowns.
I LOVE THAT YOU DRANK THE KOOL-AID. For real.
::smishes Suzi super hard::
