You may have already seen the series premiere of "Supernatural" on Yahoo! -- but if not, here's your chance. As young boys, brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki, "Gilmore Girls") and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles, "Smallville") witnessed their mother's paranormal death. Their father, who wants nothing more than to kill the "thing" that murdered his wife, has since trained his sons to fight back. But Sam wants a "normal" life -- and escapes to college to try and find one. Suddenly, Dean shows up on his doorstep with news that their father is missing. Following clues from a phone message, Dean and Sam travel to a small town and encounter a vengeful spirit called the "Woman in White."

They should've just named this one: X-Files: the next generation.
The relationship between the brothers was interesting to watch, just not sure how the whole plot line for the series is going to work. Brothers ghost bust across the country while searching for missing Dad???? WTF! And why wouldn't the father just use a phone? The whole plot, the more I think about it, seems totally lame.
Posted 13 September 2005 - 09:12 PM
Although, I'm wondering what being in this series is going to do for Jensen Ackles's character on Smallville?
Posted 13 September 2005 - 10:22 PM
I actually liked this one as it leaves us with that mystery and questions to answer...
Tho I may have to tape it and watch in the daylight hours.
Will be interesting to see if they can sustain interest in the overall story arc as the weeks go by but this one grabbed my interest in a way that only Lost has before it....and I personally disliked X-Files
Definitely on my must see list for this season.....so far
And I'm thinking that Jensen Ackeles' Smallville character must be a no show for this season or only put in a brief appearance perhaps
Posted 13 September 2005 - 11:59 PM
I liked it. Not as much as I thought I would, but still. It wasn't that scary to me, but I love horror movies so maybe I'm just numb now.
The interactions between the brothers was good. Jensen Ackles was funny as Dean, but he's always been a smartass in just about everything he plays.
Them searching for their dad doesn't bother me. We've seen one episode. It could go in any direction. It could be that next episode has them lose all track of their dad. IIRC, the creators said that they didn't want a long arc like Los or Alias. They wanted each episode to be pretty much self contained. They said the arc would slowly unfold. I like that. Don't get me wrong, I love story arcs, but it'll be nice not to have to remember every little detail of every show, and to be totally lost by missing one episode.
This show has promise. The first episode was good, and I think they're only going to get better.

Ye gods, that was exactly as dull as I expected it to be. Nice to see it lived up to expectations.
The teaser and tag were vaguely interesting as was the potential arc, but the episode's story and characters... it would be difficult to care less if I bothered to try.
Meh.
One show down, how many more new ones left to suffer through... err... check out?

Funny, because right before the show came on, a message saying: "Don't turn out the lights" came on.
So, naturally I thought it be scary...and since horror movies are best in the dark, I turned every light off.
At the end of the show I was like: "That's it?" That's what they call scary?
Posted 14 September 2005 - 12:51 AM
Gotta agree with LoTS. Not as scary as I expected. The only show that's ever actually made me get a little scared is The X-Files. I think it will get better.
Posted 14 September 2005 - 12:56 AM
This show was supposed to be scary. It wasn't. There were comedy X-Files episodes that were scarier. The creator of the show desribed the brothers as Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. The younger brother Sam must've been Luke because he whined a little too much.
Posted 14 September 2005 - 04:55 AM
Perhaps not that scary but there was that initial scary moment...recreated later that got to me. Not sure why exactly...perhaps my own personal long running nightmare of being burned alive made it scary for me...
I can see a lot of promise here but whether it will continue is a whole other question
As to it being dull or whatever....to each their own. We will never all agree on something. But I see some promise here and except for the rare exception I seldom like pilots for any show even if I later become a big fan.
Posted 14 September 2005 - 08:19 AM
I'm with thosethat enjoyed it, and nope i don't see any connection at all with X-Files! Actualy with the ghost hunters in a big black muscle car with a case of weapons in the trunt and loving the power guitar bands.....i was thinking Phantasim 2!!!! (Just without all the brain sucking!)
It is the main arc, finding dad and the evil force that killed mom that will make our break the show. Without that it is just Buffy without the Joss!
As to how scary? Eh! It takes a lot more then a TV show to scare me. Horror movies work because there are no commercials and the lights are out. You can't get scared when a breakfest cerial commecial comes on in the middle of the big scare.
I will be watching this next week!

Not too bad, I'll keep watching since there is usually nothing to watch on TV Tuesday nights anyways.
Also it's nice to see that there is finally something I can watch on the WB network!
Posted 14 September 2005 - 06:30 PM
I enjoyed this overall...although, there were a few points where I just tuned out. I was watching, but not watching. I find it interesting...that the thing that killed their mother is the same thing that killed the girlfriend. Also interesting that it hasn't killed any other woman in all this time. I would really like to find out exactly what that thing is.
I will keep watching and hope they explain it someday.
Posted 14 September 2005 - 07:09 PM
^^^ and another question is why it killed his mother AND his girlfriend....
Whoever or whatever was standing over HIS crib as a baby.... and then kills HIS girlfriend...so is this all somehow aimed at Sam? Is it going to turn out that he is 'special' in some as yet unknown way?
Those are the questions that may keep me tuning in...not so much the search for Dad thing.
Oh and the interaction between the two lead actors
Posted 14 September 2005 - 07:44 PM
I think it's a curse on the family, that the women they fall in love with will always die in that way, were they can see them. It might have been laid on their grandfather or further back, and the father just never knew how his mother died.
The other option is that some entity that really doesn't like the family has a very specific tactics for getting at them. However if the father was the first of the family to get into the whole battling spirits and stuff what did they do that resulted in this entiity being so pissed at them?
Posted 14 September 2005 - 09:08 PM
We don't know if the entity has or hasn't killed any other women yet. They said they hadn't found it, but nothing about if they found other victims like their mother. So I say it's up in te air right now if this thing has killed anyone else besides the mom and girlfriend. Though I do believe Sam is special in some way.
The arc will keep me coming back, but also the individual legends they'll encounter. I liked the Woman in White legend, and how it was dealt with. So I'm looking forward to seeing what other American legends they use.

I quickly lost interest. What I saw just looked very typical of most horror type genre. Looked pretty predictable to me. I stopped watching after about the first 15 or 20 minutes. Didn't think it was worth wasting my time on.
Posted 16 September 2005 - 10:54 AM
Awwwwwwwwww I liked it! It's not brilliant or anything mostly because the two leads um....need some work on their acting... and because the premise is not only not new it's not particularly fresh. The fx were good and I liked a lot of the writing (especially the mulder/scully quip) but I can't believe it's cheaper to produce than Angel and I'm wondering why WB would cancel one show about a bunch of people who hunt supernatural bad guys and replace it with another show about a bunch of people who hunt supernatural bad guys. *Shrug*

Posted 17 September 2005 - 07:06 PM
Hmm what does this show have to do with Angel?
Lessee, the cast? Nope!
The writers? No!
Oh speaking of cast Dave Boringanus has a new job on Bones fyi.
I was surprised you didn't work in a Firefly reference, you're off your game there hun.

You know what, you're right. Lessee now.
Hmmmm. Yes. I PROTEST the fact that Summer Glau (River) was not cast in the roll of the Woman in White.
Posted 18 September 2005 - 08:42 PM
I missed the first showing of this because of a conflict with another show, but I found a repeat showing this afternoon. Still missed the first 15 minutes, because I didn't know it was on, but if the Sunday repeat showing is going to be an ongoing thing and not just a one-shot, I'll probably watch.
Didn't seem overly original, but there's still enough interesting bits to make me want to see if it gets better. Well, that and Ackles is v. pretty.
