I’ve had a 15,000 gallon swimming pool go from, “is that getting a little cloudy?” to “AAgh! It’s disgusting green!” in about 24 hours, especially after a rainstorm dropped who-knows-what dust and pollen into the pool. They needed to shock the shit out of it, and instead used the H2O2 which tied up the chlorine, so…

Called it. Incompetence. For those that wrong chemicals was wrong: FU. The only way this happens is bad chemical mix/lack of chemicals. The H2O2 can work on small scale, like a hot tub if you want, or a floatation tank, but you aren’t mixing it into a chlorine pool with any hope of success.

Having originally thought “Oh, jeeze, a Buffy clone,” I didn’t give Supernatural a chance until it was in syndication, maybe somewhere around season 4. J&J made me a fan almost immediately. The music too. And Bobby and Rufus. The Buffy-ness is there, sure — especially as the years have gone on and serious/silly…

Or Dean’s Eye of the Tiger cameo :)

Some of the humour is fantastic. I will never not smile at the memory of the giant depressed cuddly teddy bear, that blew it’s own stuffing out!

The first season is very ropey. It reminds me very much of the first season of X-Files. But from the last few episodes of the second season right through to the end of the 5th season, it’s magnificant. And almost like a totally different show. It’s afterward that they never quite knew which way to go with it. And so…

As per usual, I turn to the West Wing for clarity:

as they had seven-hour-old footage of Russians doing gymnastics badly to show you

I don’t care what anyone says about this show, the wife and I love it.

You should watch it. Some of the funniest tv moments I have ever seen have come from Jensen and Jarad (Sam and Dean). The show is an absolute crack up. They have very serious moments then flip the whole thing on it’s head by throwing in some random episode that’s all about taking the edge off and making you laugh. My…

Thank you! I’m thinking the same. It’s entertaining. Is it a great show? Nope. Is it entertaining? Sure! Don’t read more into it than it is. They poke fun at themselves often enough, give nods to the fans, and enjoy themselves too. Of note I also know that the show is huge in Europe, so someone is happy :)

IF YOU’RE STARTING THE SHOW ON NETFLIX! Don’t. Season 1 music has been all subbed out (likely contract issues) and part of the beauty of the early seasons of the show was the classic rock. Season 1 had 4 main characters 1) Dean 2) Sam 3) The Impala 4) Classic Rock. I rewatched it recently and the absence of all the…

This November it will be 10 years since the episode “Crossroad Blues”, when they clearly made a deal with an actual crossroads demon. If it survives past then, we’ll know it will live forever.

And I am still ok with this. Is it a great show? no. But it is fun. And the actors seem to genuinely love doing it so whatever. I’ll be right there with them til the end.

While I have a plan already lined up that involves creating two TV shows with the BBC, moving to America to write some movies (and shadow directors), saving up the money all the while to buy the rights to an anime (shh secret!) that I think would do REALLY well with a good adaptation... I must admit, a part of me…

Season One starts off as a very episodic sort of “horror movie a week” kind of thing, which has some highs and some lows, but ends on a pretty intense moment that gets you intrigued.

This show survived:

I started watching this from day one because the whole concept seemed intriguing and I was a child who watched Unsolved Mysteries and X-Files. Some seasons have dipped on my interest meter but Jared, Jensen and now Misha Collins and Mark Sheppard have made this one of the greatest shows ever. Sometimes it is formulaic…

Do you know what I find interesting about this, Rich? As a gendered and queered analysis of your piece...

Little known fact, you can’t REALLY dive into coins like Scrooge McDuck. It would actually kill you.
