I'm watching Faith (it's on the same disc as Home--already in the player), and when Jensen is playing Dean as ill, his voice is higher, softer, his body language is looser, his facial expressions are not as scowly. He wasn't really far from CJ and Alec in S1.
Supernatural 1: Saving People, Hunting Things - the Family Business
[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.
I had most of the good ones still on the dvr, so I didn't watch them on dvd. But I will, at least the five you mention.
My rewatch: [link]
Fuck a duck! I forgot about Fresh Blood!
Hey! What do you know? That's more than a few! Worth the bucks!
For completists like me, it's not even a question. And honestly, I will happily rewatch most of S3.
Don't hate me.
The Christmas episode is right up there on my list of favorites, but I would give up the rest of the season. I guess I do love the boys doing comedy in the rabbit foot episode. Sam in the motel room...hahaha. My least favorite episode ever is also during S3, Bedtime Stories. Unless I do a rewatch with you guys here, I may never see most of S3 again. I never felt that let down though. I always assumed the strike forced them into putting what little they had out too quickly. Or something. And everything is better now.
Julie Benz has so much chemisty with JA in Faith. Oh I wish she could have joined the show. ::sigh::
Wow. Faith has some pretty important character study aspects considering where we are now. It's fun seeing the boys and their views. The years are really showing on the characters and that is satisfying to me.
eta: Oh, and I watched the deleted scenes from Home and that first one was pretty important. John's former partner at the garage called SRS about the boys. And John sold his half of the garage to buy guns before he disappeared. There is so much story in those early years right after Mary's death.
Someone, in ...some...article or other, which I can't find to cite, sorry, said that Kripke had managed to let his characters grow, develop, and age, while remaining true to their core personalities.
I think that's pretty high praise, considering the usual tv norm of cast-in-concrete characters, most of whom start out as caricatures anyway, and then, if the show runs long enough, take on aspects of their actors. But something resembling lifelike growth is fairly rare.
I rewatched Houses of the Holy post-Lazarus Rising and it's touching how much Sam wants to believe in Angels.
I need to re-watch Home.
Also - I also love Missouri and wish that she wasn't involved in that other 8 pm Thursday show and could appear on SPN again. (And yes, people hate her because she's "mean" to Dean. Whatever, people. These are no doubt some of the same people who think that Dean was abusing Sam when he punched him this week.)
Which 8pm show is she involved in? GA?
Amusing thing discovered while doing fic research: I was visiting my favorite site for retroactively figuring out conception dates (don't ask why I have one), and when I plugged in January 24 (not changing the cycle variables from the standard), the date it gave me for conception? May 2.
I laughed and laughed and laughed. (My mental math made late April/early May probable enough for the possible story, but I wasn't quite expecting it to show up with *that exact date* when I plugged in the numbers.)
