deeshopper Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 I loved the Supernatural ending and I also hated it. It really did feel like a Series ending show rather than a season ending one and they threw in that last scene just to be able to bring us back for another season. I think they could probably have done without that scene and I would have loved it more. Yeah. And may I just say: Carver Edlund is God?

RavenMad Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Perhaps Dee, or is he: Jesus. Remember when Dean called him, Chuck thought it was Lady Magda. Perhaps a DaVinci Code style tip of the hat to Jesus and his relationship with Mary Magdalene. Without getting into a big religious talk, God could have sent Jesus back again to help Dean and Sam save the world. You know, sent his only son to save us..... Food for thought. That is why it would have been such a great ending. It kind of reminds me of the Matrix films. The first one was a great movie and your imagination could run wild after watching the way the first one ended. It left you wanting more but at the same time you would have been happy with just that one movie. Then they brought out the other 2 movies and spoiled the first one. They weren't bad but they did tarnish the first movie IMO. I'm worried the same could happen with Supernatural. I want more but at the same time it would have really left me feeling good about the story and the endless possibilities about what we talked about in the Spoilers etc. With Stan Kripke stepping down from the series as well could be bad news but I will still be watching when season 6 roles around.

Spen Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hey, its entertainment, its not as good as Matlock..But its entertaining. I have never seen a Matlock so I dont know. I think about half of the 24s have been entertaining this year, others insultingly stupid, and few boring - and boring is the worst offense in my book. They have also had episodes where two years of character development has been tossed aside in seconds. The whole idea of 'we just need to get this peace treaty signed at any cost, then we'll have lasting peace' is funny. After all once a peace treaty is signed it never ever gets broken. But overall during its run it was a fun 'dont think too much' show that tried different things and was often successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millz58 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 If it wasnt the last season I would have stopped watching by now.?!?! lol, that's saying something; I only ever watched the first season plus a couple episodes into season 2, I found the weird camera usage and hectic pace a bit much; but it was intense, but I could see how it'd get played out pretty quickly.

Spen Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 ?!?! lol, that's saying something; I only ever watched the first season plus a couple episodes into season 2, I found the weird camera usage and hectic pace a bit much; but it was intense, but I could see how it'd get played out pretty quickly. I started watching on DVD about 4 seasons in and caught up. Watching them on DVD an episode a day seemed to be better. No waiting a week frustrations, you dont know when sweeps week episodes are so major events happening can actually be surprises. It seemed to be good season then bad season back and forth. Normally it was at least entertaining. I thought last year sucked but watched again because the writers claimed they were re-inventing it. This season started OK IMO, but went downhill quickly. Everything that made it stand out ended up handcuffing the writers into repeating themselves. Over and over. Hey we got the bad guy! Oops thats not really the bad guy. Someone was just pulling that bad guys strings! whoa!What? A mole at CTU? Oddly enough I feel if they would have abandoned the real time gimmick after a couple of seasons, which they will for the movies, it could have been a better show. Planning the movie now bugs me too, because I read they are tooling the ending to set up for the movie. End the show thinking of the show, not thinking of a movie. That disrespects the series and its viewers in my opinion. I hated when The X Files did it. One of their season finales led into the first movie. Go eff yourself Chrus Carter! lol I loved The X Files and cannot even watch it now because the last few years tainted the whole thing for me.

RavenMad Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I got into 24 after it had finished the first 4 seasons. My flatmate at the time had the box sets on DVD so he lent me them. I have to say this was my favourite way of watching 24. The first 3 seasons were the best with season 5 following closely behind. Season 4 and the rest were a bit of a let down. Those first 3 seasons though were amazing. I remember watching quite a few episodes per night. I would get to midnight and just finish and episode that had a cliffhanger ending and then would think, ok 1 more takes me to 12.40am That is ok, thats not too late to get up for work the next morning. Then after that episode it was, ok 1 more episode, 1.20am isn't to late....and so on. I regularly stayed up to 3 in the morning watching those seasons and would come home the next day and do the same thing. That is how much I loved them. After season 5 the show just started to get stale. I'm kind of glad this is the last season. I'm kind of watching it now for the sake of watching it end.

That is how much I loved them.My wife and I are kinda like that when we watch series on dvds, we tend to watch 2 or 3 per night to catch up quickly or just to enjoy them over again. I'm worse on my own, on the rare nights I have to myself (say if the wife and kid are out of town) I will definitely watch 5 or 6 episodes of whatever I like, in a row or just whatever I choose. I do this a lot with the first 3 seasons of X-Files (Spen, i agree about thinking the last several seasons screwed that show, but it never keeps me fron watching my favorites from seasons 1-5, and I also believe the movies, as silly as they were, were not meant for real fans of the series, just the casual ones who never took regular interest). If I'm on my own, it's a 6-pack, bag of pistachios, box sets for several seasons of whatever, and a dark viewing room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spen Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 NCIS is going to have a funky ending, poor Gibbs Let me know if Goth girl ever does any nude scenes, then I'll tune in. Ive never seen an episode but I have always liked Mark Harmon and I hear its very good. My father has them on DVD and watches over and over. Spen, i agree about thinking the last several seasons screwed that show, but it never keeps me fron watching my favorites from seasons 1-5 I am the only one I know like this, most of my friends who share the same opinion still watch the early one. Maybe some day I will. The goofy last seasons, the unanswered major questions, just left a bad taste in my mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenMad Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm missing all these great TV shows already. I'm back to watching old box sets of CSI Miami to get me through until Eureka and Lie to me starts again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeshopper Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 The CW airs the entire previous season during the summer. I'm loving rewatching Supernatural. I can't enough Dean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spen Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Finally caught up to date. Spoilers below! Its not bad but I miss the regular Sam-Dean dynamic. They can be a bit angsty when not getting along. Didnt like the hunting family much, though grandpa is OK. Pleased about Crowley being the cause, the more Crowley and Cass the better. Overall I am happier with it now than I was at the beginning of the season. Loved the Bobby episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spen Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I feel the same way, hoping that is changing. I know you like his looks, but Jensen is also a much better actor than Jared. Jared makes me laugh sometimes when he is not supposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jensen is a good actor. The season after his resurrection was probably his best season. And yes, Jared makes me laugh all the time when he's supposed to be serious. I'm not sure what it is. His Tom Brady hair cut doesn't help, that's for sure. Actually, Brady probably got his haircut from Jared, but I digress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeshopper Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just finished watching the two episodes this month that I missed. Ahh, it was like old times. I hope the show continues this track. As much as I liked the Crowley character, I'm glad he is gone. He was amusing the last couple of seasons but man, he really turned, didn't he? Every episode that includes Tessa is just so sad. I like the chemistry between her and my wonderful Dean. I'm curious to know where "following the souls" will take Dean. And the effects of Sam's soul restoration will certainly be interesting. I can't wait for January 28! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm. I dunno. This season has been kind of up and down to me. I'm still trying to figure out what the end game of the season is. Is it following the souls? Is it helping Cass get the weapons? I think this season is lacking a focus. And the long breaks don't help either. I think this last one was six weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
