Supernatural: Men and Angels...

[fajrdrako]

Once again I spent the evening watching Supernatural with explodedteabag. I'm enjoying it immensely, despite having to close my eyes occasionally for the gore. I'm still particularly enjoying the bits where Castiel appears....

And by a delightful though eerie chance, as I was watching episode 4x10, "Heaven and Hell", I got a phone call from a friend to tell me about the book she was reading about Angels. She knew nothing about Supernatural, not even that the show exists, let alone that I was watching it. I almost asked her if the book had anything about Castiel in it, but I suspect not. As angels go, he's fairly obscure.

This show is so reminding me of some comics I love. Misha Collins even has the John Constantine stance down pat. And the gaze. And the rumpled coat. explodedteabag wants to know: how can you get your trench coat that rumpled in heaven?

I'm also starting to like Sam and Dean, not just for their clever dialogue, but as individuals.

I've seen season 4, episodes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. The first five minutes of season 1 episode 1 (when it aired). And a showing of season 3 episode 1 at a video-party, where it didn't make much of an impression.

So I've barely seen John Winchester but I loved the actor in The Watchmen, where he was such a complex personality.

So far I like the way the show has handled sex, considering that it's all het. (That I've noticed, anyway.)

Yes, I think that's what I'll do - catch up on season 4 and then go back to season 1 and watch it all in order.

Heh. So you know where John started from. Something that the boys didn't know at all. And... hmm. 3x01 makes a great deal more impression when one knows about Dean's deal and how it came about and what happened in ... most of s2 actually. S3 actually has no downer episodes, even if some (Jus in Bello) are hard for me to watch. S1 ep that may be a downer (not all of it, just the ending) is Bugs; S2 is Nightshifter. S4 is Family Remains (11) so be forewarned - but also you can see what low quality for this show means, and I know that's still higher quality than a lot of tv series eps.

Yes. Some of the charges leveled against Spn is that it's sexist (as in biased against women), although I'm ... that sort of thing hasn't irked me sufficiently to notice it? (Okay, it has its share of bitchy female characters. It also has a good share of bastards; and even the boys are no angels. Hey, even the angels are no angels! Dicks.) So... yeah. I just like it. >.>

Hee :D
