Ok, so my friend Toni really likes the show Supernatural. I've seen a few episodes before today and what I've seen was pretty good. So when I heard that the current season (four) was shaping up to be really, really good, I decided to give it another go.
I've seen the first few episodes of season one already, so I went for starting with season 3. The first episode was good (even though I spent a good ten minutes staring and repeating "It's Lisa the Cyberwoman from Torchwood" to myself). The second episode (that's "The Kids Are All Right") was even better.
Reasoning:
1. Dean's ex's kid. Who I will continue calling MiniDean, because that kid is WAY too much like him for it to be a coincidence. And how many eight-year-olds do you know who listen to AC/DC?
2. The demon/Hunter/whoever the hell she is who keeps showing up wanting to help Sam. Until the "she's a demon" thing she kept reminding me of Elle from Heroes...
3. The changelings. a) generally speaking an imaginative way to handle an old idea and b) THE KIDS. OH MY GOD THE KIDS.
See, ever since the Doctor Who ep "The Empty Child", children speaking in monotone voices and asking for their mummy has been a little... terrifying... for me. So yeah. And when one of the changelings is trying to break down a door to get to its "mummy"? Didn't make the comparison go away.
So yeah. Supernatural. Amazing show. Definitely going to keep watching (and I will go back and check out the rest of the earlier seasons as well).
