    When there's almost a page of heated praise for Supernatural, one can easily identify the target audience for this show.

    I still fail to see what all the fuss is about with that show.


    "Seriously, man. WWBD? What would Buffy do?"--a line like that forces me to change the channel. I hate that shit.

    it was used ironically, you turd. by very stereotypical geek paranormal investigators, who aren't the main characters.

    Still changing the channel.

    So the premise makes me want to watch this show despite J. J. Abrams being involved

    I do hope it's more of a monster-of-the-week type of show though, with a sort of overarcing storyline playing out in the background. Sorta like Burn Notice (which I really need to watch the second season of)

    But they didn't let the whole crazy organization thing interfere with the creepy serial killer investigation.

    And in the second season there was an episode with demons in a coffee shop.

    Demons.

    hey, I didn't spend all those years playing dungeons and dragons and not learn a little something about courage

    I learned everything about Courage from Japanese super robot shows, which taught me that , with the right equipment, courage can be used to power gigantic humanoid fighting machines and weaponry that can shatter stars as well as turn zero percent into a hundred.

    so i have to wait until sunday to start watching this?
    Ok, honestly, have none of you heard of the internet? I am shocked at how many people have said "Oh no it was on tonight! I'll watch it Sunday." I watch all TV online, and this is something that'll probably end up on a legit site like Hulu or something if you consider it sin to watch something ad-free.

    I was basically asking if it was on Hulu, yes.

    This really isn't fringey

    Biological terrorism is pretty much at the top of the list in terms of importance

    [edit] I wish this was about two cops who acted like Egon and Peter Venkman and spent their time in a shitty office in the basement of the FBI building listening to white noise and being scoffed at until suddenly they find something legitimate

    I never really watched the x-files

    I think I saw this one episode when I was a kid about someone possessed by demons and it scared me too much

    The impression I had gotten is that they were fairly high-profile and high-falutin' but you saying that has piqued my interest in the older episodes
