I hope it is also a little fun though. I will do 3 episodes as a test to see if it is entertaining at all .... The puzzle is, from each episode, to guess who said what about which character(s). Mostly it's nicknames but some are aliases and descriptions.
There are a (ridiculous) number of rules/clarifications.
- Some answers are worth 2 points (said by / said to) and some are worth 3 (said by / said to / said about).
- Each is worth a maximum of 3 points so if any part - by/to/about - is about more than one person it still only counts as one point.
- Someone talking about themself or describing someone else to that person should count as three points (so Dean as the 'Driver' is talking to Sam about Dean). I am not sure that I have been consistent about that though
- The names are not necessarily in the order used in the episode ...
- Some people may not be known by anything other than their nickname.
- Sometimes the same combination is used more than once in the same episode by different combinations of people.
- The same person / creature may get called several things.
- I am using Super-wiki's transcripts and I am already seeing that Netflix doesn't necessarily match the transcript.
- I will post the answers on a separate thread and you can add up your own score (don't expect me to do the math, I don't do math).
- If your score is different to what I say it should be I am completely bribe-able.
- Post your answers as a comment (if you feel like it
)I think that the names and descriptions will get more varied / entertaining later in the season(s) .... I hope
The first episode is done a little different to the others - in general I won't give family names (Mom, Dad etc) or diminutives (except,of course, the most story relevant one) also there are way too many dude/man's etc ... However if it is said as a description of someone then it stays in (hence pretty much all the 'bitch' s and variations, however I may get bored when it comes to multiple uses of 'douche' etc and 'dick' - I am fickle like that)

My Excel spreadsheet (this seemed like such a simple idea when I came up with it about 3 hours ago) says that the maximum possible score here should be 65 points
Note about 14 I just discovered that there is a whole section of this conversation (which is about pentagrams and protection ...) cut out of the Netflix version, I am pretty sure it is in the DVD version. If you have only seen it on Netflix this isn't going to mean anything to you.
