Okay.
I got my watch buddy onboard and we sat down Saturday afternoon and binged the hell out of The Winchesters.
And, you know what? It was a damn fine show. I mean it's all LOL, canon -never heard it but you know, I'm a Whovian. I can deal.
I respect that it's total fan service while being also being nevermind about SPN enough that you can jump into it with almost zero knowledge of 15 ponderous years of lore. Even personally watching almost the entire run - and even rewatching parts of it - I'm fuzzy on some points because Fifteen. Years. Of. Lore. Because unlike, say, The X-Files where you got either MotW (monster of the week) eps or LORE TIME MOFOs, SPN first gave us Dad's Journal (TM) and with a side of You Just Thought This Was a Throwaway Line, along side the Plot Arc(s) from (literal) Hell.
I also respect that the gore level is more along the lines off later SPN rather than the early eps. Because early SPN really pushed the limit for me.

I really like Carlos. He's definitely worth watching for.
I like that they gave Mary and John their own hunting family, but I'm not convinced they are setting John up for a better future.
I completely agree with Tumblr that this is the Ackles' fanfic and I'm kind of into it
Curious to see how the next ep pans out.
