I think I am already in the mindset that the season is over. I knew when the strike was needed, that we would likely be seeing the end of the season. So, for me, these last four episodes are just the secret toy surprise inside. Ghostfacers wasn't my favorite episode, but I enjoyed it. It wasn't the worst episode so far in the series. My worst episodes of Supernatural are better than the best of any other series right now. YSPNMV
It has also been the pattern to hit us with a comedy before reaching for the drama, so I am fully expecting to be overwhelmed next week. Plus, we have the preview of JOHN!
I am not the biggest fan out there. but I think my curiosity/speculation was really hungry....and is still STARVING
I thought this SPN vid was just amazing.
That was gorgeous, Perkins. Although I'm a little confused by the additional not-SPN footage, it works so well. And the song could have been written for the show. Wow.
That was really good. Loved all the Dantesque and Gericaultesque additions.
Holy CRAP that vid was awesome. I might need to watch that fifty more times.
That was amazing. I had to go leave a comment.
Next week's TV Guide's cover story is about TV's Sexiest Stars, and bless them, they give JP two big pictures, on pages 64-65. The paragraph underneath from Katie Cassidy (each star has a testimonial from a costar) is pretty much forgettable, but those pictures.... in the picture on the right, his arm has a vein showing that I just want to trace with my tongue. And the pictures make me regret yet again that Sam dresses in so many layers.
The two guys were apparently voted Sexiest Siblings, but the small picture TV Guide uses on page 58 doesn't show them to their best advantage.
I just realized why I've been finding Sam unattractive of late: his forehead. Has it always been that big?! His hair has been pulled away from his face before, so why am I just realizing this now? Maybe JP's just getting older, maybe the makeup people for Ghostfacers did something that didn't mix well with the handheld cameras?
I never thought I'd wish for Sam's bangs to hang over his eyes, but I do!
::hides all the scissors::
JP's facial structure is settling into adulthood; both jaw and forehead are monumental. They sort of balance each other. The hair people have been pulling his hair off his face to emphasize Sam's hardening of purpose and his growing strength. It's been a three-step process.
Before S1 JP wore his bangs parted and mostly off his face. For Sam, they gave him bangs to the eyebrows (and waxed or sprayed them into place. Helmet-head, they never budged) to infantilize him slightly and emphasize his dependence on Dean as protector.
By 2.02, the bangs were parted and stayed that way all season to reflect Sam's acceptance of a heavier role and a more adult attitude and attributes. S3 started with parted bangs, and now they're moving towards getting the hair completely off his face to "expose" his true nature--whatever that turns out to be.
Okay, that's all moonshine and speculation, but I think there's definitely an element of that at work. Honestly? I'd like to see JP with a good haircut, and get rid of that flippy shit behind the ears.
