Does anybody else use Fitocracy? It seems rather helpful to me.

This game will ruin your life. It can also make you rich, poor, unemployed, famous or universally despised. Since The International 4 is coming up, and it's basically like a short season of a TV show, I'm curious if there are other people here who shall be watching.

Exactly. It was one of the main things that made Supernatural stand out among other WB/CW shows. And now they are using Supernatural to launch a show of the worst possible kind that Supernatural would probably be mocking a couple years ago in some crazy meta episode.

I'd posted my previous sceptical comment before actually watching the episode in question. I just did. It fucking sucked. I honestly wouldn't be so pissed if this would just be another shitty episode. But if this is a sign of where they are planning to go with handling shapeshifters on this show - then it's a complete disaster. The gory shapeshifting was one of the best things in Supernatural mythology ever. I mean, seriously - you are making a backdoor pilot about shapeshifter. Would it have killed you to watch a handful of episodes the parent TV show has about shapeshifters? How lazy and/or incompetent can a TV writer be and how come NOBODY on the cast/crew had pointed this out and fixed it before this garbage went on air? Supernatural = gore. I give this episode an F and rest in hope that this spin-off is never picked up and the episode is not included in the season DVD boxset.

S4 > S2 > S1 > S5 > S3 > S9* > S7 > S6 > S8 It's pretty self-explanatory, I guess. I got to mention that the first 5 seasons are all really close. By no means did I think that season 3 was bad - it just didn't deliver as much as other seasons did, partly due to that writers strike. "Jus In Bello" was a terrific episode and there was plenty of good stuff along the way, but overall that season will probably be always remembered for its shortness and unnecessary experiments with the main cast (yeah, Ruby and Bela). While I did enjoy Katie Cassidy as Ruby, I found Bela's character to be a massive waste of screen time and Lauren Cohan's talent. Season 8 was a disaster. I thought it's started on a pretty high note with lots of action, gore, fighting monsters with Thor's hammer and whatnot, but it quickly lost its direction and just wandered drunkenly from one mediocre filler to another. Season 6 is basically the same but it does have a few truly outstanding episodes (Weekend at Bobby's, The French Mistake, The Man Who Knew Too Much) that I would recommend as must-see. Season 8 is perfectly skippable IMO - the previouslies before Season 9 more than make up for it and will save you a lot of time. * So far season 9 is my favorite post-S5 season of Supernatural. It's a pretty good sign, but we have to see how the season arc is resolved.

I would probably be excited about this spin-off had it not been so heavily focused on romantic relationships. I know it's the CW, but Supernatural and Arrow manage to avoid being too soapy just fine. Forbidden love between two members of rival families? Now that's something we haven't seen a million times before.

Those are dates when the episodes shall premiere in Russia. April 7th, April 14th etc. Due to the different time zones it will technically be the 7th on April in Russia when season 4 premieres in the US, so they obviously aren't allowed to make the content available until then.

Surely you meant "Family, Duty, Hodor".

It looks like a Russian VOD service (!) has accidentally leaked ALL episode titles for Season 4. Have fun.

It is ridiculous how this show is more entertaining in its ninth season than so many shows are in their first. It needs more Abaddon though.
