The Winchesters

I gotta say that it's pretty nostalgic to see my timeline freak out over the Supernatural universe again.

I don't have a means to watch the show, but I have to admit that I find myself more curious than I thought I would be. And from the promo I've seen leading up to it (and the people behind it), I actually think there are a characters that I'd

I loved it. Watching the show felt like going home again to Supernatural. The show felt familiar, and yet it felt fresh. The characters are fun and quirky. I was excited about the show, and now after having seen the first episode, I'm just that much more excited about the show. I have full trust in Jensen and Robbie to do right by Supernatural and us fans. Especially after hearing Robbie answer questions at the NYCC. The've got this and I'm excited to take the ride with them.

Nothing negative to say about the show. All positive from here, for now.

As for you watching the show, are you able to download the CW app in Canada?? That's how I watch any show on the CW.

Nice!! That's really good to hear!!

I don't like watching things on my phone, so not interested in teh CW app... also, I don't think it works in Canada? We used to be able to watch SPN on Netflix eventually, so maybe the Winchesters will be the same once the season is over. Who knows? I used to just illegally download SPN when I couldn't watch it at my friends house, but since I haven't been watching TV, I'm not sure my pirate sites are still functioning... also, not sure I want to commit. But definitely good to hear that you enjoyed it and it's all positives! Maybe it'll be a little higher on the list of shows to eventually track down and check out :)

I know in fandom that the reaction is mixed as to the premise of this show. I'm not sure yet what the overall opinion is of this episode yet. I liked it and don't want to spoil my squee so I think I'll just not go looking for reactions. I know of some fans that really didn't care for either John or Mary so they don't have a lot of excitement for the show. I hope they give it a chance. I can't wait to watch it again

Yeah, let me know what Val says, if she still has a source.

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Definitely don't let anyone harsh your squee!! I think some people will always be turned off anything that is Supernatural related but not Supernatural, or they're less willing to give alternative-canon a shot, or whatever the show is doing - and that's fine. I have to admit that I'm not that interested in the main JohnxMary romance, but I AM interested in a Supernatural show being set-up as an ensemble show from the jump. SPN always flirted with ensemble in the later seasons, but could never pull it together - I guess because it wasn't originally set up that way, so possibly budgets and writing habits got in the way of diverting too much from the double-lead. Which was fine! But I always wondered what it would be like with a good ensemble.

I'm also interested in The Winchesters because I already know I like Robbie's approach to characters and writing, so I think he could do well with being given the reigns, and it seems Jensen agrees with me!

I heard back from Val. This is what she said. "Right now the reliable site is scene-rls.net with scnsrc.me as a good secondary choice

Thanks! I'll check those out.

I think even before SPN ended, the fandom had moved onto FB, twitter and tumblr and places like that. I was part of a community on discord for a bit too, but ultimately left when they were a little too negative for my tastes and when I found my interest in discussion waning with people's division in opinion over the final episodes
