Thoughts On Watching "Supernatural" For The First Time Ever

I know what you're thinking: "Everyone who is going to watch Supernatural would have already watched it by now."  Right?  Wrong!  Look, it took me until 2012 to watch BBC's Sherlock and I only got caught up on the new Doctor Who earlier this year.  Of course, now I'm rewatching the Clara episodes in preparation for Twelve, but that's another story.  The point is, I do a lot of pinning on Pinterest and, being WhoLocked, I find a lot of Supernatural pins.  So, I finally decided it's time to watch Supernatural.  From the beginning, naturally.  Whenever I start a new series, I'm often tempted to write down my thoughts as the series progresses just to see which plot points I catch and which ones I completely forget about.  Since this is such a popular series, I figured there might a person or two who might be interested in a newbie's perspective.  And, since just about everyone out there who is going to be interested in this particular subject has already watched everything that has been aired, please keep in mind that I know a bit about the themes of the show, but please, don't give me any major spoilers.

That being said, if you (like me) are one of the few who have not seen Supernatural and you've wandered across this blog, be aware:

AHEAD THERE BE SPOILERS!

First, can we talk about the preview screen that Netflix chose to put up?

Does anyone else find it odd that the preview screen shows Jared, Misha, and Jensen, as it should, and yet Netflix chose to say the main actors are Jared, Jensen, and Mark Sheppard?  Does that mean Mark Sheppard is going to figure prominently?  (Somehow, I kind of doubt it.)

So, I am going into this series expecting two things:

1. Carry On (My Wayward Son)
2. Pie.  Lots of Pie

Let's see how my expectations pan out.

Season 1
