Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Jensen was born in 1978.
And I have way less issue with age discrepancies than I do with wilting-flower characterizations of Cas. If Cas is independent of and resistant (initially) to Dean, is his own person, and can dish out as good as he gets, yet is 10 or 15 years younger than he should be? I'll take it. There's too much age-appropriate Cas where his awkwardness is translated to weak.
But making him young as an instrument of characterisation is off to me. Even when he was a new human, he wasn't young. He was secure, and just got put out when pushed by Dean into genuinely embarrassing situations. He's not generally unsure. More often than not, he's BAMFy, or angsty. But not angstier than Dean, so it shouldn't be a reason to make him young.
eta: It's just that Cas is so much older than Dean in every scene. My brain doesn't see any reason for that flip, ever.
Undo it! Undo it!
Concur.
I wish I hadn't clicked. Not for any spoiler squeamishness, just ewwwwwness.
Look at the colors on Sam and Dean, though. I've never seen Sam wear a chocolate brown shirt, ever. I think that's just photo shoot styling, not real costuming.
Sam is looking hot, Dean looks fine, and Misha looks good. Shame they didn't put Cas in the pic, though.
But people who aren't crazycakes casual viewers probably don't know that.
So... is he not Cas because he's wearing black?
