Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[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.
I wish I could carry SuperWiki with me always. Great resource. And the closest I've come to finding transcripts for most of the episodes.
If only there were one source of good screencaps that spanned the whole series till now. But it seems to be a taxing job--people keep quitting. A few seemed to quit in that major AfterEllen exodus. And then crystalchain threw a snit because other people were doing screencaps too, and she didn't feel special anymore. So I gotta go hunt around, depending on when I'm looking for. For a while I was downloading the zips myself, but I got out of the habit.
Huh. Maybe I will download the transcripts from SuperWiki so I can have them indexed on my own system...but then I wouldn't have them on all my devices...wait, there's Dropbox...
I've just been organising my network storage. It might show a little.
You do have to take SuperWiki with the same grain of salt you'd take with Wiki itself. Especially with the transcripts.
It's a fantastic resource, though. I can't imagine what something like this would have been like for Buffy. Fans can be really awesome.

It's never conflicted with my memory or my rewatches. Where did you find problems?

Weren't there any? Well, okay, Rayne had that kickass script (not transcript, IIRC) collection that was golden, for instance. And I'm pretty sure there were episode guides, but I knew my Buffy canon so well, that I didn't need it as much.
But I don't think there was anything that combined the ep guides with the transcripts and the biographies. You'd have to pull it together yourself.
As for the errors in SuperWiki--edit it! I've fixed a bunch of stuff (or just cleaned up clumsy English) a bunch of times. We are the fans that make it awesome.
Where did you find problems?
Usually just a line of dialogue here and there, but I want it to be exactly accurate. I have edited once in a while, but I'm usually too lazy to spend the time.
By the time I discovered Buffy fandom (and online life in general), it was late in the run -- maybe S5? I wouldn't have had any idea what to look for. I didn't even know what fic was.

Weren't those cute days?
This has been cleaned out because a number of sites have gone tits up, and could probably stand to be cleaned out again. Rayne's scripts were my #1 resource. I used them all the time. I'd read the script before my first rewatch.
Supernatural doesn't tempt me that way.
(I'm an obsessive volunteer site editor--not contributor, because I don't think I know anything well enough to start a conversation, but I do correct every error or omission I notice--wikipedia, IMDB, Superwiki, etc)
there were definitely wiki-like sites for Buffy back in the day. Rayne's site, for sure. i also used this a lot. [link]
I applaud ita and those others who keep the websites true. Superwiki is fab. When I couldn't recall Ezra's name for the Time and Time Again ep, IMDB failed me completely, but Superwiki came through admirably.
The first 1940's D/C arrived! Sort of. After I enjoyed it, I had vessel!angst. And then I felt that it undermined Dean finally allowing himself to indulge a part of himself that he normally wouldn't, with a fully consenting adult with sympathetic circumstances. And then it felt rapey in a way it never did with Jimmy (but maybe that's a . . . whole 'nuther kettle of fish that I can't verbalize right now).
I love "He grow up great. He grow up hero." It's cute.
Dean's birthday is close to Buffy's! But I don't ship either them or Daith.
I like the idea of Sam and Buffy.
Ooh, I still need to write Cas with the BuffyBot. Heh.
