SPOILERS for those of you late to the party (Like me)

The pilot was well-produced, had great cinematography, appropriately creepy music, and excellent sound effects (Which are all-important in a scary show!). It was a great intro to the brothers and their motivations. Dean carries most of the pain, as he actually saw what happened to their mom.
Sam is distancing himself.
Good show.

Wendigo. The actual thing wasn't as scary as I imagined, but the character developement was awesome. Now Sam is on board, having seen his girlfriend go in front of him. The brothers are united in a bond of loss. .
Still, good show.

Dead In The Water. Amy Acker!!! Cool! Very eerie and better than probably it should have been, given 'water' as a big bad. But Dean was great, and his emotional moments with the kid almost made me cry.
Getting hooked.

Of note: Kim Manners (director) produced and directed many eps of Brisco County, Jr.

Chrisisall, stuck on yet ANOTHER series

Thanks Dayve.
I didn't have critters with pancakes on their heads.
Now I do.
I feel better.

Congratulations on finally finding your way to Supernatural.

And there's plenty more scary to come, including one of the best "demon" visuals I've ever seen (both in terms of cinematography and in terms of a cheap, I-know-how-to-do-that special effect used in a creative and powerful way --no million dollar CGI needed).

You'll become even more addicted as you progress through the season.

I know you were looking for some fighting, so how did you like the brothers' reunion brawl in the opener?

If you enjoyed seeing Amy you'll be happy to here there are appearances by other Joss alum. Also, there are tons of other great guests any sci-fi geek is sure to recognize.

Wait until you see Hook Man, still one of my favorties.

You're right on about Dean. A lot of his sarcasm and witty remarks come from his repressing the pain he feels. Jensen does such a great job with the character. Dean is so much more dynmaic that he receives much more critical acclaim than Jared which is unfair. Dean gets most the best lines on the show.

"Ooh that fabric softener bear, I'd like to hunt that little bitch down."

"I should've burned a clip in him just on principle."

...and from last week's episode: "This is pretty friggin' weird even for us."

Keep enjoying!

It was rousing, albeit a little in the dark. But what I could make out was good. Jujitsu or Jeet Kune Do wrestling, it looked like.

Happy Chrisisall

Phantom Traveler. If you've ever flown, this one keys right into that fear of flying some of us have. The shaking and noise of the planes was particularly unnerving. Cool resolution, I almost didn't see it coming. Mini-rant: The deleted scene was deleted WHY?!?!?!?!?!?
I love the mini-movie feel of each ep!

Still impressed Chrisisall

Oh, Cisall, we were only kidding. Can't believe you started watching the show!

Glad you're enjoying it!

Bloody Mary was gross. Like a Freddy movie (a good thing).

Skin was totally engrossing, and hearing Dean's thoughts about Sam (interpreted, but there nonetheless) was a little cutting- I don't think Sam took it to heart, though.

Hookman was cool! One of the best so far IMO. She called it on herself! Shades of Forbidden Planet.

The movie-quality of the series continues to impress me.
