We are not allowed to download - Comcast is watching us. But I would rec you do get the whole episode, just so you can watch more of Craig being awesome!
My sis and I were just talking the other day about shows that had fantastic pilots out the gate - SPN, Walking Dead, Glee, Deadwood, The West Wing, Firefly (huh, there were like 8 on the list but I can't remember the others).
I was actually pulled into watching Once Upon A Time the old fashioned way - I saw a trailer. But OH, OH - American Horror Story - fuck Terra Nova, if I had to pick one new show it would be that. I forgot about it because I don't even count it as a new show - I feel like I have been watching it forever. IT IS SO GOOD. You would love it. It is dark and twisted and scary and fucked up, but so, so good. SO GOOD.
I thought about what new shows I have tried out - not counting Wilfred, which was technically a summer show, though omg so cracky and good. And Storage Wars and The Sing Off, which are old shows that I just started watching...It looks like I actually have NINE new shows I tried out and only one I quit (though after only one episode of Hell on Wheels, I doubt I will still be watching by episode three - it gets one more episode to woo me).
My List -
Terra Nova - took a couple of episodes to hit its stride but managed it around episode four. Won't be a "fandom" show but I enjoy the premise and the characters consistently.
American Horror Story - I AM IN LOVE. The house and the ghosts in it are my favorite characters on the show.
Once Upon A Time - good, but not great. Would be better if they dropped the fairy tale flashbacks and just focused on the present day - we know what characters everyone is, I want fairy tale soap operas playing out in present day (Fairy Tales/Desperate Housewives!)
Hell on Wheels - not expecting it to be Deadwood like everyone else because that isn't fair, but the main guy is too self-righteous for my tastes. He is a gunslinger bent on revenge, he shouldn't be such a white knight this early on.
Death Valley - Oh, I will NEVER quit this show. It's like COPS but instead of arresting white trash peeps, they arrest vampires and werewolves and kill zombies. Like a special task force to deal with the recent outbreak of supernatural in The Valley. My new TV boyfriend, Officer Billy, is my favorite new shiny toy.
Grimm - it is fine, but it feels very SPN-lite and the lead guy does not hold my interest at all. Still, only two episdoes in so I am giving the actor a chance to get his feet. Will probably keep watching it since my sister seems to be really into it and the TV is in the same room as the couch. (wow, that was not a big sell - only on the second episode though so don't listen to me).
The Secret Circle - would never have watched this (I don't care about witches the way I do vampires) but The BFF read the books as a kid and wanted to watch it. I am enjoying it - this does not mean that you will. I like teen soaps. This one has witches. Though, the storytelling is done much better than shows like One Tree Hill and 90210, so even though it is a teen drama, it moves along at a great pace.
Subugatory - sitcom starring Alan Tudyk (hells yes!) and Jeremy Sisto (yum) and Rex Lee (awww). It's a sitcom. It has a dark sense of humor but it's a sitcom. Currently the only sitcom I watch, I am not sitcom watcher, so I guess that is a boost for it that I am still watching it.
How To Be A Gentlemen - the show I quit after one episode. Sitcom starring Kevin Dillon and Murray from Flight of the Conchords (Rhys something). So, so, so, so, so bad. My heart hurt so much for Kevin.
I was sure you and SPN were about to break up. Season Seven is nowhere near the level of past seasons, but I think it is better than Season Six, so there is that.
