A letter to the makers of Supernatural

(Dean and Sam doing a Mulder and Scully)


I watched the latest episode Night Shifter yesterday and I have got to say that, in American speak, it was totally awesome. Now, because I am not the most eloquent of writers and because my brain is half-man, I shall put my points across in a list.

What I like about Supernatural so far:

1. The two brothers. Yum mee, keep those two brothers coming. Especially Dean.

2. The fact that Sam and Dean constantly take the mickey out of each other.

3. Dean's one liners. "I don't do shorts, sweetheart."

4. Dean, because he is so hot.


5. The fight scenes where they use everything they've got: guns, crossbows, knives, bare knuckles, head butts.

6. The things they hunt: demons, murderous ghosts, vengeful spirits, vampires, satanic preachers, backswood crazies, telekinetic murderers.

7. The beautiful, haunting cinematography.

8. For making classic rock cool again.

9. Sam's 'guilty conscience for surfing internet porn'.

10. A cool, ass-kicking Dad.

11. Dean, because he is so hot.

12. The self-contained episodes coupled with a major story arc running through the series. Leaves you satisfied for one night but keeps you coming back for more.

13. Sam - even though he's not as hot as Dean, he's still nothing to sniff at.

14. Dean's ability to fix his car from scratch. I like a man who is good with his hands.


What I would not like to see:

1. Love interests. That would just be wrong. Where are they to be? In the back seat? No, this is a series based on two brothers hitting the road, fighting demons. You can’t have girlfriends tagging along. Beside, I would be hurling abuse at them every time the girlfriend/s came on screen.

2. Poor Dean being tortured again. My heart just can’t bear it.

3. Dean continuing with the marshmallow look. What is going on with that? He looks puffy and tired lately. Maybe he is tired in real life working 15 hours a day. Poor lamb.


What I'd like to see next:

1. More episodes like Night Shifter because the risk factor is upped whenever the larger world and the authorities are brought in to play, i.e. The Usual Suspects, Skin.

2. The boys to wear fewer clothes. Why are they always in bulky jackets, long shirts and several layers of them, I might add? I know it's cold in Vancouver but why do they have their jackets on indoors too? Shoot in L.A. if it means that they get a bit of warmth and get to walk around in just fitting t-shirts.

3. Sam with a decent haircut.

4. Sam and Dean’s dad, John, to come back for few more episodes.

5. Jo, played by Alona Tal, to kick some ass with the boys. I don’t know why lots of Supernatural fans don’t like her, but I think she’s cool.

6. The secret to Sam’s power to be shown before the end of Season 2. Is he or is he not demon spawn?

7. Has Dean got some special powers, besides his innate hotness?

8. More demon hunters. We know there are more out there and I’d love to see them join forces for a big season finale.

9. The FBI closing in on Sam and Dean. How are they to explain that they are not murderous, paramilitary whack jobs?

10. Bring on the Yellow-Eyed Demon!

11. Ellen doing more besides looking worried and fielding telephone calls from Sam and Dean.

12. The boys giving each other a proper hug instead of the half-assed, we’re-not-gay hugs they always do.

13. For Dean to have a home, and for Sam to go to school. Sob! It’s what John wanted for them before he died.
