What a long road it's been

Nice Supernatural retrospective special last night. Loved that they used that "Special Presentation" graphic again like during the Christmas episode. I, of course, am old enough to have actually seen the real "Special Presentation" for shows way back in the 80's. :-)

It's hard to sum up a show that's been on for nine years in just 45 minutes but they did a pretty good job. Loved that it was Rob Benedict that narrated it. It really, REALLY made me miss the early years of the show, when the brothers truly did care for one another. Now? Yeah, don't get me started. You all know my views on SPN the last couple of seasons.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did they even mention John and Mary's names?? We got a couple glimpses of them, but I swear they never even said who they were and that really irritated me.

They did pretty much hit all the highlights, though, from the mythology to angels and demons to the Monsters of the Week to the Impala. Was cool to see Eric Kripke. I wonder how much involvement he still has, if he even watches anymore.

I expected more interview with Jensen and Jared. They didn't really say all that much.

After having quit watching SPN about halfway through last season I'm going to give it another shot tonight. Simply because of Dean and only Dean now that it appears after nine years he may actually have a storyline! What a concept! Then again, I don't know why I'm getting my hopes up. He'll be "cured" in two episodes and then it will be like it never even happened to him.

What did you guys think of the special? Thumbs up? Thumbs down?
