I am fine with not having seen it. In a post Enver Gjokaj world, I'm okay with people just not trying. Especially if it's supposed to be contemporaneous. Chad Everett was merely okay--if there hadn't been delight at it being Chad Everett, it would have been less entertaining.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.

The what with the who?
Also, this is probably a question for you, ita: People get knocked unconscious SO easily on TV. Born Under a Bad Sign is on this morning, and one good crash of Jo's head to the bar and she's out. That's not really realistic, is it?

Enver Gjokaj, from Dollhose. He did some crazy uncanny impersonations of established characters on the show that have just set the bar so high (seriously freakish stuff) that I'm okay with not seeing people try and do less well.
That's not really realistic, is it?
Knocking people out like a light is *hard*. And having them stay that way. Of course, many lesser blows end up with more lasting trauma, and that we never see, so it's just a bunch of head injury lies.

I thought so! Hmph.

Yeah, I'd imagine Rupert Giles would have been in a managed care facility asking a nurse to remind him he likes jello by Season 3 if head injuries were treated more realistically on TV.

And, oh, the scars these pretty boys would have on their faces. Part of me is irritated, but the shallow and therefore important part of me knows what's what.

Oh yeah. Buffy I could handwave with the super slayer healing powers, but the Winchester boys would have a road map all over their bodies.
And yet, I like the pretty, so. And I know how hard it would be for the makeup department to carry that off over five seasons, too.

But not Dean! He got cleaned up when Castiel raised him from the dead.

He magically healed up long before that. The scars on his face from the car crash and the shadow attack come to mind. Vanished without a trace.
It would have been cute if End!Dean had had a dramatic facial scar.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
JA called it the CW's magical healing cream.
I just--Enver is a marvel. I'd want to clone him, but I suspect he's already done it himself.
