[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Matt, you make me larf. But you've got it wrong, narratively, Kurt needs to survive so that he can be understanding about what he sees between Cas and Dean and walk away. Because he doesn't want to be settled for. Which still doesn't guarentee Dean/Cas, and Dean is ALONE OMG TEH ANGST!
Um, it's too early.
Current fic peeve: "whilst". Just don't.
So I am finally seeing the SPN love. I've been netflixing season 1 and I'm currently mid-racist truck episode. Which is funny because I had actually heard of it before watching.
I really want a Dean of my very own.
I really want a Dean of my very own.
Get in line, babe.
Tis a looooooooooong line.
And it forms right behind me, I believe!
What?
Get in line, babe.
So true. And somehow I picture this making Dean very happy.
So in my X-files watch, they had a Tall Tales episode which was told from Scully and then Mulder's point of view. When Scully was telling the story, the local sheriff was Luke Wilson being very charming. When Mulder told it, Luke was wearing joke teeth and talking like a hillbilly. Now I am wondering if Kim Manners was directing our Tall Tales episode. Have to check.
Oh! and David Duchovney mumbles so I can't be sure, but I think he pronounced it Sam Hain as well. I just saw baby Ash on x-files as an angsty teen, and he ran through the orchard of "Scarecrow".
If x-files isn't the mother of Supernatural, it's definitely an ancestor.
I think Kim Manners probably had a lot of influence over the show as it grew, yeah, especially style and tone. And I would be surprised if Kripke didn't draw from it a little bit, storywise.
I think I read that a lot of the crew had come over too. So it makes sense that it has such a similar look and feel.
If x-files isn't the mother of Supernatural, it's definitely an ancestor.
Absolutely. It's amazing how similar the shows can feel, even though one is based in a very white collar, working (to a degree) within the system world, and the other is definitely more blue-collar and outlaw.
I feel like The X-Files was one of the first shows to stretch a little, style-wise, and they kept experimenting with format and tone until nearly the end. (I could also be wrong, of course.)
But when we got Tall Tales and Monster Movie, especially, I thought we owed to The X-Files. And I know Sam and Dean mention Mulder and Scully more than once, too.
