'Bring On The Night'
[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.
Ok, a conversation two cubes down included the word supernatural. I totally wanted to barge in on the conversation to see if they were talking SPN or not. I don't have any SPN stuff in my cube - just baseball related things.
Work has kept me from watching Supernatural Shake. Will have to remedy that when I get home.
Sara wants to watch it ... well, almost as often as I do. ::hangs head::
I'm not convinced that Dean would have been unable to resolve that situation successfully on his own though.
If Sam hadn't shown up, he would have shot her, yeah, but he at least realized how hard it was to do with someone he had a connection to. And Sam had a much deeper friendship with Amy than the ten minutes Dean knew his daughter.
Sam's "petukance" is cast in a different light by Dean's resistance to the idea of Sam being the one that cleans up after Benny if he goes off the wagon.
I think it's good that they gave someone with such strong family bonds no automatic or overriding blood debt--I'm sure he didn't enjoy being betrayed by Sampa or fathering a dangerous daughter, but he saves Sam because of who Sam is to him, not because they share parents.
My sister got to A Very Supernatural Christmas, with concomitant tears.
I'm so proud...
In terms of major disagreements between Sam & Dean: other than Lenore, have there been any cases where Sam was proven right and Dean proven wrong?
Warning Dean not to trust Gordon so quickly after meeting him
"Long-Distance Call" -- didn't Dean keep insisting that John was calling from beyond the grave even though Sam correctly told him it wasn't John calling them?
Every time he told Dean that ghost!Bobby was losing control and becoming erratic and they couldn't just ignore his actions any longer
Yeah, all good examples.
SPN made it onto the MTV 10 thing again. Gives details about Cas' absence and has new footage: [link]
Show makes it onto MTV twice a year, and made two TV Guide covers in a year--the reason why no one I talk to has heard of it because it's somehow skewing younger than people who've been watching since S1? Tumblr seems to back that up. Hmm.
I think it's a bit remarkable that the season low ratings was less than 3x Misha's theoretical twitter audience. Jared's about 100K below Misha

Interesting. So still over a million, then. But probably less than two?
I want to personally thank Jensen for the Harlem Shake video, since hiatus so far seems to be simply .gifs of him dancing, which is lovely.
Blood Brother got 1.78 million viewers. Which is really nobody. I don't understand enough about the numbers, though. I'd like to know how many people tune in, because although anyone with an agenda will explain what it is about that episode that got low ratings, if that's everyone that tuned in, maybe Bitten (which people seem to hate when they don't like it) is a culprit also. But if five million people tuned in for What's Up Tiger Mommy (highest rated ep of S8) and half of them ditched before the half hour mark, that's a whole different piece of information about fan response.
I mean, 1.78 million isn't that much less than 1.85, which was the season premiere (second lowest rated as far as SPNwiki got--just through Hunter Heroici).
Season 1 had eight episodes with over five million viewers. But that was an entirely different landscape. Not to mention network.
Poor CW--Bones, which struck me as another show no one I talk to knows about, had nine million viewers on a random 2012 episode I pulled off the net. The last time I looked at ad rates, SPN had the cheapest ads on the major networks, without having the lowest ratings (probably 2 years ago). But on that same Monday as Bones and their near ten mill, CW got .79 million with 90210. Which has to cost a metric ton to shoot, relatively speaking, what with filming in LA and having such a massive regular cast.
Wow, you know way more about the ratings than I do.
I think, though, even if the CW's ad rates are lower than others, it's still a matter of ratio? Their production budgets can't be as large, either, or the cast salaries. Also, what they need to make to sustain the CW is probably a lot less than what networks need to make, with their way, way huger infrastructures and news departments, etc.
