I let things slide all through season 2, the finale came and went with nary a thread about the series, but enough is enough. So here we are about halfway into season 3 with so many intersesting things having occured in the last year or so.
SPOILERS AHEAD. BEWARE! TURN BACK NOW OR FOREVER BE SPOILED!
Select to view spoiler:
So what did my fellow Browncoats think of last season's finale? Personally I hated to see Old Yellow Eyes bite the bullet so to speak but I understand the need to move the story forward. Sam's return from the dead and Yellow Eyes parting words about him no longer being 100% Sam are cause for some concern. It does look as though Sam is a tad more hardcore. He certainly has adopted the shoot first mentality of late.
With the release of the demon army I was expecting this season to be a demon of the week routine. Color me surprised that the writers only touched in this in the season opener. Manifestations of the 7 deadly sins was a cool idea.
The most intriguing development so far has been the female demon aiding the Winchesters. While her motives remain largely unclear she has stated that she knows a way to get Dean out of his bargain. Also she gave Bobby the knowledge to reinvigerate The Colt. I kind of figured it would make a return at some point. The whole idea that no more bullets could be manufactured struck me as being a bit odd. That being said I don't expect them to have it forever, in fact I expect it will be gone by the end of this season. A gun that can kill anything makes it way too easy for the boys.
As for this week's episode I was glad to see Gordon return. I knew jail couldn't hold him forever. In a way he always reminded me of Faith from BTVS, a bit twisted with his own ideas on the right way to do things. In the end his obsession got the best of him. Having him turned into a vampire was so poetic. Like the yellow eyed demon I really hate to see him go but it was necesary. The way Sam finished him off was brutal.
Any thoughts? Did I forget something important? Am I the only Supernatural fan left around here?

I'm a fan of this show, and I think Chrisisall is as well.
I think the chemistry between the leads is great and there is some brilliantly funny moments that capture two brothers spot on.
I started watching this on terrestrial UK tv so was quite far behind, and then they pulled season 2 halfway through saying that it didn't get enough viewers (11pm on a Friday - what did they expect??).
So I downloaded the rest and finished S2 a few weeks ago.
As far as S3 goes I'm waiting to see how many episodes get made/shown before the writers strike affects it. Then I'll decide whether to d/load or wait for it to appear on Sky. So please, HIDE SPOILERS!! Thanks.
The show has had posts on here before, but maybe it doesn't get as many as others because it isn't straight sci-fi, but more of a paranormal fantasy, in the same mold as Buffy and Angel (which obviously get posted about because of Joss), although I don't see why that should stop anyone.

I like it, but don't love it... On the other hand, it's currently one of my favorite shows, which kinda says something about the sad state of television.
Unlike, say, the X-FILES, I think SUPERNATURAL has done a great job adapting to its success and evolving its story and mythology to stay from.
If you like SUPERNATURAL, you should check out MIRACLES. Some of the same folk worked on it, and I feel like they've brought some of the ideas they were unable to explore in MIRACLES over to SUPERNATURAL.

Big Supernatural fan here.
Personally, I'm kinda hoping that Sam's new dark side is non-demonic. I mean, look at all the crap he's been through. Being p*ssed off is his right. Plus it makes it much more interesting (and scary) if his darkness is entirely, 100% human nature (especially in light of what that demon-girl said to Dean a few weeks back).
And yeah, that Colt is gonna end up shooting them in the foot (so to speak).
As for the girls: I want to see more of Ruby's story. They can go ahead and shoot Bela though (I like her character, I just think that she's been trying so hard to piss people off [and then to weasel out of it when they catch her] that someday her luck's gonna run out).

Count me in, too!
While it's never been my favorite show, it's consistently good. I may not look forward to it, but it always leaves satisfied (except for the episode with Linda Blair- hate that one!).
Plus, as an added bonus, we got to see Mercedes McNab as a vamp again last night. Truly a sympathetic character.

It's all I can do to keep up with Heroes (and even THAT I missed #3 this season!!!)

Yup. I'm a big fan of this show. However I'm a terrible one for avoiding spoilers so I must respectfully decline joining any debate over this great show. I really wish I could but as I am UK bound, no doubt us 'tea drinkers' are about a season or so behind and I fear I may become aware of events out of phase with where I am presently in the show.
I will just say that I think Supernatural has slipped in unnoticed, glory covered by the hype of bigger shows like Lost, Ugly Betty, and Prison Break etc yet stands proud of all those as a slow brewing classic of modern TV.
If you have the chance try and see it.

Som, you think it's as good as Heroes? I think it has moments that come close, and is an easier concept to wrap your head around in the first place.
But Heroes is my #1 show being produced Chrisisall

I'm a fan. I missed most of season 1, but have caught every ep since the season 1 finale.
I thought the end of the ep with Linda Blair was hi-larious, and the reference to soup.
Dean gets all the best lines though. They need to give some to Sammy once in awhile.
It's the only show I watch that has an arc, which I miss since Joss' shows are gone.
