So we get BTVS S6 with 100% more plot and in a two for one 100% less self-pitying whining crossed with a shed load of Ghost Rider of the Garth Ennis variety and a side order of that is not my beautiful Ruby though it is The Car even though its been podded.

I don't know if it was the copy I got but a few more fifty pence pieces in the meter would have helped as it was hard to see what was going on most of the time, but the bringing Dean back with through actual plot was good. Not Ruby can always be replaced with one with good delivery and more 'tude. Dean was hot and his reunions with Bobby, Sam and his car were precious. I could really have done without woman who owns her sexuality being blinded after coming on to the boys, even if it was done to show Castiel blinding people on the boys side as well as the demons, as the show has hit rather too many bad gender tropes in recent seasons to pile up more at this point. I'm also unsure about this God business as I'm not sure how far a US network can or would go in following the Garth Ennis type Ghost Rider storytelling to the one side is as bad as the other necessary to walk the walk rather than borrow the images. I hope they do - just as I hope the race and gender issues the show's had get sorted - as that is a story that I always find interesting.

But in the meantime, an intriguing start.

Now, to Smallville or not to Smallville, that is the question.
