SPN Ep: Bloodlines

So that was the backdoor pilot, eh?

May I say how lovely it is to see Chicago playing itself on TV? Usually when I see "Chicago" on TV, Chicago is being played by Toronto. In fact, I'm so used to seeing Toronto pretending to be Chicago on TV that the one time I actually went to Toronto, everything looked familiar like I'd been there before. [Hee, and the Toronto gods are angry. I just now this second got an email notification about a Supernatural con in Toronto.] Anyway, it was nice to see Chicago on TV and recognize places I've been in real life. I think I even caught a glimpse of a building where I used to work.

As for the pilot itself, I liked the budding friendship between David and Ennis, and I liked the variety of supernatural creatures, but overall I think this (potential) show may be too soapy for me. I don't know. The jury's still out, but nothing in it really grabbed me and said this was a show I'd look forward to seeing.

Yeah, maybe I'll let a few eps accumulate and then have a look in... I don't even know if it's supposed to be an off-season show or launch alongside supernatural in fall. Hmmm, we'll see.

So Chicago always has apocalyptic weather? well, at least you built in stone and steel too, so it doesn't look like the Midwest after. Heard tornado season did the whole year's worth of storms in one weekend, I'm so glad that passed me by when i was over yonder.

Let's just say that when I travel, I find the weather elsewhere terribly boring.

Ehehee, that's funny! I was always fascinated with how little it rained every time I visited the UK. There go your stereotypes.
