Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
[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.
That episode was underwhelming, too. Rowena is such a caricature, although the ending made me laugh.
There were some acting fails in this ep. The scene with the first demon who was trying to buy Dean's soul for sex was painful. As was Rowena's accent. Ugh.
Isn't the actress actually Scottish?
Yerp, she's Scottish. I'ma have to give her the benefit of the doubt. If anyone gets to butcher (sounded fine to me) a Scottish accent, she'd have dibs.
No comment on last night? I was really happy to see the blonde sheriff was highly competent as well as being a soon-to-recover doormat. I prefer that they didn't play her for 100% laughs.
Two, two recurring female characters.
Yes, 100% agreement -- I really enjoyed Sheriffs Donna (I googled) and Jody together. I liked that they gave Donna a bit of a Fargo vibe. Different personalities, but they were complementary and also had some good personal conflict and resolution. They packed a lot in to their interactions for one ep. Spin off!
Spin off!
Best backdoor pilot ever!
Overall really liked it, it felt like an old-school early seasons episode. And unlike the backdoor pilots of recent years (wish I was confident this actually was one, though), I wasn't wishing they'd skip to the Sam & Dean parts whenever they weren't on screen.
This is the fifth time Jody has come across supernatural creatures run amok without a Winchester or Bobby connection. I think the brothers ought to stay in Sioux Falls for a while and give her the full training course, complete with her own copy of John's journal and whatever would be useful from Bobby's library.
I just had a very sad thought. How tragic that Bobby never got to explore the MoL library. I would love to have seen him ensconced in a library chair with a glass of good scotch and a stack of pristine tomes.
I never associate Bobby with the good hooch. That's Rufus to me.
I'm imagining John holding up his journal (seriously, there's only one???) and squinting at the library behind them.
Frankly I'm disappointed that Dean isn't interested in transwolves.
Well, some of that Men of Letters prose can make any subject a bit of a slog.
Love Sheriff Donna - her and Jody Mills were great together.
Just read this quote in a story:
Sam sat at the front desk of Winchester Iron and greeted the members with a polite smile as they swiped their cards though the reader at the entrance. He smiled extra hard at the pretty girls, with a grin that hopefully communicated how sorry he was that he was gigantic, and that deep down he was very sweet.
It's teen!Sam and I can totally see it.
