9.20 Initial reaction: WTF?

Apr 30, 2014 07:37

Well, that wasn't a waste of 42 minutes of my life. Because I only spent about 10 minutes watching it. As soon as the Supernatural title card showed up, I decided to fast-forward through every scene that didn't include Sam and/or Dean. So these are the notes I took last night:( Click for vaguely spoilery content )

9.20 bloodlines, supernatural, initial reaction, season 9

All in the Family begat The Jeffersons, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show gave us Rhoda and Lou Grant.

This is a beautiful and perfect definition of "spinoff." Too bad Carver & crew don't seem to know the meaning of the word.

"I resent that this show even exists." Because they wasted an episode of Supernatural (at this point in the season!) on this crap.

OH SO TRUE.

I had it on with the mute on for a good chunk, because, well...who cares?

Well, you gave it more of a shot than I did. I literally had my finger on the FF button the whole time.

I was watching it in real time.

caranfindel April 30 2014, 16:37:35 UTC

Ah. I never do that. I'd rather watch 30 min later than sit through commercials.

I'm with you on this. What utter bollocks!

I can't decide if Lucien Lavinscourt sounds more like a Harry Potter villain or a soap.

caranfindel April 30 2014, 16:32:07 UTC

LOL! I'm voting for HP villain.

Lol - and he doesn't even have a good American accent (let alone a good Chicago accent - and I'm British... I don't even know what a 'good' Chicago accent is supposed to sound like). I definitely heard some of his native northern English accent creep in in the middle of the episode though.

I hadn't heard of Lucien before he was announced in the spinoff, but turns out he's been doing the rounds of high school-based dramas and soaps in the UK for the last few years, playing teenage parts only. He's also a failed pop star and a reality TV star, apparently taking part in Celebrity Big Brother a couple of years ago (not quite sure how he classes as a celebrity though).

I know! Right? NOT freakin' pleased. Do they think our fandom is the CW fandom? Because it's not. I, too, remember All in the Family (i.e. I'm 50+). I want Sam, Dean, and Supernatural's mythology, not another freakin' CW type show...
