The guy that's not as goodlooking

I whole-heartedly agree that JA is beautiful, but I am constitutionally incapable of agreeing that JP doesn't hold equal attraction for me. One of the favorite icons I've seen on LJ (that I can't find to link to right now) has Sam holding that white towel over one hip, gorgeous broad chest gratuitously exposed, and it says "In my fandom, this is the geek."

OTOH, I prefer him a bit better groomed. The wild man/mountain man look doesn't do as much for me as it seems to do for some of you.

Groomed or not, I'm an equal opportunity drooler when it comes to JP.

JA takes my breath away. He's absolutely unreal at the right angles. And most of the angles? Pretty damned right.

But transpose JP to just about any other show out there, and, yeah, he takes centre stage. UNF, as they say on ONTD. Damn. Randomly: big mitts pic.

And, seriously, Misha? JDM? Random guest stars? I'm weak all over.

Dean!Girl, Cas!Girl, Sam!Girl, Sir!Girl. It's all good. Just Dean first.

"In my fandom, this is the geek."

I'd have to apply that to a Hardison icon, but Sam has second place. Again, it's a really high second place, because I am phenomenally crazy about Hardison.

See, I'd like all guys to be bearded. The wild hair depends, but it REALLY works for me with JP. With JA, I don't mind his hair a little longer, but I'd mostly like it S1 length ... and then a beard.

I would be happy to take either or both of them without, however. I am just that open-minded.

My favourite SPN beard.

Man, it would be great if Sam came back with a beard next season because he'd been living that rough.

Poll: How long before Sam and Dean meet up again--show minutes or even episodes? I'm going to be a twitching mess if we make it to the halfway point of ep 1 and they've not seen each other yet, but then again, I do watch the show in order to twitch and mess.

Oh yes. JDM's perpetual beardedness when he's not filming is one my favorite things ever.

For dramatic effect, I'm going to say ... the very last shot of the first episode.

I was going to say.

Speaking of ... JDM is going to be on Craig Ferguson tonight. Rowr.

JDM's conversations with Craig are always great fun -they seem to really connect and let themselves be silly

Edit to add that I'd love to see Jared on Craig's show - JP would be hyperactive, Craig would encourage and add to it and no one would remember to cut to the commercial break

Poll: How long before Sam and Dean meet up again--show minutes or even episodes?

I don't know what to expect, but I want episodes. From my faulty memory, they've not been separated, in our eyes, for more than two episodes. Correct me if I'm wrong.

S1 they split and reunited within the same ep "Scarecrow"

S2 We've got "All Hell Breaks Loose Pt. 1", and they are reunited, albeit briefly by the end (Sam's death being an inconvenient obstacle), and are back together by the beginning of part 2.

S3 there's Mystery Spot, with Dean temporarily dead for the second half of the ep, but back by the end.

S4 they are reunited fairly quickly after Dean's resurrection, split up at the end of "When the Levee Breaks", and reunite at the end of "Lucifer Rising", which are back to back episodes, so that's an eps worth of time.

S5 they part ways at the end of the second ep, "Good God, Y'all" and are back together by the end of the fourth episode "The End" --this is the longest they've been parted onscreen, that's the two eps worth of being parted.

So, in my opinion, they need to up the pain and the mess. At least, at least, three episodes before they're hugging. There can be glimpses and hallucinations and dreams before the epic hugging. But what I do Not want is Dean and Sam together inexplicably with a lot of untold backstory. I want the pain of the separation tenfold, explicitly.

Also, Jared has the sweetest eyes. Like, soulful and kind and made of puppy dogs and sunshine.
