'Shells'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
His face looks about four years old coming off that bed going for the hug--which, I hear, was not scripted. Go actors' instinct!
I know Dean's a guy. Big guy, tough guy, manly man. But from childhood, no matter how good a father John was or wasn't, Dean was the only "mom" Sam ever had. Dean remembered Mom, and tried to take care of Sam the same way. "Brother," to Sam, has not the same meaning as it has to most of us, I think.
The hug wasn't scripted?
Really? What, were they just supposed to exchange meaningful looks?
What, were they just supposed to exchange meaningful looks?
Yah, apparently. Meaningful dialog, you know. It's one of those instances like at the end of BUABS, when recently-exorcised Sam asks, "Did I miss anything?" after torturing Dean and Dean hauls off and slugs him. The actors asked for one take and came up with that. From what I heard, and I can't verify because it would have taken me into dread spoilery-land, Jared just came off the bed and Jensen stood his ground and the take happened.
Even if it isn't true it makes a damn nice story.
But...then they did a lot of coverage on the hug with multiple angles. It took up many seconds of screentime. It wasn't some joking aside or a small gesture. It certainly seems like it was in the script to me.
Go with it P-C. Believe the magic. You know you want to.
It makes me love them even more. I really have to plateau on my love level at some point.
It also may not have been written in the script, and then they tried it in rehearsals, and Kim Manners liked it so much he decided to put it in. Still actor's choice, really.
Where'd you hear that, Bev? I can totally buy it, because of how well they work together, and I *want* to believe it because it makes them even more adorable, as well as really committed to their roles.
Well, who's to say the first shot of the hug was unscripted and once they realized how well it worked they went in for a couple more angle shots?
I read it on one of the LJ comms. A lot of the posters are uber spoilers ho's and read all the releases and sides (the actual script pages, subject to change*). One of them posted that the hug was not in the sides. I assumed that either in rehearsal or in an early take Jared just went with the emotion of the scene and Jensen (hey, did you know Jensen is just one letter off from Hensen, which I just typed three times, and...no. Just, no) went with Jared. Yeah, big assumption. But it's not without precedent, as that's exactly what happened in BUaBS.
*apparently the sides, or script pages, are made available to either websites or fansites by the production company after filming, but before the episode is aired. The sides, as I understand it, are the script as written, but before on-set changes to stunt gags, awkward lines, bits of business that don't work on camera, locations that are cancelled at the last minute, or other things that are added or deleted during filiming.
