Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Throughout most of the episodes, both main characters and some minor characters speak Latin for summoning and banishing demons. Any student of Latin can tell you that Latin "v"s are pronounced like "w"s, but all of the actors pronounce their "v"s hard. (example: "Veritas" as opposed to "Weritas," the proper pronunciation.

Quotes:

Dean Winchester: I hope your apple pie is freakin' worth it!

not bad - looking forward to more

Just saw the preview on Yahoo of the first episode and it was better than I anticipated. There are a few new series this fall with the same idea (aliens/supernatural phenomena/mystery encountered by a pair of sleuths) so it's hard to say if this show will set itself apart. Remember that "E/R" and "Chicago Hope" were two hospital dramas that debuted on the same night, at the same time, on two different networks (if you said "what is Chicago Hope?" then my point is made.) Jared Padalecki, of "Gilmore Girls," is a familiar face who gets a chance to toughen up his image a little. The first episode sets up some mysteries to be solved over the season but also has some immediate gratification. No spoilers here ~ you'll have to watch it yourself. It's got a bit of an "X Files" feel to it ~ we'll see in future episodes whether they can keep the stories as interesting while giving the talented lead actors something meaty to work with.
