Supernatural season 1 or....
...How I spent this week procrastinating. Yep, this is what I do when I'm considering uni work.
I find new (or not so new) and exciting things to watch or play. Is it bad that I'm replaying Final Fantasy X, again?
Mind you, in my defence this game is still brilliant, if slightly painful to play on newer TVs.
But mostly, I was watching Supernatural season 1....
So admittedly it was almost a week ago, but I watched this weeks Once Upon a Time with great curiosity. I've wondered when we'd get a bit more about Ruby/Red Riding Hood.
(If you haven't watched it yet and plan too, might want to stop reading now)
I gotta say, I wasn't disappointed with Ruby/Red's story. Though I rarely am with this show. The long running idea of Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf is well known, but the idea that they're one and the same. I like it. Especially the fact that the read cloak is actually there to stop her from becoming the wolf... It's an interesting way to twist the old fairytale. That said, Red has the most heartbreaking tale too.
What I find fascinating, overall, is the way they're twining the all the different fairy tales together is interesting. Red meeting Snow, who knows Cinderella etc. That fact that Rumple knows them all....
But aside from OUaT, I spent the week watching (or re-watching) the first season of Supernatural.
Which was enough to make me remember why I watched it in the first place. I can't say much about the later season obviously, since I never saw more than the first few episodes of season 2. But it's really enjoyable.
The stories are sometimes a bit predictable, but most of them are pretty well done. There's a great sense of humour running through the show which is great. I can see that there is an underlying story. There's what's happening with Sam, the demon that was responsible for the death of Sam and Dean's mother and definitely an underlying message about family. Which is good.
Actually I'd say all other things aside, family is probably the strongest part of the story. I think Dean and Sam are good characters and I'm hopeful they continue to grow and develop as characters because I think there's a lot of potential for that. It's an interesting dynamic between Sam and Dean and between them and their father. Sam may have the brains, but Dean is definitely intelligent. What I find most interesting about Dean is his devotion to his family. Despite the fact he feels they've left him behind or abandoned him, they're still the reason he keeps going.
Anyway, now I have to wait to get the next couple of seasons, but I definitely will...
