Welcome to Gaia! ::

i mean the show.
descuss, do you think its misleading? or does it have enough real facts to take advice from it.
ive met people who think they know everything cause they watched the show.
very annoying.
so, talk about it

I agree with Dazzler. The writers do get quite alot of the base supernatural entities correct, but even on the commentary they say they condense multiple occurances and different stype of entities together. The lady in white from the first epp. for example, they combined the phantom hitch hiker and the lady in white, and made the er "hollywood-ized" she kills everyone unfaithful or not addendum. Not so true with phantom hitchikers, nor many of the lady in white recorded accounts. Other than that kinda stuff, they site some pretty obscure and miniscule little details every now and again when they have Sam and Dean do their research faze. Very well researched, but an entertainment medium more so than anything else. 3nodding

[Edit] Also. On the topic of Supernatural. The Hellhoundslair website, from the episode with the amature ghost hunters, is an actual website. Pretty decent collection of accounts of urban legends and otherwise supernatural stuff there. ._. [/Edit]

heh, ill have to check it out sometime

From my understanding of the show-- the three or four episodes I've subjected myself to-- it is not reliably accurate. Sure, occasionally they pinpoint one thing and may subtly throw in a fact that they don't brazenly advertise (therefore you have to know what you're looking for in order to recognise it), but I would certainly not call the T.V. show "reliable".

But you should double-check the facts they provide.

I can honestly say that I have never seen the show, myself. However, as a general rule of thumb, I'd take movies and T.V. shows with a grain of salt. If something doesn't click and you know a lot about the subject, it was probably fabricated by the writers for entertainment's sake. cool

I am very much obsessed with this show, however I didn't start out like that I felt that I needed to see if any of the info is correct, and the cool thing is that a lot of what they tell you on the show does match up to the facts. Of course it is still a show, and I'm sure that there is stuff that isn't quiet correct, it is a show after all.

Also the show makes a point to still stuff from other shows, hence the multiple time that Dean(the one lead character) brings up the fact that Sammy(the other lead character) is alot like Hayley Joel or Jennifer Love. He often times says stuff like 'Sammy always get's a little J. Love Hewitt with stuff like this.' It's just how the show is, it's supposed to be like it's not a tv show, and that they actually watch these tv shows on tv in their free time.
