@avclub-2f2b7ca7553ba4230cad836ea1125578:disqus That camera question you mention is great! The compulsion to record every minute, almost to a pathological degree, is to say that maybe nothing is real until we see it filmed, captured, verified by the mechanical eye (or whatever Bazin called it). Didn't the assholes…

I'd watch that show.

Yes, especially since one of the early arcs of the series revolved around Sam's demon blood which, as with the three leads in "Bitten," as something someone did to him, not something he chose.

Also cool was the direct quoting of Master NPH from Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle: "It was a dick move on my part." Squee!

@avclub-24f6f7a488efc0455e1cb95aea962bed:disqus Good point about the kids. I think that now, in a media world bombarded with Marvel & DC and our cultural moment in which exceptional white people save the world on a regular basis, the kids might immediately think of themselves as superheroes.
