Yes, I’ve mentioned Supernatural before, but it deserves another mention because it is made of all things awesome. Add to that a couple of hot guys, and BAM! IT’S A HIT. With me, at least. Like Big Bang Theory, it also has its fair share of references to popular culture. Win!

I’ve always been a fan of the supernatural, even though it scares me crazy. I have Supernatural-themed nightmares. Like the other night, I dreamed that Tor was sort of Dean Winchester, and there was a creepy reflection in the mirror and then THE OWLS SENT US DEATH THREATS.

Yeah… Minor derailment there, sorry. It’s true though, I did dream that. The Dean part wasn’t so nightmare-ish. DISCLAIMER: I love my husband and don’t really want him to be Dean.

The first SPN episode I watched was Bloody Mary, one of the season 1 episodes. It was on TV here, and I figured why not, and then I didn’t sleep much the following night. Then I kept forgetting to watch it because it was on at stupid o’clock. But then Bre came to visit and she brought her season 1 DVDs, and we spent much of our time bonding over demons and Winchesters. It was awesome. Who needs a bachelorette party when there’s Supernatural?

Apparently Jared and Jensen aren’t on Twitter. Apparently Sam and Dean are, though. How could Sam NOT be on Twitter? I’m just sayin’. The boy’s a geek. He could almost do a guest part on Big Bang Theory (although I’m really no fan of crossovers. Too much strangeness and awkward and oh hi I’m Harry Potter and I just walked through a portal to Middle Earth. Better not.).

In the words of GIR: I love this show.

And what’s not to love? It has geeky boys (who are kinda cute too), video games, geeky humour and tons of references to popular culture. And that last one, that’s one of the things I love the most. Popcultrefs. Yes, that’s a word. Yes, I might have made it up right now. Also, I googled it right now and the top hit was the Wikipedia entry on popular culture.

I stumbled across BBT on Norwegian TV one day, and immediately recognised it as an awesome show that had to be watched. So I ordered the first season on DVD, and watched. And laughed. Now let me explain something about me and laughing: The later years it hasn’t happened too often. It’s not that I’m not generally having a good time, I just don’t laugh like I used to. BBT makes me laugh like I used to.

And I love it for that.

I may also have a small fictional character crush on Leonard.

If you’re already familiar with the show, then you might also want to follow the guys on Twitter! You can find Sheldon, Raj, Leonard and Howard there, as well as Kunal Nayyar who plays Raj. Fun times!
