From: What Are You Watching Now?

Digging this thread up again so I don't have to make a new one. (Seems like a waste to do that, when there's this perfectly good thread right here!



SO. I started Supernatural recently, and am nearing the end of Season 2. I walk while I watch, as exercise, and I get some serious miles in when I like the show. Last night, I walked 7.9 miles because I just couldn't stop watching, until the tablet needed to be plugged in. Damn show broke my heart. Twice. Bastard. So good. I watched 2x16 through 2x20, so I had Roadkill (cool way to do a cut/dry ghost story), and Heart (WHICH RIPPED MINE OUT, My poor Sammy [werewolf]), then Hollywood Babylon (is this the best episode, because it was Easter Egg hunting season), Folsom Prison Blues (nice episode in general), and then What Is and Should Never Be (RIPPING MY HEART OUT AGAIN, [Jinn bastard]).

Next two epis are a two parter, and season finale. Husband gets home tonight, and I'm worried that the way the show is going I'm going to freaking break out crying and scare the crap out of him!

It's so very "boy Buffy" to me! I love it! Goofy and sometimes scary. I "liveblog" them (into my email) and then post it to Tumblr that deals only with my tv/books. Mainly because I need to react as I watch, and have nowhere else to put it lol. The show fits my interests perfectly, and I'm already pretty obsessed with it.

I've ALWAYS been fascinated with monsters. In elementary I read every book on vampires that the school library had. I wrote a paper, A PAPER, for myself, for no reason, on how they could be explained with real medical science. The only time I had to go to the hospital as a kid, Mom stayed and we watched Dracula (Legosi). In my 20s I ran a website where I attempted to collect ALL the vampire lore, ALL OF IT, and began reviewing books and movies about them. I expanded into werewolves, and later zombies. I abandoned the project when I went back to college. When I read the Lestat series, I was all "I'M TALAMASCA!" When I saw Buffy, I was all "I'm A WATCHER!" I took a class in folklore and was like "I WANT A DEGREE IN MONSTERS!" (I got one that will pay bills, instead.) But, Supernatural, and shows like it, are just perfect for me. Yea, the guys are gorgeous, and funny, definitely helps, but MONSTERS. MONSTERS MONSTERS MONSTERS.
