Mo Ryan talks Supernatural (spoilery at the link) - but non-spoilery comments:
I’m not going to damn this show with faint praise and call it an uncomplicated hour of demon-hunting set to a soundtrack of brawny tunes. I’ve said things like that in the past, and I feel as though that may have been something of an injustice (if a very mild one, in the grand scheme of things). Sure, it's not the most ambitious show ever, but it's satisfying and not necessarily uncomplicated (though again, the mythology is not too daunting).
Anyway, instead of hedging, I’m just going to straight-up praise “Supernatural” and say I felt the two hours spent watching the first couple of episodes of the season were time well spent. I’ve often vowed to do a better job of keeping up with the show, but this season I really mean it.
And this:
I’d think that no matter what, but having just sat through the disappointingly overdone second episode of “Fringe,” I’m especially high on genre-tinged shows that entertain me instead of assaulting me – loudly!! – with anvils (ye gods, that Fox show needs to dial down the soundtrack. I've posted more "Fringe" thoughts here). It has a much lower budget and isn’t often on the media’s radar, but “Supernatural” is, at this point, approximately 3.7 times better than “Fringe.
I am so psyched about tonight. It turns out there's a group of fellow SPN fans on my team at work, so we're all going to M's house to watch the premiere.
Ooh, Anne, jealous!
I've got danger music running through the backbrane today, "nuh nuh nuh nuhnuhnuhnuh..., nuh nuh nuh nuhnuhnuhnuh..." It's not very melodic, but it's an undercurrent of low tension. eep.
I'm so excited!
I will have strong coffee in the evening. Let's hope that the game is just the normal length. (I've just jinxed it, haven't I?)
i'm supposed to go over to my grandpa's for cake and ice cream tonight(it's his birthday). i'm totally ditching them all at about 7:45 so i'm home in time to watch live.
D'oh! I'd planned to go to the fair tonight. Wasn't this supposed to be premiering in early October?
bounce bounce, squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee How the heck am I supposed to get a speck of work done today?
Also? I just know I'm going to forget about the time differences and click in here while y'all are W&Ping and I'll spoil myself for something. But I don't wanna unsub.
I was weak. I watched the two short clips that were linked. But.... I didn't read any spoilers, so that counts towards my moral rectitude, or something, right?

This is one of the many reasons I love you. I would absolutely do the same.

Exactly! I wanted to look at them and say, "Seriously, people, you wanted results? Today?"

Count me in the jealous camp. You know, we should plan on a May 2011 Supernatural Finale Party Watching Get-Together. I'm not married to the title. Then again, maybe that would be too much of a downer. Yeah, I wont be in a good mood. Maybe a Final Premiere Watching Party September 2010? That would give us a whole year to plan. ::coughandsavecough::

In my book? Absolutely!
