Idea's for a spin-off?

On one of my Facebook groups are talking about a spin-off idea. I know this might have been done to death but since its the holidays, what idea's do you have and know of around the net?

My recent idea is one I called 'The Early years' where we see young Sam and Dean grow up and find out what really happened as we never got to see it. Well only briefly in flashbacks? Also we get to learn a bit more about John and what hunts he went on, and the hunters and monsters he came into contact with, remember John's Journal this could be explored much more. Also the people that he saved. As Dean got older we also saw him go on hunts with John, that would be interesting to watch to see his reactions and why he is now a hunter. Also I would love to see the motel rooms again and the road trips then three men shared.

Thoughts? ......

My thought is that there is no apostrophe in the plural of a noun.

Yeah, I know. Wrap your head in a towel before in explodes because your think-part hurts.

You have obviously responded to my thread with a technical comment which I do not understand. Can you expand please.

Idea’s reads as - Idea is. Ideas for a spin-off. He was just pointing out the error. Or being a smart ass about it. Hard to tell. In this day and age of text speak where auto correct causes posts to be made incorrectly - either by spelling or meaning... it seems silly to correct posters when their initial intent is obviously there. If you are anything like me unless it’s a horrible mistake I just let it go. I know how to spell. Choose. Chose. Your. You’re. Seriously tho with emojis and text speak taking over the written word I’m surprised people care anymore. The one thing you can call me out on is sentence structure. Not spelling. But don’t do it cause I’ll just blame it on auto correct. :).

My spelling isn't the best, even though I do have an underlining internet correction jobby. I can see my error now its pointed out. Still think its a bit petty but there you go. Thanks for the help AC!

No problem. The snarky comment from that poster was hardly called for. Spelling/grammar/noun know it all? Life is short, the need to reinforce the belief that you are superior over another like this? So not necessary.

I hope you are getting a chance to see all these short videos of Jensen doing his pre Bacchus thing.

Its not that so much that I don't post much these days, and I shouldn't say it here but confidence has been knocked in the past because I've been picked up. Love your comments you cheer me up ;)

Yes I am getting to see all the vids. Now I know what its all about and nice that he was chosen to start the parade and that being on his birthday was an extra bonus for him. I bet work gave him time off from filming? how long is the parade on for is it three days finish Sunday tomorrow? How do these parade leaders get chosen is it a team of people who vote or a public vote?

Not necessarily a spin off since it wouldn't include any introduced characters from the main show, but a companion series about a family who are inadvertently exposed to the Supernatural world when their teenage daughter goes missing. So, you have the parents, a young adult brother character to the missing girl and an uncle, so you have that family dynamic which I think SPN is at its best when they focus on family bond. And it would be interesting/tense to see a group of people completely unfamiliar with how to deal with Supernatural threats and have to research and learn as they go about finding their missing daughter.

I know it seems a bit derivative of the original series, two brothers looking for their missing father, only now it's the parents looking for a missing child and slowly unveiling some supernatural conspiracy.

It would have same tone as season 1/2, it would be a creepy, mystery series with drama.

I'd cast, Oliver Ackland as the father, Chris Wood, as the young adult brother, Tricia Helfer as the mother.

Ghostboy, I like your thoughts very much. Especially the first one. :)

I did notice that Oliver Acklands name is spelt similar to Ackles ha!

[–] ghostboy (652) 6 years ago

Yeah, when I was typing his name, it only hit me that Ackland was similar to Ackles. I promise that's not how he got the role, I do think he is a good actor haha.

[–] Bella-UK (1288) 6 years ago

To be honest, I don't know of him not sure what he's been in or looks like?

[–] ghostboy (652) 6 years ago

He's not a big actor or anything, I only know him from The Originals, I liked him a lot in it, I was surprised he hadn't gotten much work.
