8) What one thing introduced in the Pilot do you wish we had more of these days, (i.e. rock-n-roll, bitch/jerk, urban legends, seeing them scam for cash, be it poker or pool)? And those are just suggestions to get you thinking; feel free to add more.

Elle - All of the above! Specifically, any of the brothers as con artist moments would be great to see. We get to see them doing the impersonation thing fairly regular, but I'd love to see them more deeply undercover or demonstrating the skills they lived on and learned from John: hustling and conning through the back roads - especially together. It's fun to watch and the few moments we've seen have been interrupted or too short. Can we get a White Collar inspired SPN episode or sequence? Please?!
Elle2 - It’s hard to pick, there’s so much in the Pilot I love. But, I’ll go for it anyway: I wish we saw more of the scamming for cash at poker or pool and such. I’m not sure why, perhaps it’s just because there’s something about the brothers hanging out in a bar, scamming some cash that I enjoy, likely because we don’t see it very often, but it is fun and it shows their teamwork. I’ve said more than once that I wish they’d find a stash of money in the Bunker, and then we could see them slowly transferring those older bills into younger bills at the various gas-n-sips and in poker games and such. Every now and then some of the nittier, grittier details of their lives is fun to play with – like laundry!
Metamorphic Rocks - Oh, it’s very hard to choose just one – I’d love to see more of all those things! If I had to pick, though, it would be more classic rock. It was a unique signature of the series early on, and it enhanced the show on so many levels (character, story, etc.).
Let me be clear, however, that when I say more classic rock, I don’t just mean five seconds of a song, but a full montage with the music at the center, something like “Renegade” in the Season Two episode “Nightshifter,” or “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” in Season One’s “Faith.” Those musical sequences gave us some of the best scenes (even now) that the show has ever created. I miss them.
Percysowner- I miss several of these, but I really wish they would go back to the urban legends. Sometimes I feel like I've overdosed on demons and angels, especially the angels. I would love some new urban legends. The issue may be that they don't have the money for the effects, just like they don't have the money for the rock-n-roll. But I would love some new supernatural creature to fight.

I love the escape from the police of half of the Hardy boys due to the quick thinking of the other half, and the later rescue of said other half by couple of devious (and illegal) phone-calls. Actually if they broke phones as often back then as they do now the show might have stopped right there.
The lighting and sets were great, the music was great, the atmosphere was great. The guest-stars were great - hey there's Duane Barry!
I like the pilot a bit (does it show?).
I very much enjoy these Crew Reviews. Good to see Percysowner included this time. Thanks Nate! BTW where are your thoughts?
The one scene that set things apart, at least for me, was the scene of the brothers researching the case, the way Sam pushed Dean out of the way to take over at the PC. It was a very brotherly thing to do, even for brothers in their 20's, and wasn't that important in the grand scheme of things. But you could see that the actors "clicked", and that attention to small details stood out, at least to me.
I've been busy and not much to say about the pilot other than "like it". ;) Doesn't mean I won't chime in in the future.
Haha! ALL of the above! Classic rock for a scene, as in "Renegade" and "Don't Fear the Reaper". The brotherly teasing, as when Dean is covered in smelly muck and Sam says
"You smell like a toilet!" LOL.
Would love to see them scamming for cash as it seems there is no need to do since they found the dragons' cache of gold. They could show them pawning off bits and pieces of it so we know
that is how they are surviving. It was a huge pile and gold is extremely valuable! Always longed to watch Dean hustling pool with some tough guys who would probably want to take his head off later. We did see Sam doing a great job hustle with the poker Witch! Loved that! ALMOST got one of Sammy hustling pool in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" but it was cut way too short when Ruby showed up.
And more urban legends please. Am really tired of dick angels in particular, none have been interesting since Zachariah (great actor). Metatron anybody? And some more disguises than just FBI. Used to be different in almost every episode.
Loved the pilot! Still love it every time! (The boys really WERE boys back then, weren't they? So damn cute!):o:p:p;); );)
