There was also a different but similar clip with the "hey, handsome" greeting wasn't there?

I don't really remember specifics since it was seven years ago, but I know I tuned in for Amy Acker and was not impressed by her or anyone else in the episode. On top of "Wendigo," it convinced me the show wasn't something I needed to watch, and I didn't catch any more until "Croatoan."

I remember that my little brother made me watch an ep, going on about the awesome dynamic between the two sarcastic brothers, but there must have beena scheduling conflict, and it had cropped up amongst so many other one-word titled shows, and I might have been coming down from TV Show Heartache and never gave it a proper chance. Was probably before Hulu and network websites airing eps online. I had liked what I'd seen, but I think I was burnt out from Firefly, or still obsessed with it to the point of not watching anything else.

(Now I'm obsessed with SPN to the point that I can't really dedicated myself to any other shows).

I don't think it occurred to me at any point that I had an option to stop. Not once I'd started. Even at the point where I kept calling Sam Dean I was here as long as they were.

I'm excited for this season, too. I think for me, whatever you my really beloved characters through, I want to see it. They're like family now, or something not as deranged and sad as that. Either way, I'm going to be interested no matter what.

There are very few shows I feel that way about, though.

When Show returns I want an ep where one or both of the boys have beards.

If Dean's gone for more than three or four days he ought to come back with one.

I guess it depends on how they treat a whole living human body in place that is meant for dead monsters. Like, if issues of hunger and bodily functions aren't an issue, then I don't expect his body to grow hair or nails. If starvation is an issue, there better be beards, darnit!

So we have a work event, and I meet a new person who sees my cube's "decorations".

"OMG! You like Supernatural!"

::my eyes light up, my heart's ablaze with the potential here::

She points to a picture of Dean and says, "This guy here, Dean, Dean's my future husband."

I don't even check myself and say "Pfft. His only love is this guy here." and tap a teeny picture of Castiel.

Anyway, we're later on in the scavenger hunt, and we need a picture of a celebrity to tape to a broom so someone can pretend to dance with them, and I grab the signed picture of Castiel I have for no reason other than Creation sent it to me.

She says "That's Castiel, isn't it? Bet you're surprised I know that!"

And my heart shattered into a million pieces.

I'm not asking for much, I swear I'm not. I just seem to always get less.

I watched this and one of my takeaways is that Edlund is a goofy mess! I love it!

Edlund is so thin! Is he always that thin?

Also, "diet hell"! Bwah.

Okay, Edlund is totally stoned. He has to be.
