[QUOTE="Wayside, post: 2614196, member: 8394"] None, but they've all seen [i]Ravenous[/i] and encountered the basic "eat human flesh go bestial become immortal" shtick before. Lots of Robert Carlyle fans. Certainly true in my case, but I'm not relying on myself here. That's certainly possible, but the Jersey Devil can't be a good example. I mean there are whole videogames devoted to it, are there not? I mentioned this a page or two ago. But these things [i]aren't[/i] obscure at university. This is where people go nuts for things that are "obscure" by other peoples' standards, but then there are [i]so[/i] many kids on this same path that these things more or less cease to be obscure at all. I know [i]tons[/i] of people who've seen the Ginger Snaps movies. It's all about what void you hope Supernatural will fill. Someone in another thread mentioned they wanted it to be the new Buffy. I don't think that's going to happen, but I'm sure hoping for more creative fringe ideas and fewer blah man-beasts. That said I enjoyed last night's episode [i]much[/i] more. It wasn't perfect by any means, but there were some great moments, from "I'm agent Ford, this is agent...Hamil" to those couple shots of the kid's corpse in the water at the end, and many things in-between. I [i]loved[/i] when he popped out of the water up to his eyes like some kind of zombie frog. I think I may have cheered out loud. In general I thought the cinematography was a lot stronger too (especially what felt like some changes in fps when they were filming liquid, which made it more sinister), although there were a few cheesey fades and some soundstage car scenes (don't see the point of that, since they went on location anyway).
