The news coming out about Supernatural this week was like a record scratching during my internet surfing. WHO. WHAT. WHERE. WHEN. WHY? I typically get a bit squirrely when it comes to spin-offs. Typically, the reaction goes a bit something like this:
Spinoff is announced
Not knowing which favorite supporting characters will take a grand exit
Confirmation that my favorite supporting character is leaving the show
Friends do not understand my distress
Previews show promise
After the first episode
Show Gets Cancelled after 6 episodes
While I do worry that a spin-off series can take the focus off the main series, I don’t really mind it if it means more Jared and Jensen.
Supposedly the Supernatural Spin-off will be an ensemble show. I will go stand on the corner with a sandwich board if somehow Felicia Day can be a permanent character. Please make it so, Nerd G-ds.
Do you typically like spin-off shows? What are some of your favorites through the years?
