Hm. Yeah, I pretty much agree with her opinion on S1. It took me about a month to watch it all. It had potential and Ackting was great even there but there wasn't the character. I fell for the show after about five episodes of S2 (I think it was a scene on the sidewalk in "Children shouldn't play..." that one in the middle... nevermind) and I was completely sold at "Croatoan" and Dean's confession that "maybe he doesn't want to (keep living without Sam)". S3 took something like six days to watch. ;)
Stiletto has a lot of good thoughts on the creators never being quite able to create strong female characters, but frankly, I'm not looking for strong female characters, so this didn't bother me as much. I wasn't looking for the reasoning behind demons' actions either -- I was very interested in what motivated the Cylons, but here, I didn't want to understand the evil guys. Well, maybe I do feel a lot of "sympathy for the devil (Lucifer)" now, but demons never seemed important enough for me. This is why I loved the mytharc of the fourth season and I love what's happening now.
But the core of the show for me is -- no surprise there -- Dean and Sam and their relationship. And perhaps this is why I dig Lucifer so much. I see angels as the brothers of humanity (children of the same father and if we're talking about Frodo etc -- have you or Stiletto read "Silmarilion"? I'd have a comparison with that). Then, there's Lucifer and Michael relationship -- two brothers again.
