AgtSpooky's Hangout

Week 60  

1.) How do you feel about the fact that Supernatural reruns are going to be replaced by Reaper after the next four episodes air?

I'm actually not that upset about it. That probably comes from the fact that this isn't the first time Reaper has taken our timeslot. And the fact that we all know that Dawn O. doesn't like SPN, doesn't "get it" and that Reaper is her baby. Not surprising that she'd push SPN to the side for Reaper. But I'm also not worried about SPN's chances at renewal, since it's been leaving Reaper in the dust, ratings wise.

2.) Have you read either/both of the Supernatural companion novels? If so, how would you like future Supernatural novels to compare or contrast to the two existing novels?

I've read both companion novels. Hated "Nevermore" with a passion but greatly enjoyed "Witch's Canyon". As for future SPN novels - they need to throw DeCandido under a bus. He has NO concept of Sam and Dean as characters and his book with two plotlines was boring and muddled. (Unfortunately I know he's contracted for the next novel [sigh]) Now Mariotte got it right. I loved the way he portrayed Sam and Dean and really enjoyed the flashbacks he put in there. While there was one point I expressed disbelief at one point of the plot, overall it was cohesive.

So I'm all for future SPN novels being written in the style of "Witch's Canyon" - good brother stuff, good dialogue between the boys, a plot that moves along and has just enough creepy/scary stuff in there, too.

3.) How has the WGA strike/hiatus affected you? Has it helped you to explore other parts of the Supernatural fandom? Or do you feel yourself drifting away?

I drifted away before season 3 even started, because of the (pointless, IMO) introduction of Ruby and Bela. I've only seen 2 episodes this season - Bedtime Stories and A Very Supernatural Christmas - because they are the only two that feature just Sam and Dean.

So because I know that one or the other girl will be in 3 of the next 4 scheduled to air, the strike isn't affecting me, since I don't have a desire to see any of those episodes anyway.

4.) If Dean dies, what do you think Sam will do? Will he continue to hunt? Live an 'apple pie' life? Jump off a cliff? Or something else?

I don't see Sam living an 'apple pie life' at all if Dean dies. I know that that's what Dean wants him to do, to get back to 'normal' but I believe Sam will continue hunting. For revenge, if nothing else. Killing everything he can, because an evil thing took his brother from him, and the world needs to be rid of evil so that this doesn't happen to another family.

5.) Do you think the supernatural creatures that the boys fight off every week are too two-dimensional? Should the writers give them more substance sort of like they did with Madison from "Heart" so that it's harder for the boys to just blast them away?

I think it would be great if they interacted more with some of the creatures instead of just blowing them away. I liked the moral dilemma that was brought up in Bloodlust, too, that not everything is black and white in the supernatural world.
 

The Week 36 Friday Five:

1. If Dean and Sam were let loose in a mall with $1000 each, which stores do you think they would hit and what do you think they would buy?

Hmmm....Sam would split his cash between an electronics store for an upgrade on the laptop and the other half in the nearest bookstore.

For Dean, he'd blow the whole wad at Bass Pro Shops - guns and knives section, naturally. :-)

2. Do you think Dean and Sam have a favourite article of clothing? If so, which piece of clothing do you think is their favourite?

For Dean it's his leather jacket. From the looks of it, he's had it for a long time. I can almost picture it being a rare gift from John at some point in Dean's life.

Sam? I think Sam's got a t-shirt that Dean gave him, something with a goofy saying on it that he loves to wear underneath all those layers of outer shirts and hoodies. :-)


3. Who would win in a fight: Bobby or Gordon? And why?

I know Gordon's younger, but Bobby is one crafty devil. I can see it working out like in Indiana Jones - Gordon's all cocky, swinging a machete or something and Bobby just pulls out a gun and shoots him. ;-)


4. Which is your least favourite episode of season two, and why?

No Exit. Jo. End of story.


5. Other than their dad, who do you think were Sam and Dean's childhood heroes?

We know that John came in contact with other hunters, so I can see Dean finding a role model or hero in one of them. And Sam...I think it may have been a teacher of his, maybe in middle school, who told him that he had the potential to do whatever he wanted. Opened up Sam's eyes that there was more out there in the world that he could do, other than hunting.

The Week 28 Friday Five:

1. If Sam and/or Dean have children, do you think they will bring up their children learning how to hunt or give them a "normal" upbringing?

I'd say that Sam would strive for normal, but with Dean as his children's uncle, telling fantastic tales about the supernatural, I think it might be an uphill battle for him. :-)

With Dean, I'd say he'd teach his kids about what was out there in the night, simply to protect them, make them aware, you know?


2. What do you think about the usage of song titles as episode titles? (Ex: In My Time of Dying, Houses of the Holy)

I love it. With the classic rock soundtrack of the show, these titles work perfectly.


3. Of the songs played on the show thus far, which one do you like the least?

Ummm...the Barry White one from Tall Tales.


4. Assuming Sam and Dean had any sort of "normal" childhood toy, what do you think it was?

For Dean, toy cars and for Sam, probably some geeky science experiment set. :-)


5. What is one quote you think best describes Sam and Dean each?

Dean: Sam, look. The three of us, that's all we have...that's all I have. Sometimes I feel like I'm barely holding it together, man...

Sam : I still wanna find Dad. And you’re still a pain in the ass. But, Jess and Mom - they’re both gone. Dad is God knows where. You and me. We’re all that’s left. So, if we’re gonna see this through, we’re gonna do it together.
