Supernatural: Dead in the Water (2005)
Surprisingly Good
Wow! Finally a good episode. And when I say good, I mean an awesome episode. What a difference from "Wendigo". This time the monster of the week is really interesting and scary. The drowning in the sink and in the bathtub gave me the heebie-jeebies. And the ghost reminds me a bit of the dead boy from "The Grudge". But the best part is the ending and the sacrifice of the grandfather. I liked him redeeming himself, by giving his life for his grandson.

That's not what a Wendigo should look like
Nope! This episode is really bad. Was the last one decent, if a little boring at times, this episode is so much worse. It is full of clichés and a terrible looking monster. The Wendigodesign is mostly kept out of our sight in the beginning. Which in hindsight is a good choice. Because the moment we actually get to see him, I laughed out loud. I know that this is a TV-Series with a much lower budget than an actual movie, but the costume looked so cheap and unreal.
Supernatural: Pilot (2005)
A rather bland beginning
I finally started to watch Supernatural, after several of my friends recommended it to me. Usually I love everything Fantasy and Horror. I'm a big fan of Buffy and Angel. I also liked Charmed (even if it was kinda cheesy) and all the supernatural stuff on Lost. But somehow I was always reluctant to start this TV Show. The commercials made it look like a less funny Buffy Rip-Off. And now after watching the Pilot Episode I'm still on the fence with this show.
It's definitely not bad. The beginning with the burning mother on the ceiling was really suspenseful. Also the two protagonists Dean and Sam are likable and their preexisting knowledge of the supernatural is refreshingly new in this genre. Very often we get Pilot Episodes where the main character is clueless at the beginning. But now to the part I didn't like that much. Which is the whole plot with the Woman in White. I'm guessing that this show has a monster of the week formula (like Buffy or Charmed). And for the first monster to be introduced to us, I though this ghost woman was very bland and boring. Even the reveal that she killed her own children, didn't surprise me that much. So, as a whole the episode was pretty mediocre. A boring ghost, but also the promise of an interesting mystery of who killed the mother and Jessica.
