TV on DVD You Should Already Have #16
Sorry for the non-postage of late. I’ve been away for a family vacation in Virginia. You’re getting this blog straight from good ol’ VA. Couple of things I’ve gotta say:
1. I’ll be talking about slash reviewing Joss Whedon’s recent webical, “Doctor Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog.” Pretty much everyone, everywhere is talking about it, so I’ll be jumping on that bandwagon. Like all of Whedon’s best work, I just needed a few views to totally digest it and pick out all the great little details. Thursday sound like a good day to chat about Doc Hor?
2. New TVonDVD season is coming up soon!
3. And one of the best attractions for that season is buying the latest volume in the Supernatural series, the first of which I’ll be reviewing today. Let’s get to it!
SUPERNATURAL - SEASON ONE
“The acting ranges from good to all right, the stories range from ehh to great, and the visuals are nearly always perfect. With the departure of Angel, it’s great to have another team of supernatural investigators on the case. Dean and Sam are indeed a great team, and it doesn’t take long for the viewer to become attached to them. Some of the villains (Meg) are great, and some warrant WTF moments–(Tom in the last two episodes). Overall, it’s a highly enjoyable show.
The arc of The Demon as well as Meg was a treat, though I felt more time should have been spent on it. A few of the episodic oners could have been replaced with more arc-oriented episodes. Another thing I loved was John’s reluctance to let his sons join him in his battle against The Demon. When the three of them actually do team up, it’s short, sweet, and GOLD.
Best Episodes:
Pilot
Phantom Traveler
Bloody Mary
Home
Asylum
Nightmare
Shadow
Dead Man’s Blood
Salvation
Devil’s Trap
8/10″
VERDICT: No doubt. Buy it.
Next up, let’s see how the Winchester brothers fare in their second season. ‘Til then…
