As I say this, please remember I've only seen up to Houses of the Holy so please don't spoil me for anything beyond there, 'k?
The thing about Supernatural that gets me - well, there were two things, actually, but the second thing has been dealt with over the past few episodes and added an entirely interesting layer of Peril! to the show, so I'm pleased with that - but the thing that gets me is that Sam and Dean really don't seem to have a conversation outside of what we see on the show.
Frequently the show will end with some kind of dramatic statement and... it's almost as though it's not questioned further. Dean will say something, Sam will look pensive, and then next week they're back in the metallicar and bopping to the hair metal. Now I understand that it is necessary to show exposition in order that the audience can catch up, but really sometimes it's bordering on the Pretty Durned Clunky and that pokes at me a little. 'cos when it comes down to it I really do love this show.
I dunno... there's hideously clunky exposition on Stargate: Atlantis, too, but there're also fragments of conversation and games and indications that these people have lives outside of what they do, and outside of the show, and sometimes I find that kind of hard to believe with the Winchester boys.
Possibly, though, this is something to do with the amount of fanfic I read in SG:A. Haven't got around to SPN, yet; somewhat wary of Wincest.
I use this icon entirely gratuitously, by the way, because I haven't yet found a Winchesters icon I liked, and because Brendan Dean is dorky love.
