Sorry "Bloodlines" - you bled out for this viewer

Decided to tune back into SPN last night for one episode because it was filmed here in Chicago. I loved seeing my city actually playing Chicago and places I'm familiar with. But other than that, I needn't have bothered. "Bloodlines" was an awful rip-off of Kindred: The Embraced, populated with nothing but typical young, pretty CW actors with one bland expression. I'm so not interested in a Romeo and Juliet soap opera version of gritty and dark Supernatural. Boooooring. But that's typical CW fare so I shouldn't be surprised. I was really hoping I was going to enjoy the spin off, but with the exception of David I couldn't connect with any of the characters. Speaking of David and the "shifters" did I miss something along the way, with them not having to shed their skins and just change instantaneously? Are we just rewriting SPN canon again when it suits the writers?

What did all of you think of Bloodlines? Interested enough to tune in if it gets picked up to series or are you changing the channel? It'll be interesting to see what the ratings are later today.

Ha, there was no Sam/Dean drama because they were only in it for five minutes! :-)

I’m with you - I’m getting too old to be able to relate to all these 20-somethings on every show nowadays. Give me mature actors, thank you. As much as I like SHIELD, it could have benefited by having older, seasoned actors like Clark Gregg and Ming Na instead.
