HAPPY STONEHENGE APOCALYPSE DAY! \o/ Though I have to admit, as much as I think Misha Collins is cool, I'll not be watching just for him. I'm gonna watch because goddang, I love stupid, cheesy supernatural and paranormal stuff so much. 8D I was the kid that went to the library and read every damned book on ghosts, Stonehenge, the Bermuda triangle aliens/UFOs, ESP, 'ancient astronauts', etc etc they had. The few times we moved or I started a new school, one of the first things I did was find what sort of books on this stuff the new library had. I even had a special class because of being gifted I was in when in sixth grade, on the supernatural, and I thought that shit was the coolest ever. And I did a report on the Bermuda triangle, complete with a construction paper mock-up. :p I read the hell out of Erich von Däniken when I was younger, though it was only last weekend before I realized I've been mispronouncing his name for 25 years (saying Danken instead of Daniken).

You know, I think that's one of the things that sucked most about growing up, losing that sense of 'could be', and giving it up instead for being realism and 'not possible'. There was always a sort of excitement or hopefulness to that feeling that someday we might finally discover this or that was really possible. Ah, Time-Life series on the Mysteries of the Unknown, if only we could still be together~

Anyway. Love the paranormal/supernatural, love such being used for cheesy-bad scifi movies. Woohoo \o/

Yeah, I mostly ignore Syfy or whatever it is, and ohman, how I *haaaaaate* that name. ^^; I generally can't stand any of their shows/movies. This one I just had to watch though, and hell yeah, I wanted some cheese and some godawful bad movie and it so delivered that. XD;; Man, it was terrible! I'm probably going to buy the DVD whenever it's out. :|

I so agree with you though--loving cheesybad movies aside, I do miss when there actually were *good* scifi movies. It's like people forgot how to make such a thing.
