Don't love show, but like show a lot. Guess as far as the leads go I'm one of the straight boys. Have seen very little of season one. Have never seen pilot or first few episodes. No claim of being a true fan, let alone a trufan of the show. But do enjoy both show and discussions, and will see it all someday.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

Because books.
I guess the feeling was if the leads are too pretty, it can't be substantial? Did they never see Buffy, for heaven's sake?
I will always tune in for pretty. I'm shallow, and I don't mind admitting it. But I don't usually stay if there's nothing but pretty. (See: Gossip Girl, for instance.)
Which reminds me -- someone on io9 was spewing pure hate about Ackles in the last post, I think. Disparaging his acting and calling him a frat boy. I was startled, to say the least.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What?? You made me go back on comment on their spiteful ass.

Jesus, the quality of acting in the show is absolutely first rate. (Well some exceptions, but not leads.)

I didn't comment because I couldn't think of anything to say that wasn't irrational ranting and outrage. I mean, say what you will about almost anything else, but Jensen is a fantastic actor.

You didn't asteriskize or tilde Dead in the Water?
For the record, Dead in the Water is the episode that made me skip the rest of Season 1 and all of Season 2 up until Croatoan. I figured if the new show couldn't wow me with Amy Acker guesting, it wasn't worth my time.

I figure if the person is insulting the personality of the actor, then they're probably an internet hater, and not worth my time...yet...I'm that person, so I left a snide comment.
Still, I did get another hater to stop hating on a show that isn't out yet, and someone else to stop hating on the anime proactively, so as a thing, it's not all fruitless.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Link, Amy? I'm not a regular there, but I want to see ita's takedown.
Matt, I don't do horror, at all, ever, so I bailed on Woman in White. It was Dean connecting with Lucas in DitW that made me give the new "horror" show a chance. I thought the plot was, well, preposterous. But I liked the connection-after-estrangement factor of the brothers, and the contrasts in their personalities.

Sumi, I totally got credit at IO9 for linking to the anime trailer--thanks for that.
Beverly, I didn't say much. It was an old post, and they'll probably never respond. I just snapped at him for a personal jibe, and then said that Dean is many things, douchebag included. Which, he barely is. But it was my segue into the GREAT things Dean is.
