SPN Flisters! Need your help!

[moonshayde]

SPN Fans! This is a call to arms!

Well, not really. But I need your help.

aurora_novarum has recently tried out SPN after swearing she wouldn't. She's been watching S4 and she's having a hard time getting into it. She doesn't get the hype. She doesn't understand the appeal.

Mind you, but she hasn't seen the rest of the series! *shakes her*

Your mission, if you chose to accept it, is to convert aurora_novarum.

I can't do this one alone. She's being stubborn.

But I mean, she missed so much of the build. She's in the middle of the action, but none of the build. She missed the hearty John stuff. She missed a good chunk of Yellow Eyes. She missed Dean's prior heartbreaking stuff. She missed Sam's conflict. The entire ON THE RUN FROM THE LAW arc.

So, post links here. Persuasive essays. Tell her why she should keep trying. Post pictures. Vids. Whatever. I don't care. Whatever it takes to meet the objective.

I do ask that you try to keep spoilers to a mimimum. S4 is a HUGE spoiler in and of itself, so she's ruined some of the fun for herself, but in the event she finally sees the light *snicker* I don't want to spoil the series for her. Unless she is okay with spoilers. But I want to be on the safe side.

Don't scare her off!!

stargazercmc don't make me come after you next...

For the record, I did try a few times back in Season One and/or Two, and...the show grossed me out too much I couldn't take more than a couple minutes. I have low ick factor. Which includes eyes rolling back in skull.

Mind you, I may have just happened upon the grosser eps, but it happened all the time.

And I wouldn't have watched it in S4 except I forgot to turn my vcr off after taping Smallville a few times and the classic b&w horror movie intro spoof intrigued me. I'm casually continuing because...I like the angel dudes.

*waits to get stoned*

"Rory_Elizabeth", huh? Cool name! ;-)

That excuse is unacceptable. You watch Fringe. That show is way way grosser. ;)

You probably just hit the grosser eps.

I'm doing my best here. You. Are. Being. Difficult.

The emotional investment in the show is what I'm there for. Granted, I like ghosts and things that go bump in the night, but the family stuff is gold. Poor family.

And it's a gen gal's dream. Limited ship ;)

Waaaatch it.

For the record, I quit Fringe after the second ep and have only watched a couple nongrossy eps via Hulu (my new favorite website ever).

"The Mentalist" has my full love now Tuesday nights.

Besides, with Fringe, you could predict the gross stuff and just close your eyes at autopsy/medical scenes, like I do with NCIS. I just listen to the dialogue.

With SPN, it's more unpredictable when someone's going to vomit smoke or go buggy eyed or splatter pea soup everywhere or something. :-p Actually, I've since realized I've seen a lot of the same scene, because they love showing a previous with little girl being demon weird eye thing and whenever I saw that...click! Creepy kids are creepy!!!!

I'm doing my best here. You. Are. Being. Difficult.

:-D You love me anyway.

You can turn away with SPN too ;) I've done it a couple of times. You can usually see when something is coming. It's a horror show. They are predictible like that.

Honestly, it's no worse than the other shows on TV right now. I think SPN's grossest season was S3. So I make no excuses for some of the stuff in that season.

And for the record I quit this show in the past. Once I finally gave it a chance, I was hooked ;)

*stops now*

Really? I haven't noticed that so much. Season 1 was the most "horror" oriented for me - the whole Monster of the Week was creepy and occasionally gross, especially the bug ep, but the gross is totally and completely outweighed by the relationship between the brothers and the mythos the show creates.

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

S1 had many of the old skool horror and urban legend themes, which I LOVE. I miss it, actually. But I found the gore level to be higher in S3. Even my bro was like huh.

But it's realy nothing compared to other shows I've watched.

And yes the relationship outweighs everything.

Gotta agree, as much as I have really really enjoyed the overall storyline this season I loved the MotW episodes from season 1.

You said it so beautifully.

But I didn't want you to feel bad about "selling" it. Honestly, normally I hate when people do it to me. I resisted SPN for like a year because people wouldn't leave me alone. Ironic and hypocrtical of me, I know.

I just couldn't help but share the love this time. And she's been watching, but in S4 which just...the impact isn't the same LOL

I just wanted to share something I love with others :)

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

There, I've done my duty, lol. I hate trying to "sell" a show; people have been bugging me to watch/read Battlestar Galactica or Twilight, and I just know what I like and what I don't. Well, there's grey area with BSG in that I'll watch it eventually when people stop blabbing about it, but Twilight simply ain't happening. ;)

Hee. No worries. I've watched BSG old/new. The latter is well acted and produced, but it's definitely not everyone's bag. And a lot of my flist has caught the SPN bug, so shayde isn't alone in her soft/hard sell conversion attempts.

I know she (and you) are just trying to share the love.
