My first day - Page 2

Thanks Calena. I'll have to check it out.

The Night Stalker was about a newspaper reporter called Kolchak, who investigated mysterious crimes and events that always seemed to have a supernatural theme to them. ABC put out a remake of the show in 2005 but it was canceled early on. I guess it's hard to improve or even duplicate perfection. I grew up watching the original series in the 1970s starring Darren McGavin. I can remember sitting on the edge of my seat throughout the whole show, it was so spooky and scary. The story is that Chris Carter, creator or The X-Files use to also watch The Night Stalker in the 70s and it's what actually inspired The X-Files. In fact he had Darren McGavin appear on a couple of episodes as an old agent that came before Mulder.. sort of Mulder's predecessor/personal idol in the x-file field of investigations.

I see. Wouldn't you know it, Eric Kripke, the guy who created SPN, originally pitched the idea of a reporter investigating supernatural events to the network. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

In fact everyone I ever suggested watching SPN to (or rather nagged them to watch it to the point of being a severe pain in the a**, just ask candyrose and smiley

) got hooked on it. Either right away or like myself around eps11/12. Yes, it took me that long to see how brilliant it is! And it was ep 11 that confirmed for me that I'm a total Dean girl.

I watched the first half of the pilot of it at the link you gave me but I couldn't find the second half. I think I could easily be hooked to it. Seems like my kind of show.

It's a great show....I can't complain about it.... I watched the whole first two seasons back to back in the space of about a week and a half..... I slept, ate, and even breathed the show for the entire time!!!

BTW.... Calena may be a Dean's Girl... but Smiley sits on the fence.... I can't possibly choose between these two.... although, for now.... I have a neat little Naked Torso-ed Sam on my av!..... Naked torso-ed Dean is my screen saver!!!!

I do have another screen saver that has Sam's rear end swaggering from side to side repetitively.... that's always nice to study....

Must post that one some where on here.... maybe even over in the Gutter Thread.... although, to be fair, you probably wouldn't have us to speak to again then unless you went over there to chat!!!

Back to SPN show.... Yes, absolutely yes..... the wide variety of stories and legends etc... are by far the very very best thing in SPN.... The eps only get better, IMO.... there really isn't a bad one amongst them! My favourite one is 'The Benders'.... Wait and you see the hot Bender hotties on that one.... I swear you'll collapse with all the drooling you are going to do!!!!

Jared Bender is especially hot.... OMG.... * Smiley swoons*!!!!

Topanga · 06-07-2008, 02:28 PM

LOL!! Well that post makes the show really hard to ignore!!

smileyone · 06-07-2008, 04:36 PM

^^^ And if you are very good on here... Smiley might even share the Bender family with you..... Oh Lordy.... Better drink loads before you watch that one as you are bound to drool buckets..... Some even say the Bender boys are better looking then the Winchester boys.... I think it's very much touch and go.....

Could go either way that one......

This should be part 2 of the pilot:

That's so totally fair of you, smiley!

The Benders was an hilarious ep, but there many eps that are just as good or even better. Just as smiley can't decide on her fave Winchester brother I for the life of me can't decide on what my fave ep is, I'd be hard pressed to narrow it down to my fave 10 eps.

Topanga · 06-08-2008, 06:46 AM

I'm officially a dork!!! I didn't even think to click on that very obvious #2 over there. D'OH!!

thanks Calena!!

Calena · 06-08-2008, 06:52 AM

Don't worry, you have no idea what smiley put me through with technology-related stuff!
(you now I love you smiley!

)

Topanga · 06-08-2008, 07:09 AM
