Deal the crack, kiddies.

So I'm working on my holiday wish list on Amazon, and I saw Supernatural S1. And y'know, I've heard a lot of good things about the show (and the actors!) but I don't know if I would actually like it. I like shows with lots and lots of character development, and when the plot is things happening to the characters rather than the plot being something that would happen anyway and the characters just happen to be there (which is why I love QaF and PoT and why I stopped watching Lost early season 2. It became so much about these random things happening and the characters reacting to them instead of about the characters themselves, if that makes sense.) I also don't like lots of violence and horror--although I can watch it if it's not excessive or gratuitous, if that's the only thing going for a show or movie I won't be interested. I am also unsure but open minded regarding those other inital shows. Um. BSG? and SG something? Hahaha, I don't even know what they stand for, I just know they are space cowboys sorts of things, right? What do you all think?

And, for the record? When I say I've watched Prince of Tennis and Queer As Folk and Lost? I mean that's all I've watched, ever. And a few episodes of Gilmore Girls and that's it. So any show you want to recommend would be acceptable. :)

When I was first watching SPN, the first seven episodes were really kind of meh, in that I enjoyed watching the show, and the guys were ridiculously hot, but there just...wasn't really a spark for me.

BUT THEN. OMFG. After the eighth or ninth episode, apropos of NOTHING, I just. I can't even describe it. SPN STOLE MY SOUL. This SWITCH flipped inside my brain and THERE WAS NO LOOKING BACK! Sam and Dean's epic love for each other will pwn you in the end, no question. The show just gets better and better as the season progresses, and now? In Season 2? I CANNOT DESCRIBE TO YOU THE TOTAL AMAZINGNESS AND HUGE GAY BROTHERLOVE.

...and that is my considerably-more-that-two cents. :D!

How scary/gory is it? I'm pretty much a big wimp, hahhaha.

And, I saw you rec'd House--it's a medical show, I know, but is that the focus of the show? Are there lots of bloody operations and needles and blood and and and blood? :(((

[balefully.livejournal.com]

I don't find it even remotely scary. Like, at ALL. Which is part of the reason I was meh about it at first, maybe? I was expecting it to be scary and it totally wasn't. But I don't get scared by anything, really, even crazy-scary horror movies, so I am not that reliable. Sam is a big wimp, though, and it's only scared her like...twice, ever. And not really very much even then. More like startled. It's definitely not gory at all.

House on the other hand is yes-gory. You see people getting operated on and bones breaking sometimes and definitely blood and inside-the-body-cam when shit goes wrong.

SO HOUSE IS OUT OMG. :(((((

But SPN would probably be ok. Whoo!

[in-lieyw-of.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I forgot to mention the gory is very much a prominent feature in House. Damn. You should the DVD's with someone else, then, and have them skip to all the people-interaction parts, because those are LOVE.

[in-lieyw-of.livejournal.com]

Wow, um. Verbs are important, too. Like, you should watch someone else's DVD's with them. haha

[aidenfire]

Ahahaha, I didn't even notice. :)

[aidenfire]

Wouldn't that be a major pain in the ass, though? Because we'd have to skip all of it, gore makes me
