Tuesdays are Supernatural!

[Knightfall]

This is one of my favorite new shows.

We get it on "Space" up here in Canada. (Fridays at 10pm EST with a repeat Saturdays at 5pm EST.)

Well, I'm not liking it, so much... It's definitely a "Freak-of-the-Week" show, and that gets old, quickly... This will, too!

I didn't really expect them to find Dad, and/or get any info on the Anima Sola, this week, but I was surely hoping that it wouldn't become a Freak-of-the-Week Show, with Dad just being used as an occasional plot device!... YAWN!

It's formulaic, and old, already. I want something new...

Just watched the first episode. Excellent stuff, IMO. I do hope that they add some more characters in over the course of the first few episodes - just the two of them could get tiring fairly quickly, regardless of how good a job they do.

Something did seem... off in the beginning scene, when their father ran from off-camera, grabbed both kids, and said "Gotcha" as they ran from the exploding building. Maybe I'm just looking for complexity where none exists, but I wouldn't be surprised if something else was going on there.

Part of me wants to fiddle with some audio editing software and check for EVP on the static from the baby monitor in the first couple of scenes. I bet they put something on there, for the Internet crowd. Wonder what I'd have to do to pull it out.

Also of note, I was born in Lawrence, KS, and currently live a short drive away. So I got a chuckle when I saw that name pop up.

Anima Sola? Other than the combination of fire and a woman, how does this one apply?

What would you want? That would make sense and actually work in an episodic format. We're talking about two brothers who hunt and kill evil spirits and the like, what could they really do with that?

"Freak of the Week" doesn't bother me as long as the story is good. I got tired of it with Smallville; however, this show is good. It does have that Call of Cthulhu vibe with hardened adventurers. All we need now is some sanity checks.

Me neither, as long as there is regular progress. I've been rewatching the X-files on DVD from Netflix for the last few months, it's there's a noticable difference on how intriguing "mythos" episodes are vs. "freak of the week." I like the sense of the show going somewhere, and I was a bit surprised that at the end of the second episode, there were no obvious leads into the third.

 

[CrusaderX]

Question - in the Wendigo epsiode, I thought I saw a brief scene of Sam in the woods, holding some type of beads that looked like prayer beads. Did anyone catch what was going on in this scene? I must have missed part of it.

 

[Desdichado]

Didn't notice that.

I have, however, always pronounced it "WEN dig o" not "wen DEEG o" like they did on the show. I'm quite sure they're right, though, not me.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Crusader X- I saw the beads. I don't think they were prayer beads though. They looked like a bracelet. Might be a charm of some sort.
