I don't know where else I would post this

It's sort of fandom-related, right?

I'm thinking of doing a total SPN rewatch, from the beginning of S1 to the end of S6. There are 80 days between now and the premiere of Season 7, so in theory, at two episodes per day, it's totally doable, even with one week of hiatus when I go to VanCon.

I am faced with two choices. I can either just do my rewatch by my lonesome and enjoy the pretty that is SPN in the company of my cats.

OR

I can, conversely, enjoy the pretty in the company of my cats and then turn around and inflict my opinions about the show on you, dear flist. Obviously it would be behind a cut and all that, but still, I'm not sure it's actually worth it. It wouldn't be the regular flaily-squee-incoherent mess of my episode reactions, since I have seen all the episodes before. I can't promise deep analysis, but I can at least promise full sentences.

What do you think, flist? You could always follow along on my rewatch and have fun in the comments, right?

Rewatch! Rewatch!

That would be awesome! I'll bet after not watching some episodes for many years, there would still be some squees left in you, too.

I would love to read your comments as you re-watch Supernatural! I'm sure you'll notice a few things you haven't before.

[identity profile] de-nugis.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm planning a rewatch myself. I'd read your complete sentences!

[identity profile] ayane42.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
I faithfully rewatch Supernatural on TNT. But I love when I find other's comments of the shows, different point of view and all that. So I would definitely love to see your comments :)

Can I join you? Either in person or over the phone? Especially if it's somewhat conducive to our schedules meshing... You're still flip-flopping, right?

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if we can do it always in real time (for instance, today I would be watching episodes one and two sometime during the day because I'm on night shift), but yeah, totally. :)

[identity profile] le-maistre-e.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll figure something out. I'll watch them tonight when I get home and try to catch up... :-)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't started yet. I'll probably start tomorrow, and the schedule will likely be sporadic at best. ;)

[identity profile] rainylemons.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'll watch with you! I had to delete most of season 6 off of the DVR to make room, but we'll manage. :D I'll mostly just read your posts and nod. :D

[identity profile] quickreaver.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
I've actually been thinking of rewatching the whole shebang from the beginning myself, since my memory is abysmal and the Gen Big Bang that I'm working on takes place mid-Season Three. So I'd love to hear your thoughts and re-thoughts! Could only help.

[identity profile] hells-half-acre.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
I do a rewatch every fall without consulting anyone - I just inflict my own complete sentences on the world without even considering who might read it.

So I say go for it! ;)

[identity profile] mollyamory.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Go for it!! Post! I wanna play! =D

[identity profile] harrigan.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Guh! I can't figure out how you can churn out the wordcount you do and do a re-watch! And best of all, offering to share your insights/squee? with all of us here! I guess it's a good thing you don't need any sleep... because I want to encourage you 100%!

[identity profile] tahirire.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Go for it! Also, I shall see you in Vancouver YAY!

[identity profile] hsifeng.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Bring. It.

Is it wrong that I want a rewatch schedule from you, so I can watch along when I can? *chuckle*

[identity profile] marchia43.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah - opinions are good. Rewatch the series!

I am totally there for a group rewatch!

[identity profile] hidden-easel.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm re watching the whole series (while my friend watches for the 1st time)

[identity profile] yasminke.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
I can't rewatch (I don't think ) but

GO FOR IT!

Hmm, that'd be interesting. I haven't rewatched the oldies for a long time now. I'd love to read your ramblings on them :D

Speaking of VanCon, have you decided which hotel you're staying at and how long you'll be in Van for? I'm moving that weekend (fml WHY THAT WEEKEND?!), but I still want to see you and all ye fangirls who are coming here for the con, so it'd be cool to make a meetup time.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[livejournal.com profile] elsewhere_kels and I are getting there the Monday before and staying at a hostel (you'd have to ask her the name) in order to check out the city a bit beforehand. I'm leaving the Monday after the Con, so that gives us a bit of wriggle room to see each other. :)

[identity profile] 4422shini.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay wriggle roo :D !! Okay, cool. We'll for sure get a chance to hang out in there somewhere!

I would LOVE to read that!
mainly because I just generally like reading opinions from witty people^^

also I did that recently and I don't think one appreciates how freaking adorable S1 Dean and Sam are...not as good as actors but you just want to bundle them up and take them home (and protect them from all the things to come)

adding to that that in S1 people with speaking roles sometimes survived! imagine that^^

I think it sounds like fun, sweetie! :)

I totally would be interested in reading those.

You know, sometimes, I rewatch some episodes and see there something, I didn't notice first time. And a lot of actions meanless before now have meaning.
So, I think it could be interesting quest;)

I would like the second option, preferably with an addition of the cats' reactions to the eps.

this is a good idea. Currently, I was thinking about that to pass the hiatus. We could share our thought ? (I am sure yours will be better, and I am hungry to read you). Bonus point if the cats participate.

[identity profile] jennytork.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I can' twait to share thoughts with you!

[identity profile] saberivojo.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh! What fun! Can I please join - pretty please.

*bounces*

I have no more school and am lost without homework. SPN homework=the best kind.

I'd love to read your full sentences after the rewatch.

In fact me and my friend rewatched the whole five seasons before the sixth started and we were really impressed because we realized from the *very* beginning everything was already planned! There are so many clues that I missed the first time and after the seasons made a lot of sense!

[identity profile] gottalovev.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd love to read your thoughts! and wow, you make me all nostalgic (I went to VanCon 2 years ago already...)

[identity profile] withdiamonds.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I vote yes for your complete sentences.

[identity profile] crazybeagle.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm actually rewatching them now too! My mother and sister are in the process of watching them so I'm sitting in. I'm really enjoying it, but the problem is that I'm starting to notice a few little inconsistencies and things I'd forgotten in a few of my fics-- like when certain monsters are first described, when certain characters are introduced-- and I'm having to go back and subtly change the stuff in my fics and hope nobody noticed. Sigh.
Have tons of fun, though. I totally am, and enjoying watching my mom hide her eyes because she's scared of whatever the episode's Big Bad happens to be. ;)

I'm doing my own rewatching. Just reached the end of season 1.
I say rewatch and share your thoughts.

[identity profile] primrose-1.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Of COURSE I will take a look at your commentary. I plan to rewatch the whole show as well, but at a much slower pace, I'm afraid. I'm currently watching season 4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with my 13 year old. When we've finished the series, we're moving on to Supernatural. I don't think I'm going to make it in time :)

Door number two! Door number two!

I'm up to date (for the UK anyway) having worked my way through the season 1-5 boxset you made me buy. Sadly, with a baby and a husband, it took longer than I'd have hoped (although I did manage eight episodes in one glorious day when the in-laws took The Boy and the hubby went out).

To further feed my addiction, I'm now re-watching them all from the beginning on the pretence of making hubby watch them (he loves White Collar and Hawaii 5-0 which I also introduced him to) so I'd love to follow along with your re-watch. I thereby offer my services if you need any help in the squeeing department!

If you need company, I ain't too far. :)

GAH!!!! YES!!!!!!

And I'll join you for S1 and S3 since I have the DVDs...
