The Originals, in a way, is very similar to the plot. It has the same set up...waring families...a city...love triangles...it is working for them.
And it fits with the VD universe. From the plot of this spin off, it sounds as if they are forcing it into the SPN universe. How can you spin something off a show without any of it having any ties to the show? I can't think of anything else at the moment, but Men of Letters would have ties.
I am sure there are, or were, tons of other characters and story lines they could've picked up on.
They might've been better off to just create a whole new show and run with the story line. I will give the first episode a go since I can't help myself. But I would be very surprised if the show becomes a hit with the SPN crowed. I haven't heard any enthusiasm about it...mild interest and like you, just giving it a go for the sake of it, but nothing else...
