He was acutie, but there were times, you have to admit, when he was really obtuse.

he's always known where we're going, unlike some other shows' producers

Now, here, I have to give credit with you. Was it livejournal, I disremember, but someone was saying at Chicago Con Jensen reported Kripke's reaction to this season's ratings? Kripke had accepted this was the last season so the writers were throwing everything at the audience. Then the premiere ratings came in and he hung his head and sighed, "Crap!" I do think he has had a plan, maybe high level, but a plan, all along.

Kripke's comments never ping much more than an eyeroll from me. I often wanted to beat Joss with a shovel. Possibly because Kripke comes off as more speaking without thinking, and Joss as a smug SNAG type of a dickwad.

What's SNAG? I have to keep acronym-current, you understand.

Sensitive New Age Guy. The kind who will brew you tea to help with your menses. And who will use that word. And who will expect accolade upon accolade (and possible fellatio, though he'd never ask you, he'd just hint) for the simple act of brewing the tea.

What Juliana said!

Does that work? I should learn how to brew some tea.

Oh, THAT guy. Got it. Thank you.

Juliana, that may be the most astute and most elegant encapsulation of that particular phenomenon I have ever seen. Brava!

I confess, I've sought and acquired my share of this breed, thinking that guy was truly my 'type.' Now that I'm so much older and presumably wiser, I'm all about the "man's man."

How would you describe him? (I know which SPN character I'd categorize as such, just wondering what you think.)

I have never wanted a SNAG. I don't want a cocker spaniel. I want someone who can argue without getting into a fight, who can change the oil in my car. Someone who knows how to use a gun, although he might not keep ome in the house. Someone who tries to avoid thr barfight, but once he's in it, gets in some good damn licks. Likes beer or whiskey or scotch, and won't press them on me. He can figure out how to get my bookshelves together and then reads most of the books on 'em. Likes to look at the bosom and eat of the meat, but doesn't care if other choose not to. Understands I do not need rescue, but go to the mat if I should be mistaken and ever actually need it. Someone with a wicked sense of humor. Someone who likes women, likes men and likes animals. Someone who can comfort a crying child or woman without losing his shit or being patronizing and dismissive.

bonny, I think you're thinking of Dean (I think), but I am Mal's bitch.
