My biggest pet peeve with the show is that the Winchesters .. well, they don't learn. I understand that when you start your career as a monster hunter, you might get into stupid trouble or end up fist fighting that monster because you have no weapon, but after years and years .. they are still doing that. Oh no, it's a demon/vampire/djinn/changeling/werewolf/angel/leviathan/whatever, let's charge, get our as* handed to us, and now one of us is tied to a chair, the bad guy is giving his cliche speech and the other one just manages to save everybody. Just.
But .. this is minor. Show me another show that mocks itself by creating vision driven fanfiction (including homosexual fanfiction) with a huge following, about the brothers that they discover by accident.
Anyway, the show is great (at least the first 6 or so seasons are) and any fan of urban fantasy, rpg games and things like the gateway to hell being guarded by a many miles wide train tracks pentagram created by one Samuel Colt will enjoy it.

I'll put my response in spoilers, just in case someone who hasn't caught up scrolls by...

Spoiler for spoilers ahead!:
I basically agree with everything you said. Sam and Dean have been through so much, it's kind of unbelievable when a human or monster manages to get the drop on them. Also, since Sam and Dean have both died and come back so many times, it kinda takes a lot of tension out of the show. You're never worried about either of them dying, because you know the show'll just bring them right back.

I've always thought that they should wrap up Sam and Dean's story in some epic way, and then focus on a completely new group of hunters. That way, you get fresh faces and situations, and there would be tension since you're not sure who will live and who will die, you know?

Pokemon: Indigo League

I've got LiL to watch this and she loves it. I remember watching this when it first came out, and watching it again is so much fun. Genuinely a great show. First two seasons are on Netflix.

Metamorphosis: The Science of Change

Film-maker David Malone explores the science behind metamorphosis - the amazing transformation of one creature into a totally different being. How does it happen and why?

Very good watch. Starts out looking at animal metamorphosis - caterpillars changing into butterflies, tadpoles into frogs, grasshoppers into locusts, but ends up looking at how humans metamorphosise using their minds. Enjoyed it a lot.

Spoiler for spoilers for Supernatural:
That was always something that bugged me too, as well as their complete disregard for the lives of the humans possessed by demons as well as the general power creep of the show. In the first season there was an episode where they captured the 2nd in command to the big bad, and were all set to exorcise the demon when another hunter mentioned that if they do that, the girl being possessed will die (she had fallen out a window). It created this big moral conundrum for them, and even went into the season finale when one of the brothers had to shoot a possessed human beating on the other brother to save him. Fast forward to season 3 when they get the demon killing knife and then it just becomes a stab-a-thon with absolutely no regard for the people they are actually killing. I haven't watched since season 8 so maybe they've addressed this issue, but even then, it's still kind of a major plothole the writers decided was too inconvenient to address.

The second problem, as I mentioned, was the power creep. Power creep, if you're unfamiliar with the term, is used in gaming when there becomes an unbalance with the release of new content. Basically, as more content (be it DLC, expansions, weapon packs, etc.) gets released, the game needs to be rebalanced so it does not become too easy for those who have that new content. In relation to the show, the Winchesters, since about season 4, have steadily received "upgrades" for lack of a better term, to their arsenal. They had Ruby's demon killing knife from season 3, they got the Colt working again, and then they got an angel BFF which almost literally gives them God Mode. Yet despite all that, apart from the Leviathans from season 7, there never really seemed to be a great external threat after season 5 (although that may have something to do with Season 5's baddie being the literal fucking Devil).

Now that's one big slice of my childhood. They used to have that show on almost constant reruns around the time schools got out during the weekdays, so I've probably seen every single episode of the first three or four or five or however many seasons at least twelve times.

Season 2 is fantastic as well, but after that the show started going downhill. Or maybe I was just pissed they started ****ing with the cast. I don't remember who the guy who replaced Brock was, but he was an annoying tool and I hated him, and if the girl who replaced Misty the next season was any better it was because she was a Misty clone.

Damn. Still bitter. That wound clearly runs deep.
