Is Supernatural as good as it sounds like it is?

In my completely uninformed opinion (I'm the poor subject of a European crowned-head, and just haven't met any working-class US citizens): the aspect of this show that may appeal to Browncoats is its working-class feel. The guys have a higher mission, that's true, but they have to skuffle along to finance it and no elite organisation is doing them any favors.

It's good to see that Jensen Ackles can handle roles suited to his (slightly) increasing years.

Caveat: I've only managed to catch Season One.

I don't watch it regularly but it's fun and better than a lot of stuff *cough-Charmed-cough* that is around. It's a bit formulaic but it has a sense of humour so I can forgive that.

Most of my friends(females) watch it for the same reason that guys watch Dark Angel - eyecandy.

Jensen Ackles is mighty purdy.

If it wasn't funny and quite creepy and occasionally clever it wouldn't matter how pretty he was, I couldn't watch it. It does have the occasional plot-hole you could drive a truck through - but lots of shows do.

Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots... SHUT UP!!!

If I wanted eyecandy, I'd have a DVD collection of Baywatch and Silk Stockings

.
Dark Angel was good because of the writers- some of which worked on Firefly, in case ya didn't know.

Plus, the director of DA's pilot directed Supernatural's pilot, which I take as a good omen..I'm probably gonna groove to it.

Not that I'm opposed to a little eyecandy from time to time Chrisisall

Supernatural also has Ben Edlund on staff, who worked on. . . some other show, with cowboys and spaceships, or something silly like that.

Watching you,
Turn your back like you always do.
Face away, pretend that I'm not,
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got.

I still like the montage in the opening theme near the end of season 1 set to the Kansas tune "Carry on Wayward Son". So appropriate.

Carry on my wayward son.
There'll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don't you cry no more.

So what's the better show? Stargate: Atlantis, Heroes or Supernatural? I guess I really mean, which is the most Joss-like....

I'm not including BSG in that question, 'cause I feel it goes without sayin' that it's light years ahead of anything else out there being made...

Endless questions Chrisisall

Hmmmmmm, most Joss-like. I'd say Heroes is most Joss-like in structure and character development. Supernatural is most Joss-like in character pattern, interaction, and humor. Stargate Atlantis I don't find that Joss-like, but it still is gorram shiny!

Stay clam Mr. Giles. We have to slay calm.

Thank God you're here. I was planning to panic.

I don't think it goes without saying that BSG is better than anything else out there. I think Heroes and Supernatural are both better than BSG, especially the first half of this new season.

I think Supernatural is closer to the Joss Whedon shows, but Heroes is the better show.

Heroes is just ridiculously good...gaining ground on Firefly, Lost season 1 and 2, and my personal holy grail of television seasons, Murder One season 1 for best all-time tv show season. It probably has already passed 24 season 1, Married with Children season 1, and Dexter season 1.
