Five for five, baby!

I am sneaking onto the internet at work, because it's night shift and no one is using the stand-alone computer. Muahahaa!

Ahem.

Anyway.

I have converted a fifth person to Supernatural. My colleague J. agreed to watch with me yesterday, and was an instant convert.

She jumped about a MILE during the pilot (the scene in which Sam just about runs over Constance Welch with the Impala), startled so badly that she actually spit out a mouthful of broccoli. It was beautiful.

Also? We're watching more now, and I just heard her say: "Oh, Dean!"

My work here is done. :D

Next week my conversion project is or the coworker I call Excitable!Puppy. I'm hoping for six for six.

It's pretty much a fact that someone saying "Oh Dean!" is a sign that they have become One Of Us.

Yup, the 'Oh Dean' is it really.. slippery slope from then on. Bravo for all your conversions!!

When someone says:"Ohhh Dean".....IT'S DONE!:D

"Oh, Dean", and it's done. There is no going back from "Oh, Dean. And how could any kind of puppy not love Sam?

Wow, I really do need to watch the whole thing over again from the beginning. My memory sucks so bad these days that I have no clue what you were talking about in the first ep. But the second I see the opening sequence, it'll all come flooding back, I'm sure.

snort, excitable!puppy.

Here's hoping she's an easy convert and not a surprise peer like my actual excitable puppy.

Well, I am totally happy to host Supernatural-watching parties. [livejournal.com profile] le_maistre_e has suggested a "best of" marathon once she's caught up on all the seasons. :)

(The scene I'm referring to is Sam driving along Centennial Highway, presumably on his way to pick up Dean. The ghost appears right in front of the car in a classic "boo-jump!" moment, making him hit the ceiling and the brakes at the same time.)

Excitable!Puppy is a guy, actually, but yes.

I call him that because he's really, REALLY hyper, and the first week he was there he got on my nerves like nobody's business, bouncing off the walls. At one point he said something stupid (I think he was overcompensating for being nervous), and I kind of rolled my eyes and said "You're a damned excitable puppy, aren't you?"

Hence the name. I call him "Sparky" IRL.

Yay!

You are the master! Amazing.
I could NOT get my long distance friend to watch. Maybe because I wasn't there to just sit her down and watch. I offered to send her the DVD's. But she said he had too many things to watch on Thursday and didn't want to add to her DVR viewing.
I bow to the expert!

Hmm, I haven't managed to convert any non-locals yet. My strategy consists of grabbing people and sitting them down in front of the TV.

The only non-local was a friend from Ottawa, but she came to stay over the weekend specifically for a SPN marathon, so.

I don't have good advice for people not in the immediate area. You are also braver than I for offering to part with your DVDs. ;)
