Talking About Stuff, with Mike and Christiana

Survivor: Guatemala Starts Tonight at 8! (Also, what to watch at 9!)

I don't have much to say now that I haven't already said, but let's put it out there.

What do all of you want to see happen tonight?


Also, if you need something to watch after Survivor, at 9, the WB is replaying the first episode of a new show that premiered on Tuesday. Supernatural. It's about a pair of brothers who are well-versed on ghosts and beasties of the night, since their father is a passionate, committed ghost hunter, searching for the think that killed his wife and their mother many years ago.

Now he's missing and the brothers must go on a road trip across the country trying to find him.

I watched the first episode and I was pretty darn impressed. It has a great cast, (talented and easy-on-the-eyes both!) and high-quality special effects, but most of all, it has some truly scary stuff. It's the best straight horror show I've seen in a long while.

It's not perfect. A lot of the "banter" is a little cliche and scripted in parts (though the cast manages to salvage much of it,) and there is a slight over-reliance on the sort of flickery-jump-cutty effect that was first popularized in The Ring. That said, let me reiterate that even the less original bits are presented with remarkable skill and there's plenty of original stuff as well.

I honestly have no idea what to expect tonight... so I'm not even going to make a prediction :-)

As far as Supernatural goes, I know you can get the episode online, which is interesting. I may have to try to catch it, although my Tuesday nights are already very full... tonight the Prez comes on at 9, so if I can stomach it I may try to see what he has to say.

I feel like such a grown-up when I do stuff like that.
