Tuesdays are Supernatural!

I knew she was dead as soon as I saw the cookies and the note. You knew he was getting back in that car at some point, but I wasn't sure how until I saw the cookies and the note. It could've been her leaving him, or it could have been him blowing the law school interview because he was tired and stressed, or it could have been him choosing to go after acing the interview, just because he wanted to see if he COULD have done it... but once I saw the cookies, I knew she was severely and significantly dead. That said, the blood drop onto the face still freaked me out, despite the fact that the burning woman on the ceiling was, for me, the least scary part of the show.

What on earth are you talking about here? it sounds like two separate things.

Whats up with all you pansy girly "men" (i use the term loosley) doing watching Gilmore Girls?

Ooh, that resembles me. I watch Gilmore Girls in addition to my manly shows. I also game AND am a diehard sports fan. I also read comics and used to watch wrestling and soap operas.

I don't care what other people's little gender hang-ups and expectations are, I like certain things and will take it where I find it.

I love snarky, quick-witted clever dialogue. Most of the early WB shows had it. Heck, there was even a season or two when 7th Heaven was watchable. And the dialogue and delivery on Gilmore Girls is mostly amazing, except when the writers are trying so hard to be clever that they get too obscure, or contradict their previous witty banter.

To segue to Supernatural.. Did any other Gilmore Girls fans find it incredibly distracting that the guy who played Dean on Gilmore Girls and compete with a guy named Jess was Sam here, with a brother named Dean and a girlfriend named Jess? ACK. One day someone will explain how things like that don't get caught and altered to prevent confusion.

The guys seem to have decent brotherly chemistry. But two-person cast shows NEVER EVER work for me. I don't know how long they plan to keep going with monster-of-the-week, but if they don't pick up some allies, some enemies, or their dad soon, I know I will get bored.

The sfx when the woman in white faded away were over-done, when you don't have a great budget, you're always best off avoiding silly stuff like that.

But what bothered me most was the very last scene. After Sam's gf burned away on the ceiling, the show should either have just ended with him quietly driving away with his brother or come up with one more scene that was slightly less pointless and cliche than what we got.

Now that I can watch stuff at will, my bar has been lowered enough to keep watching shows that are only ok. So I'll probably stick with this for a bit to see what happens

Lana Lang's boyfriend and the Smallville High assistant football coach.

And my wife pointed out that he used to be Sammy's brother on Days of Our Lives. Sadly, when she said that, I recognized him.

And it'll be confusing that he's the actor playing Dean instead of Sammy, and the other guy plays Dean on Gilmore Girls...

I quite enjoyed it. I really like the atmosphere; like The Mummy, it's kinda tongue in cheek horror. We'll probably watch it regularly. Then again, The Gilmore Girls is my wife's favorite show EVAR, and it's on right before it. All we have to do is not change the channel.

Since "finding Dad" is the storyline of the show, I'm sure it will be a while before that happens. As far as enemies go, I'm sure we'll be hearing an awful lot more about the "thing that killed mom". Especially since it seems to be hunting them.

Or it's specifically tied to Sam somehow. I don't think it was coincidence that Mom died in Sam's room with just baby Sam for company.

So - I liked it. But I'm a total wuss when it comes to anything "scary"... especially anything "scary" that says ghosts can actually hurt me. *shudders8 Thanks to that show, I've spent the entire morning looking over my shoulder in my empty apartment.

I really liked this first episdoe.
Sufficiently creepy, good intro to the characters, enough hinted at plot lines and background to run a couple of episodes... I'm definitely gonna check out the season.

And I glad someone finally placed the actor of the younger brother. I knew the older one was LL's boyfriend from Smallville, but I had only seen Gilmore Girls a few times and couldn't place him right away.


Question for everyone. My WB cut the end of the show off. We see the puddle of water after the climax of the story a little bit of explanation on how they "solved the mystery", but then the show cut away to commercial and started a new program... Did I miss much?

I see that WB is replaying it on Thursday (in my area), so I'm gonna try and catch it again... but did I miss minutes, seconds, hours??
Just wondering.

Yes!

They find clues in the father's journal that he's in a small town in Colorado, but Sam says he really has to get home--law school interview and all that. Dean takes him home, he walks in, finds his girlfriend up on the ceiling dripping blood on his forehead, then she bursts into flames, all exactly as his mother had years ago. Next scene is outside the apartment complex, firemen are wandering around doing firefightery stuff, and we see Sam checking out Dean's armament in the back seat, obviously totally committed to re-embracing the supernatural hunter career path after all.

Hmmmm...looks like another added to the list...of potentials.

Joshua beat me to it Obviously this has something to do with Sam, definately.
