I quickly became addicted to Legend of the Seeker. The setting in New Zeeland is fantastic! The costumes are really great and the storyline is well done. I think Craig Horner (Richard) has improved , in the beginning he was a little shaky, but has really come alive. I love Bridget Regan (Kahlan), she’s doing a wonderful job and she really loves playing the part. In her interviews she comes across as such a warm, bubbly person, and, it goes without saying, she’s a real looker, (in the 1 to 10 scale, she’s a solid 10) Bruce Spence (Zedd) is also great as the wizzard. I’m really happy it will be returning for a second season.

Put me into the “loving it” column on the addition of the angels. Very refreshing additions. I, too, prefer the mytharc episodes but usually find something to love about the standalones as well. As for Sam and Dean, their relationship is strained right now for a reason. They still care about one another very much. There’s just too much strain and pressure right now for them to do the sharing and caring thing 24/7. It’s a logical development. They’ll get back to where they were eventually, but they have to go through what they’re going to go through to get there. The payoff will be enormously satisfying when it comes. I loved season one, but I’d have been bored to death of standalones by now if they hadn’t mixed it up. Good for Kripke for sticking to his five year story plan.

I’m with Katie, in that I like the addition of the angels and their insertion into the Supernatural world. And while I miss the closeness of Dean and Sam this year, Kripke already told us he brothers weren’t going to be close this year, that what they’d gone through when they were apart was going to put a wedge into their relationship. So I was expecting it. We’ve seen Sam and Dean grow really close from S1 through S3. Now its time to pull them apart a little, and watch them knit their bond back together. I’m totally on board with the direction the writers are taking, and am enjoying the angel scenes – they haven’t been too lengthy and haven’t interrupted the brother scenes at all.

On the Sam note: I’m glad he didn’t collapse at the end of his battle with Samhaim: it would have been too much, too melodramatic. The very visible pain and the nose bleed were just enough.

I have to agree with Katie, I was extremely worried when I heard there would be angels on the show, but I find myself enjoying it very much.

But I do miss the brothers bonding, I don’t think there was too much angels in this episode at all.

And I also agree that the mytharc episodes have been much more exciting then the standalones, which is funny because I hate quite a few mytharc episodes from the past three seasons.

After being a die-hard Supernatural fan I can honestly say I think the angels bring something great and refreshing to the show. Saving people, hunting things only works for so long, and considering this show is ending after the next season, I am happy to see them progress the story.

And IMO the standalone episodes this season haven’t been as captivating as the Mytharc episodes.

Thanks for posting your review of Supernatural’s Halloween episode. I agree with everything you had to say, good and bad, but especially in wanting more of the brothers together, saving people, and hunting things.

I too was hoping for a “collapse” at the end of the exorcism scene, and was really disappointed that they immediately split the boys up for their talk to the angels instead of talking to each other. I know, I know, it seems to be the theme of the season but I don’t have to like it.
Considering that the strength of the series is the chemistry between the boys, it doesn’t seem like it would make sense to carry this division on too long.

Most of all, I miss the brothers showing that they care about one another.
