Honestly though, if that had actually been a backdoor pilot for Wayward Daughters that would have been the most fantastic hook ever.  Forget about your dumbass monster families in Chicago, this is what we want.  Characters who have been thrown together by circumstance and who now have to build a life and a family despite all odds.  People who have each been through their own personal hell, whose pasts frequently come back to haunt them not just figuratively but literally.

I want to see what happens next.  I want to see whether Alex finds herself thrown off course of the normal life she was building.  I want to see if she and Claire find something they can connect over, not just in life-or-death situations but in real life too.  I want to see how Jody handles two almost grown girls becoming a part of her family after she lost her real family so violently.  I want to see their relationships grow and change even while supernatural threats still lurk around them.

And really, the structure of it is perfect.  A new show about the three of them (four if you include Donna) would start out ready made with a foundation of conflict (that lovely driver of stories), and also that core of what make Supernatural so great: family.  You have three different characters with three different pasts to explore throughout the run of a show, all of whom are already beloved by the fanbase.  Claire’s story is clearly still moving forward as she tried to find her place in the world; Alex has a decision ahead of her, whether she can face the supernatural and what she’s done in order to stay with her new family; Jody has the struggle of raising two troubled girls, while being the sheriff, while also taking the occasional hunt.  There are so many plots that could come out of these characters, so much development and conflict and emotional connections between them.

Seriously CW, if you want to cash in on this giant fanbase, Wayward Daughters is the way to go.  We’re all waiting for it, we all support it.  Just give it to us already.

Also, they’ve accomplished the balance of humor and horror that their first attempted spinoff utterly failed at, that was always at the heart of Supernatural.

C’mon, guys.  We WANT.

Humor, horror, and sheer drama. Not only did the episode make me laugh, there’s only a handful of Supernatural episodes that have ever made me tear up and this was one of them.
