Supernatural

[gategrrl]

I'm dipping my toes back into Supernatural after having given last season a miss. It doesn't *feel* as if I've missed a whole lot, though, considering how many of my flist are into this show.

This wasn't full of the frights as I thought it would be. No jumps, no shocks. Just some Heaven and Hell talk, a grim reaper (I was half expecting Ellen Muth as George to pop in as a Reaper). I thought the conversations were well done and delivered. I know I missed nuances, but that's what I get for coming in more than half-way through the fourth season.

The angel wasn't as angelic as I'd have expected (ie, no unearthly beauty there!). I did enjoy the psychic the brothers called in. It was plainly an arc episode, but fortunately, it didn't feel unfinished.

I liked the kid who played the dead boy. I swear I've seen him somewhere else but I can't figure out where. The talk Tessa the reaper gave him sort of negated what Sam told him (Cole? Shout out to the Sixth Sense? Sure....) Really, the kid didn't have any choice, and it was silly to let him think he had one.

I've set this series on mt DVR for record, so I won't miss it next week.

If you still like that kind of dynamic, try out the Cal Leandros books (reviewed on my page). Weren't you one of the ones to tell me about it, though? If you were, never mind. But the dynamics of brothers is really there.

:-) I can't remember if I told you about the books or not, but I started reading them shortly after deej1957 mentioned them in her journal maybe a year or so ago. I have Deathwish sitting on my desk right now.

I love these books. :-)
