Yeah, it's Todd. Can't fool you guys. I looked at that and thought, it's running. From here to there. He needs a stuntie for running?

Maybe Jensen was getting interviewed or made up or was otherwise busy and Jared wanted a run-through of the blocking ?

Season 4, Round 1, Bracket #1/4:

Castiel: I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition. - such a killer intro line

Ruby: This body is 100% socially conscious. I recycle. Al Gore would be proud.. - could make you like Ruby for the snark (what might have been)

Chuck: I am the prophet Chuck! - cause it rocks

Chuck: Well there is only one explanation. Obviously I'm a God. A cruel, cruel capricious god. - foreshadowing!

Season 4, Round 1, Bracket #2/4:

Dean: On November 2nd 1983, don't get out of bed. No matter what you hear, or what you see. Promise me you won't get out of bed. - Dean trying to make things right

Bobby: Solid iron. Completely coated in salt. One hundred percent ghost-proof.
Sam: You built a panic room?
Bobby: (defensively) I had a weekend off. - Of course this is what Bobby does in his free time

Dean: Y'know, I finally get why you and Dad butted heads so much. You two are practically the same person. I mean, I worshiped the guy, I dressed like him, I acted like him. I listened to the same music. But you are more like him than I will ever be. And I see that now.
Sam: I'll take that as a compliment.
Dean: You take it any way you want. - What Dean says is so true and it also illustrates his disillusionment with his father.

Young Mary Winchester: I want a family. I wanna be safe. You know the worst thing I can think of, the very worst thing, is for my children to be raised into this like I was. - poor poor Mary

Season 4, Round 1, Bracket #3/4:

Dean: You can take your peace, and shove it up your lily-white ass. 'Cause I'll take the pain, and the guilt, I'll even take Sam as is. It's a lot better than bein' some Stepford Bitch in paradise! - Go Dean!

Sam: Dude, you're confusing reality with porn again. - brothers.. . .

Dean: Brother! I have been re-hymenated. And the dude will not abide! -see above

Wes: Aren't you the guys from the health department?
Sam: Yeah. And florists on the side.
Dean: Plus FBI. And on Thursdays, we're teddy bear doctors. - love this

Season 4, Round 1, Bracket #4/4:

Sam: I tried everything. That's the truth. I tried opening the Devil's Gate. Hell, I tried to bargain, Dean, but no demon would deal, all right? You were rotting in Hell for months. For months, and I couldn't stop it. So I'm sorry it wasn't me, all right? Dean, I'm sorry.

Dean: There's Sam Girls and Dean Girls and...What's a slash fan?
Sam: As in Sam slash Dean together.
Dean: Like together, together? They do know we are brothers right?

Bobby: You stupid, stupid son of a bitch! Well, boo hoo! I am so sorry your feelings are hurt, princess! Are you under the impression that family's supposed to make you feel good, make you an apple pie, maybe? They're supposed to make you miserable! That's why they're family!

Castiel: Uriel's the funniest angel in the garrison. Ask anyone. - I can't wait for more Castielisms from season 5.

Each season the choices get harder.

S4, R1, B1:

• Gripped you tight: Cas is so serious and formal.

• Show me some respect: I hate how proud of herself Ruby is, as if it makes up for all the evil she has done & is going to do.

• I am the prophet Chuck!: Best name for a prophet ever.

• I'm a cruel capricious god: yeah I’m voting for two Chuck quotes in a row but Chuck is awesome and the Alastair quote is meh.

S4, R1, B2

• Don't get out of bed: This was tough but in the end I decided that making fun of BDSM is a cheap laugh.

• The whistle makes me their god: I agonized over this one too but eventually decided that Bobby should be proud of his panic room. It sure does come in handy in the future.

• You just thought I was a dick: The other quote makes me sad.

• I want a family. I wanna be safe: It breaks my heart & I think even if she had told John the truth it wouldn’t have changed anything.

S4, R1, B3

• I'll take the pain: I wanted to vote for an Alastair quote but this one’s just so much better. It’s good to hear that Dean takes Sam “as is”.

• I like that John kid: I like to hear him say it.

• I will stab you in the face: The threat of facial stabbination is never not funny.

• we're teddy bear doctors: Teddy bear doctors!

S4, R1, B4

• I'm not suicidal: Because I love this episode and I didn’t vote for the crazy people quote.

• They do know we are brothers: I’m squicked by the boys finding out about slash but the other quote does nothing for me.

• They're supposed to make you miserable: I love Bobby most when he has no snympathy.

• Uriel's the funniest angel in the garrison: Yes, angels are so funny.

---

Dang, making choices is HARD. I just went with gut reactions and can't provide commentary at all.

S4, R1, 1/4

• I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition.
• You should show me some respect. I dragged you out of hell. I can throw you back in.
• Sam loves research. He does. He keeps it under his mattress, right next to his KY. It's a sickness, it is.
• Don't you recognize me? Oh, I forgot -- I'm wearing a pediatrician.

S4, R1, 2/4

• before we get started, what's your safe word?
• I had a weekend off.
• You just thought I was a dick.
• And you --you're gassy! You eat half a burrito, and you get toxic!

S4, R1, 3/4

• It's a lot better than bein' some Stepford Bitch in paradise!
• Dude, you're confusing reality with porn again.
• And the dude will not abide!
• Bad crap happens to good people. That's how it is.

S4, R1, 4/4

• You were rotting in Hell for months. For months, and I couldn't stop it.
• As in Sam slash Dean together.
• It's like what is it with you and bangin' monsters?
• Uriel's the funniest angel in the garrison. Ask anyone.

Season 4, Round 1, Bracket #1:

• Castiel: I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition. --Hello Castiel!

• Castiel: You should show me some respect. I dragged you out of hell. I can throw you back in. --Still hot angel talk

• Dean: Sam loves research. He does. He keeps it under his mattress, right next to his KY. It's a sickness, it is. --Either way on this one.

• Chuck: Well there is only one explanation. Obviously I'm a God. A cruel, cruel capricious god. --Meh on both choices.

Season 4, Round 1, Bracket #2/4:

• Dean: On November 2nd 1983, don't get out of bed. No matter what you hear, or what you see. Promise me you won't get out of bed.--And he would try again if given the chance. *sniff*

• Bobby: (defensively) I had a weekend off. --Ha Bobby

• Dean: Y'know, I finally get why you and Dad butted heads so much. You two are practically the same person. I mean, I worshiped the guy, I dressed like him, I acted like him. I listened to the same music. But you are more like him than I will ever be. And I see that now.

Sam: I'll take that as a compliment. Dean: You take it any way you want. --You are so dead on right here Dean.

• Young Mary Winchester: I want a family. I wanna be safe. You know the worst thing I can think of, the very worst thing, is for my children to be raised into this like I was.--Oh Mary. I hope you have a normal family in your Heaven. The other line is some of the funniest that Jensen has done, but Amy Gumenick's earnestness about this line broke me. It tells so much of Mary's character.

Season 4, Round 1, Bracket #3/4:

• Alastair: (coughing) Something caught in my throat. (pause) I think it's my throat. --Coin toss

• Dean: Hey, I wanted to tell you, you know for what it's worth. Um...it doesn't matter what your Dad thinks, I like that John kid. --I like the porn line, but here Dean is a little boy that is still protecting his parents.

• Dean: Angel or not, I will stab you in the face. --I really don't like the re-hymenated line. Really.

• Dean: How does He live with Himself? You know, why doesn't He help? --Yikes Dean. Yeah.

Season 4, Round 1, Bracket #4/4:

• Sam: Dude, where are you going? That was our hotel.

Dean: Sam, I'm not going to make a left hand turn into on coming traffic. I'm not suicidal. Did I just say that? That's kind of weird. --Delivery

• Dean: There's Sam Girls and Dean Girls and...What's a slash fan?

Sam: As in Sam slash Dean together. Dean: Like together, together? They do know we are brothers right? --addressing slash gets a vote

• Bobby: You stupid, stupid son of a bitch! Well, boo hoo! I am so sorry your feelings are hurt, princess! Are you under the impression that family's supposed to make you feel good, make you an apple pie, maybe? They're supposed to make you miserable! That's why they're family! --I'm not a fan of OTT Bobby, but the other line was throw away.

• Castiel: Uriel's the funniest angel in the garrison. Ask anyone. --Robert Wisdom's performance made this even funnier.

---

S4R1 #1/4:

• I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition. (Awesome introduction to Castiel and angels)
• This body is 100% socially conscious. I recycle. Al Gore would be proud. (Not a fan of Ruby's, but this was a great line.)
• Sam loves research. He does. He keeps it under his mattress, right next to his KY. It's a sickness, it is. (Big brother teasing, even when things weren't going so well between them.)
• Obviously I'm a God. A cruel, cruel capricious god. (Um... evidently, yes.)

S4R1 #2/4:

• what's your safe word? (I love this.)
• The whistle makes me their god. (That whole scene made me very happy.)
• This guy's good. (Tough choice, but I love Sam's pensive and brooding shoulders.)
• And that Sam, that is exactly why our lives suck. I mean, come on, we hunt monsters! What the hell?! (Dean ranting... hilarious!)

S4R1 #3/4:

• I'll even take Sam as is. It's a lot better than bein' some Stepford Bitch in paradise! (Yeah! The beginnings of Team Free Will)
• Dude, you're confusing reality with porn again. (Again, hilarious!)
• Angel or not, I will stab you in the face. (I don't care who you are, that's funny.)
• But if He is out there, what's wrong with Him? (I've often asked myself that same question.)

S4R1 #4/4:

• So I'm sorry it wasn't me, all right? Dean, I'm sorry. (Oh, Sammy...)
• They do know we are brothers, right? (I'm squicking right there with you, boys.)
• They're supposed to make you miserable! That's why they're family! (Truer words were never spoken, particularly after the evening I just had. Christ.)
• Uriel's the funniest angel in the garrison. Ask anyone. (Ah, Castiel...)

You know, when they write about the blond with hazel eyes, I'm all "Bzuh?" Because he's a brunet with green eyes. I get that he used to be blond, but he's not now. And I get that hazel means greenish brown, but those are Sam's eyes, not Dean's. Dean's are green green. Yet, I caution, not emerald. Because, weird.

Eh, his hair is still in the dark blond/light brown range enough that I'd lean towards calling him dark blond. Certainly, buying the color in the beauty supply store, it would be labelled blond. (The closest off the rack color I can remember would be the defunct Nice n Easy shade Natural Blonde Brown.) It's light enough that when they actually use full saturation, it doesn't register as brunette to me.

Note, however, that my color definitions are strongly affected by the years I spent fucking around with chemical dyes.
