Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

When I heard there was a spinoff there were so many things I could see working. I was way behind on the season but I knew it had aired and people hated it and it just kept thinking of possible spin offs I could see working for me but I could see fans hating.

Felicia Day? I know a lot of people would hate it but I'd give it a shot. Adventures in Oz? Ok, I have to.

The Men of Letters and Abbadon in the 50s? For sure.

Ghostfacers? How could I say no?

That one teenage girl hunter who's father died and she started hanging with other teenage hunters? I'm not in the demographic but I get your usual audience, CW.

Samuel Colt and Demon Knight Cain Omundson in the old west? Please, please, please.

Any random hunter introduced with a fun buddy or sexy girl or whatever? It could work.

Then I saw the worst episode of Supernatural ever that was genuinely painful to get through.

Tales from the Supernatural - an anthology show about hunters who are not named Winchester, featuring some old faces and a lot of new ones, thirteen episodes a season, spin-off possibilities a-plenty.

Yea they over thought the spin-off thing big-time. All they needed to do is focus on a few hunters that aren't Sam and Dean, and give them some sort of different relationship other than siblings to make sure the dynamic is different. Maybe a husband and wife or something. Its not that complicated.

Then how are they going to fit the model/actor quota for a new CW show? Making teen girls squeal is a vital statistic for them.

I wanted an angel-based series, actually. I mean, in the apocryphal and essentially non-religious sense Supernatural uses them, where God is dead and angels are mostly dicks.

It's not like they couldn't make them hot angel characters with abs to fit the CW brand guideline. And an angel hunting demons and super-monsters or what-have-you would be awesome as balls.




Though, they didn't overthink it. If anything, they underthought it. They decided, what if we just made another Vampire Diaries / Originals project with sexy vampires, but then also added sexy other kinds of creatures. And slapped Supernatural on the title. It's the CW's version of a Theory of Everything.

Eh, the only thing is the that there aren't really any threats to angels anymore.

Demons, if they know what they are doing, can catch one, but the leviathan are all gone and angels are still top tier "will smote the gently caress out of everything by touching it on the head" badasses. Even the nephilim are all gone, according to metatron, but even then it wasn't hard to kill one, just an angel blade poke.

As much as it pains me to say it, they need to move away from the apocalypse level badass guys and back down to regular hunters who have problems with things like zombies or wendigo or demons. Not everyone has a demon killing knife, so they'd actually be a threat again.

There are probably a bunch of new nephilim on the way what with all the angels trapped on earth for so long. :quagmire: Okay they aren't much of a threat as babies, but in 20 years there could be dozens of the buggers running around.

They had a few episodes this season where it was just a random ghost (and they were arguably the best of the season). Actually I guess one of them was some random Roman goddess but there were a few that were just "a family of Vampires! A family of werewolves!" etc.

And then there's Dean turning into a dog! :haw:

True, but a lot of the entertainment of the hunting stuff doesn't necessarily come from "Oh no this thing is a threat" but from following the guys as they solve a mystery.

I meant for the spinoff. Nah I'm perfectly cool with the whole mark of cain and god level baddies for the winchesters. They have a batcave.

It's the new guys that I don't think can really survive against LOVECRAFTIAN HORRORS FROM THE DEEP or whatever they pull outta their rear end.

I have no problem buying a random ghost or zombie or werewolf as a threat to Winchesters. Just because you're a bad rear end doesn't mean you can't slip in the shower. A monster is dangerous. Just because you've dealt with bigger, more dangerous doesn't change that fact.

But yeah, I would enjoy a spinoff with a B+ hunter who basically starts where the Winchesters were at the start of the series. And inevitably they'd get powered up and more bad rear end through the seasons just like Sam and Dean did. But now that Sam and Dean are dealing with world/universe shaking stuff on a weekly basis it would be cool to watch some good characters just messing with the regular stuff.

At least until they stumble across some demon/angel/god/leviathon conspiracy and need to crossover with the pros.

I think the problem with that is i'll just be retreading the same stuff as the early seasons and probably just end up feeling like a cheap knockoff.

If there was a spinoff with different hunters, it would be better to go back in time and have it start at the same time as the first season of Supernatural started. That way they could have the hunters focus mostly on low level monster based things but then ramp it up a bit when the apocalypse type stuff kicks in, but have the main cast dealing mostly with the fallout of that instead of being "the chosen ones". They could even take some of the guest characters from Supernatural and give them bigger roles in it to tie things together.

Maybe Garth would feature heavily in it or you could have whole plots around trying to find the colt (or finding and keeping it because i can't remember where it ended up).

Basically, for any main plot in supernatural that felt a little holey, you could use this series to patch/tighten it up.

It's also probably reference to the medieval idea of a leviathan being a demon or creature with a huge mouth who at sinners in Hell (rather than the Biblical sea monster thing).
