Rhe writers were clearly trying force a spinoff with all-female characters that were just as good - no, BETTER - than Sam and Dean Winchester. But even in a universe dripping with the imaginary - vampires, werewolves, angels, demons and even the Devil himself - this concept felt artificial & implausible. Sam and Dean are jumped and instantly neutralized by 105-pound "evil Kai" but don't worry... Super-Claire to the rescue! The boys are lost for 2 days, but she finds them IMMEDIATELY because... she has to save Sam & Dean (just like she told Jody). /yawn Glad they passed on this dreck, and all the single review accounts raving about how great this is? You're not fooling anyone.
Nothing like seeing a blatantly politicized and inaccurate film presented in "documentary" form... the worst since Farenheit 9/11. I like the comments from CPB and PBS ombudsmen following an investigation into its airing on PBS, an allegedly non-partisan public channel: Using the words "slanted" and "no hint of balance," in the report, CPB Ombudsman Ken A. Bode concluded, "The producers apparently do not subscribe to the idea that an argument can be made more convincing by giving the other side a fair presentation." Bode wondered whether PBS had been used as "the launching pad for a very partisan effort to drive public policy and law." If so, the documentary violates PBS' mission statement to be non-partisan and "provide multiple viewpoints." PBS's own internal ombudsman offered a separate analysis, "I thought this particular program had almost no balance
turning it
into more of an advocacy, or point-of-view, presentation." Avoid.
