should i watch stonehenge apocalpyse for misha?

Specifically to see him? Sure! He's great in it, and very pretty.

The storyline is Silly McSillypants (as these sci-fi disaster flix are designed to be) but the cast is uniformly awesome (Tori Higginson, Peter Wingfield, Brent Stait, Hill Harper, Michael Kopsa et al) and the pacing chugs along fast enough that the plot silliness can fly.

Make popcorn. Suspend disbelief. Enjoy!

what episodes of SPN didn't you like so much?

I don't remember having strong objections to any of them. I may develop some on rewatching! I'm not a great or patient audience when my mood is low, and I remember struggling to get to the end of... which is the one where we learn that Garth's become a werewolf and his mother-in-law turns out to be a homicidal nutjob hoping for Ragnarok? Sharp Teeth? And the (backdoor pilot???) one later that season, Bloodlines?

I didn't love the Abaddon storyline (much as I adore Alaina Huffman), or the British Men of Letters arc. Didn't love the Asmodeus storyline until Gabriel showed up and smote him. The past-time-travel storylines didn't do a lot for me.

I didn't actively dislike any of the above - more like I had no emotional response to them at all as I took them on board. On the whole, Supernatural got me good in some way with the majority of episodes. Even if it was just a moment of great acting or an aspect of the production that impressed me, there was usually enough of a reward to make me glad I watched.

I had a great time boxsetting this show! I think it's a mistake to approach any (network especially) TV show with the expectation that every episode will cater to my specific tastes, you know? That's no basis for fair critique, and it guarantees disappointment and frustration as a viewer. So much of Supernatural turned out to really hit the spot for me, against all the odds, that I was (and am) amazed and enchanted by the whole thing.
