So, what's your rating for the mid-season premiere?

Yep, it's that time once again. I'll be doing a live recap here and on my site tomorrow night.

I hope everyone had a pleasant holiday, or a sane couple of months, however you want to look at it.
Gave the episode less than 0 because I sincerely don't care about the Wayward project, so it was another week off for me. I did wake up this morning to a friend's email with a youtube link to the Winchester cut (about 6 minutes). If anyone wants that, I can post it somewhere - here, I guess. And other than Dean's lizard shtick, it wasn't worth it - but, hey, at least I didn't have to dvr the episode and tax my FF finger.

It was decent enough for a backdoor pilot (most of the cast gel well), but there were some huge cliches and missed opportunities. And I thought the twist was stupid.

I'll give it a 2/10
I liked most of the Dean and Sam scenes, especially the campfire one.
I like seeing Donna, though I would have liked for her to have been on more, and liked some of Claire's scenes. Patience was bland and I couldn't have cared less about Kaia either. The rest were meh. The monsters were friggin' seriously lame. I can not fathom why Castiel was not even acknowledged. That "surprise!" at the end was unexceptional. And the opening was so unnecessarily long.

Six minutes of the Winchesters.Enjoy. I don't like that it was all too predictably dumbing down the guys to prop up Clairey Sue, the same way these producers always do every single time they want to pimp a guest-star. I didn't watch the "reveal", but even I could tell immediately that the 80-pound girl who was so easily kicking their asses - because apparently the guys are lame and useless now - was supposed to be an alt version of one of the Wayward chicks. Which one, didn't care. But the project isn't being created for me, and as I've said elsewhere, I don't care if it flies or tanks once it's having to stand on its own merit without the mothership name and original series stars attached to it. I'm not invested, I won't be watching anyway.
