Trust me it keeps getting better. You're coming up on a few of my favorites, Asylum and Something Wicked. Not to mention the final three episodes of season 1. Hell, who am I kidding? There weren't many episdoes I didn't like.

In a lot of cases, the pilot is strong, and the series tries hard to live up to it, succeeding intermittantly- not here though, it started good, and seems to be getting better as they go.

Hey CIA

I've just finished watching the first season this weekend, and I really enjoyed the show. I wouldn't rate it as high as Buffy (which it can obviously be compared to) but it's still a great show.

The chemistry between the two leads is great and can make for some very funny moments, especially when one of them is trying to say something serious.

I like idea of taking a legend or movie baddie and then making something different out of it, or having it play out a different way.

Also the pop culture references are great:
Sam and Dean
Ford and Hamill
Ghostbusters (you'll see when you get there)
plus many more I can't remember.

And then the last couple of episodes.....

Enjoy it.

John

Two. One to try to put it in and another to find a bigger hammer.

Faith was GREAT!!! Dean's angst over living 'cause someone else was dead was palpable. And as ever, the character interplay was perfection. The beginning scared me...

How did you like seeing Julie Benz as quiet, sympathetic, and full of faith? Quite a departure from her days as Darla.

That line Dean has about "that fabric softener bear" when he is in the hospital bed is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Must have something to do with my hatred of Snuggle and the Pillsbury doughboy.
