I'm suddenly realizing most of the shows I watch are filmed around Vancouver.
One of the road trips I'm plotting in my head is tooling around Vancouver, spotting as many locations as I can. I think it'd be fun - special bonus if I get to play Canadian Actor Bingo at the same time.

One of my favorite things to play when watching TV is, Hey! It's that farm!
A lot of the "rural" scenes in genre TV get filmed near where my Aunts Dean and Cindie live, and thus are things I've been by a zillion times over the years.
Smallville was especially good for that.
"Hi, I'm Captain America, and this is my howler monkey Jared. Say hello, Jared."
Cherry-picking from Juliebird's comments:
And just that little look in the rearview mirror at Dean told it all: Sam didn't not kill his father because he couldn't bring himself to do it, but because Dean had asked him not to. Wow. Just, wow.
And it carries through into Season 2, what the boys will do for each other, because of each other, that they wouldn't for anyone else. But Devil's Trap still takes the cake, cuz it's their dad, and Sam woulda blown him away I bet, except that Dean asked him not to.
Also, in Devil's Trap, Dean's "Daddy" kills me. From "Dad, don't let it kill me" to a little boy crying out, "Daddy" just hurts my heart. And Sam puts Dean before The Hunt.
Oh, Sam.
One of the other fragments that always stands out to me, in the midst of all the other high-tension moments in that scene, is that after Sam finally shoots into his father's body, which just seems like the fulfillment of some hideous Greek tragedy, he steps over John's bleeding body to get to Dean. Who of course is lying there broken and bleeding and dying, himself. I love the monsters of the week, and the pretty, but I really, really love the bond between those two and their struggle to rebuild it.
By the way, as I've been catching up I see that we've been sharing livejournal names. I'm morgana_st over there.

I've seriously had this thought too. Then, I wonder if I have slipped over the edge of fandom, but since I don't want to stalk anyone and would give equal opportunities to my shows, I still count as sane, right? Right now it seems even more appealing because it is a hundred and hell degrees outside and the pictures of Vancouver look like a safe haven.
I'll add a third to Morgana and Juliebird's love of the bond between the brothers. Even in construct world, when supposedly Sam didn't feel close to Dean, he still got in the car with him to go fight the Djinn. Subconscious Dean knows that Sam would always stand to fight with him. *sigh* And the pretty, and the stories are good too.
I just unsubscribed to the Spoilers thread. I know casting, and the little info from Comic Con, but I've decided to keep it at that. We will see how long I can keep that up. I'm betting I break before the first episode.
Sumi, that pic is priceless. I've been missing the boys and once again, Jared is just one giant gorgeous goof.
Okay, I've been trolling the 'nets looking for the damn suit picture and the pink flowery stripey shirts pics from the 2005 and 2006 upfronts where Jared is climbing Jensen like a tree, and someone seems to have stolen them away. They were just there last week, I swear. My Google fu fails me. Anybody? All I want to do is make a triptych--is that so wrong?
Yay, Ailleann for the win!
Another vid rec -- ya'll have to go watch Want by Destina [link] it's what the Yellow Eyed Demon wants.
