So
newredshoes showed me a couple of episodes of Supernatural (the pilot and "Skin"), which, yes, I know, I am the last person on the planet to have seen any of this before.
Um. It's...all right? I mean, it's certainly not a bad show. Dean and Sam are very nifty, and I really like their interactions. But the episodes seem to be about 25% Dean and Sam being very amusing together, and 75% rather mediocre X-Files. And while that 25% is totally made of win, the other 75% is...not doing it for me. I mean, granted, I've only seen a couple of episodes, and I'm sure the show could grow on me yet, but...meh. So far, I'm really not getting why this is the fandom that ate my f-list.
OMG don't hurt me please.I have no wish to harsh anyone's squee, though, so be merry with the show you love! Lord knows I wish the shows I
am into had such wonderful fandoms.
But we also watched
The History Boys, and oh my god, I have seen this movie like five times already and my love for it just grows exponentially every time. Oh,
boys. And Dakin is totally my avatar for Marauders-era Sirius, by the by.
ETA: I must say, though, as an X-phile, it did give me quite a start to see Duane Barry in the Supernatural pilot. :) Filming in Vancouver, I'll bet that if I keep watching, I'll see a few more familiar faces among the extras.
