SPN

I *finally* watched "Provenance" two nights ago when I couldn't get to sleep. Oh what a night - two episodes of "Medium", half of a "Crossing Jordan" and SPN's "Provenance" (that's the one with the creepy family painting in it and the people getting their necks slashed open) and I finally got to sleep at four in the morning!

So - the episode! Wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be, really. I didn't like the brunette barbiedoll they had playing the deep cleavaged daughter of the auction-house dealer. I was kinda hoping the dealer and her *would* get their throats slashed, but it was not meant to be. Dean was also not quite the same character I thought he was (I'd seen an episode that took place in an abandoned asylum - much better ep than this one). He's such a guy-ho! I didn't know that! And that 70's wacka-wacka-hotel room? Do they check into weird rooms like that every episode? And have they ever checked into a haunted/demon infested hotel room without knowing it?

I thought the mystery was kinda shallow. If I hadn't known who the killer was, would I have guessed? I have no idea. But I would have appreciated more lore, like in Buffy, where there'd be a *reason* for the haunting human-demon thingy to BE there, other than to cause havok-and-death-by-nasty-means (TM).

I like the look of this show - the producers certainly love the bleached blue-black end of the color spectrum a whole lot. It fits.

There are SO much better eps than Provenance! Don't give up. This was not typical Dean or even Sam. While many of the episodes do stand alone and can be viewed out of sequence and appreciated, if you can get them in order and watch them that way, they take on whole new meanings. This is my favorite new show this year and I hope it's back as big and bad next year!

And on the shallow end, there's a scene with Sam in the towel, wow, my heart has not been the same since! /g/
