I can't confirm that one way or another (since I don't know what that is), but I know there's vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters involved.

And Djinn too from what i heard.

that means that only the 5th mob family is unknown.

Mobsters meet monsters sounds like a fairly interesting concept. I think the main catch will be having good characters. A lot of Supernatural's fanbase came from people liking the characters so much. And many a spinoff has tanked because people thought they could cash in on the popularity of a series, only to realize that whatever made the original popular - the cast, the setting, the plot, whatever - ended up absent from the spinoff.

Season 2, Episode 11/Playthings was good. Nice twist there with the hoodoo being used protectively, not offensively. And I thought that there were two little girls, so the realization that the woman only had one daughter was a nice twist.

Season 2, Episode 12/Nightshifter was so intense. Great episode. I felt bad for the poor fat guy, and I hate how Dean and Sam are framed for things they didn't do.

So for some reason, the episodes after 12 seem to be shifted by one on the site I use. So I ended up watching Episode 14: Born Under a Bad Sign instead of 13: Houses of the Holy.

In any case, that was a great episode. I knew it couldn't be Sam, but I wasn't sure what the deal was. When I saw the mark on his arm, I knew it had to be something controlling him. I didn't suspect possession though, and that the mark was actually a lock to keep the demon in its host. Pretty interesting. Bobby was awesome with the holy water in the beer trick. Not bad at all. And Dean and Sam seriously need to hug one of these episodes.

Oh god they had a moment where it zoomed in on everyone's eyes

a super super serious moment

And I burst out laughing because Castiel looked a bit cross-eyed


Dean: "And I'm going to watch some asian cartoon porn."

Do you love Balthazar yet?! Love him!

I uh... really don't get it.

Death by boiling cheese... that's a new one
 
 
Oh wow Season 7 Episode 6 makes a Cube reference lol
 
Or maybe he said Cuba, I don't know
 
"Cub_ is nice this time of year."
 
"No no, we're not hiding."
 
"Is he always this stupid?"
 
Cube makes a lot more sense since the guy's a paranoid guy and suspects the governments of conspiricies and all that.
 
 
 
You know, it'd be really ****ing nice if a civilian who found out about this crap
ACTUALLY LIVED PAST THE END OF THE EPISODE.
 
In fact the whole show is becoming a broken record except with a different plot lol. Oh well. Burning the series down until the end.
 
 
Also Bobby is infinitely better than papa winchester


also also seven ****ing seasons and the brothers are still failures at covering their asses from the monsters they're hunting

All the civilians who found out used to live, in the first two seasons anyway.

Yes, Bobby is a much better father figure.

Season 2, Episode 15/Tall Tales was really entertaining, especially in the earlier half. Dean and Sam screwing with their recollections was too funny, especially when Dean had Sam acting all b*tchy at the bar and hugging some random guy. Nice to see Bobby show up again too. I would have been pretty baffled by what was going on if I hadn't recognized the Trickster right from the start and realized the deaths were karmic in nature.

The pretty ones always die.

Over.

And over.

And over.

Well, he never actually died here. Apparently it was an illusion.... or something.

Spoiler:

Well he's the Trickster. It's not necessairily an illusion but... well whatevs.
 
 
So in the earlier seasons Sam is more of the main character and in the later ones it's Dean.
 
They try to keep it balanced with character-plots but... jesus **** does it not work AT ALL.
 
In fact at this point Sam is probably my least favorite character


Great, another crappy time travelling episode

In the first two seasons, I'd say it's usually a fair balance (except for the arcing storyline episodes, where it's definitely more of Sam). From what I know of later seasons, I would say Dean gets more focus (probably around when Castiel shows up).

But why is Sam your least favorite?

Lol, yeah, I think there's quite a few in later seasons. I know at least of one in the Midwest cowboy times.

Well obviously stand-alone episodes don't count but yeah.

Well... spoilers for an... overarcing plot for him?

Spoiler:

Oh okay, yeah.

Well, I might know it, but on the off-chance that I don't, I don't want to spoil it.

Season 2, Episode 16/Roadkill was decent until the end. Whoo, that was a whammy surprise ending. Very nicely done there. I didn't suspect at all, though I felt suspicious about Sam being oddly emotional the whole episode.

Very mucha wammy
 
More time travel?
 
Oh good it isn't
 
Just finished Season 8
 
All I can say is (this is a spoiler ONLY if you've played Starcraft)

Spoiler:

 
And this is me on a quick rant which may contain a spoiler even though there's absolutely nothing about actual events
And you know what, **** this show.

Spoiler:

 
It looks like Season 9 will be pretty bad so I'm just gonna skim wikipedia and the episodes and watch any that actually seem good
 
I'm reading and it just gets crappier and crappier...
 
I might just stop watching at Season 8
 
I mean **** what the crap:

Spoiler:

 
I'm just done. Season 8 is the end for me. Everything past that... nope.

So much rage. D:

Well, for some reason a few episodes are uploaded in season 2 with the wrong titles, so I just watched some out of sequence.

Season 2, Episode 19/Folsom Prison Blues was good. It's so unjust to see poor Dean and Sam continually crapped on for crimes they didn't do. The twist on having the killer ghost be the prison nurse instead of the obvious killer inmate was appreciated.

Season 2, Episode 18/Hollywood Babylon was great. Dean was just too funny in that one. "You're one hell of a PA." :P I sensed from the start that it was going to be about the chant being authentic, though I didn't think to suspect that it was the one PA/writer guy behind it. I loved how the director ended up incorporating their fight with the ghosts into the movie lol. And the look on Sam's face. XD

Season 2, Episode 20/What Is and What Never Should Be was so good. What a heart-wrenching episode. Poor Dean. Jensen Ackles (his actor) really gave a fantastic performance in that episode.

The two-part finale is next. It doesn't seem like the Yellow-Eyes/Azazel plot is likely to resolve this suddenly, so I assume this is just going to ramp up the stakes, which will be dealt with in season 3. Cause I'm pretty sure:

Spoiler:

Season 2, Episode 13/Houses of the Holy was quite interesting. I wasn't surprised that it turned out to be the priest's spirit, but I liked them introducing the concept of angels. And that last guy's death with a pipe through the heart like Michael's spear was pretty cool.

Also, this gem:

"Well, I think I learned a lesson here. Always take down your decorations after New Years, or you'll get filleted by a hooker from God."

Oh, Dean. XD

Season 2, Episode 17/Heart was surprisingly dark. I definitely thought it was the stalker ex-boyfriend getting rid of what he thought to be competition. Definitely took me by surprise that it was the girl herself, and then that it was her kindly neighbor who infected her. I expected a typically sweet (or bittersweet) ending where they save the girl, especially when they stayed up all night and she was fine. Holy crap, didn't expect that she would end up turning after all, and that Sam would have to put her down. That gunshot cut to credit was just... wow.

And now for some mood whiplash, apparently, Sammy can get in on the act too lol.

"Check the freezer. There might be some human hearts behind the Haagen-Dazs." Lol. XD

well, Season 9 of supernatural was better than season 8

I never really liked the plot so I stopped at season 8.
