I wouldn’t say sharply downhill. There are people who “ship” Dean and an angel who appears in a later season who aren’t happy with it after season 5-6, but I ignore them.
Sam’s acting gets better and better. He is very young in the first season. In later seasons he acquires a reputation for being good at showing you who is inhabiting his “meat suit.”

Noted. I’m watching season 1 now and enjoying it, although I admit it’s not receiving my fullest attention — I put it on when I’m cleaning.

Does it go sharply downhill after the five-season story arc wraps up? And does Dean from Gilmore Girls (confusingly not called Dean in Supernatural) develop the ability to act angry in ways other than clenching his jaw and wrinkling up his nose?

I’ve done my part! Supernatural is now the official show I watch while I’m doing cross-stitching or interior decorating brainstorms (replacing Lost, which I finished on Wednesday, finally). Now you should definitely read Lonely Werewolf Girl.

I’ve taken the advice of the hive mind: I started watching Supernatural last night. It’s very charming and silly so far — a good show to watch while I’m planning what pictures to hang on my many huge blank walls.

Sigh indeed. Wouldn’t you think somebody on that cover meeting would say, Hey, this is wrong? I know the cover designers haven’t got time to read every book, but you’d think the editor would say something in those meetings.

*quietly boosts TLWG a few places up the wishlist* It’s been on there way too long, it’s time. IT’S TIME. Because who WOULD’T want to read about feisty laudanum-addicted Scottish lady werewolves? NOT ME IS WHO.

Ahh the joy of the absurd little pleasures in life.

I like Scotland and werewolves and banality! I agree – both covers suck. I also heartily support the above commenter’s suggestion of watching Supernatural. It’s utterly ridiculous and completely addictive.

The blonde hair exchange makes me think of the covers of my favorite werewolf-related series, The Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. Mercy has one tattoo below her belly button, and this is stated in the first book, but almost all of the covers show her sporting tattoos also on her arms and also her lower back or basically wherever the cover artist’s artistic license is leading. Sigh.

We urged Ron to sample a few from season one and then a few more from season 2 because there’s a great five-season story arc, and most people think the 4th and 5th seasons are the best. Of course, I’m hooked now, so I’m continuing to watch season 9.
