I think the thing that bugs me the most about the Roadhouse is that they tried too hard to retrofit a backstory that would make sense in the here and now, and it didn't fit what we knew already, whereas Bobby fit right in. They didn't give him an elaborate backstory or whiny relatives with whom he doesn't get along or a Screech living in his back room. *g*
Exactly. I think where they went completely wrong, especially with Jo as the steamy love interest idea was to make her a Dean clone or rather a pale imitation of it. So she had the whole sob story with her dead Daddy and growing up among hunters. Well, boohoo. Compared to the Winchesters that`s practically a luxury life. Unless you grew up in a war zone, you won`t win a "woe is me" "woe is me-er" contest against them.
Bobby was just there, friend of John - with a falling out :) - and voila, no backstory necessary. Heck we got backstory on Pastor Jim and even Caleb got mentioned yet those two were killed after 5 minutes. And then we get Ellen and the huge hunter network that the boys never heard about retconned in.
I realized it really was all about Dean--torturing Dean. At least for me, that's what it was about. *g* Dean angst. *g*
Meg seemed to think so at least. I guess she has made up her mind on the question of who killed the MegDemon, latining Sam or order-giving Dean or both. Poor Sam, everybody views him just as the Bonnie to Dean`s Clyde. *g*
:-) I think it looks awesome. I hope it's good, though I'm not entirely sure I'll like all that I read in the sides.
I looks really out there and crazy but in a good way. Hopefully the ratings will at least hold steady since fucking Grey`s Anatomy ended on a cliffhanger and is supposed to build even more this week. Stupid soap.
