beccaelizabethJust watched Supernatural, the episode 'Bloody Mary', on ITV2
Despite the fact I appear to have downloaded the first two episodes some time ago, this is the first one I've seen. No idea where in the series it goes.
Turns out to be good.
Using the supernatural elements to explore emotional themes, this time guilt and the person in the mirror accusing you.
Exactly my kind of thing.
So many shows just bring on the scary for the sake of the scary, no depth to them. Or that thing I watched the other week where it was all about proving the supernatural exists. If it does, so what? Is people have to deal with it. So, story must be about people.
I also liked it that they weren't all expert plan right first time. Had to work at it. Makes it nicely tense. I mean I realise who the lead actors are, and that they're unlikely to be killed off, but it was still scary when they started bleeding.
cool :)
Will watch this again.
actually, if there was a DVD set out right now, I'd probably buy it. Because not only do I like it, but parts of my f-list have gone nuts about it too. So, good chance I'll like it.
mind you, parts of my f-list are all fannish about Stargate Atlantis, and I kind of stopped watching that. I mean I didn't up and storm out of the fandom or anything dramatic and decision involving, I just have downloaded eps and no inclination to watch them. *shrugs*
still, one new show this week, yaays!
