Man, Elliot's hair loss has had me wishing Sam could do the same. Jared's hair never got the level of ridiculous that CK's did (I still think the braids -and possibly beads- beat out the dimple-infringing sideburns). I wonder, for purely academic reasons, what a season 1-type hairstyle would look on a 2012!Jared. Or even something middling.

Also, that sneak peak has me conflicted and angsty. My first reaction was "MEAN!". And I think that reaction is both from a meta pov and a narrative pov, but not a proper reaction for an unfolding story.

Good lord. I've never liked Sam's hair more. Get your traitorous self away from him.

I have a weird panic they'll fuck with the fangirls and give him a buzzcut before all is said and done (can you imagine hiding that spoiler???), but for now, I like it even more than before.

But then again, I'm on record as never having been mad at the beads either. Potentially cheesy rationale aside.

The beads?

I think Jared totally carries off the hair, but Kane really didn't. Not as long as it was, and doing that flippy thing. Maybe it's the body proportions or the face shape, but I like Jared/Sam with long hair much more than Kane.

Kane would wear a tiny braid with beads in it as a nod to his Native heritage. Never bothered me any, but a fair number of people thought it looked stupid.

I don't know if I ever noticed the beads. Huh.

It took me way too long to find even this crappy example: [link] . Zoom!

I can't work out why they aren't more prevalent.

Oh, yeah. Wow, I really do like his hair shorter. Those eyes, though. Mmm.

Where's Cass? This discussion is relevant to her interests.

I don't know if she's caught up, to be honest. So she might not be reading in here?

Kane does make me think of her, though, it's true.

Hey, did we know this? From the report on the con in Dallas this weekend:

Misha Collins (last minute cancellation, awaiting birth of second child)

I hope West doesn't, you know, eat the new baby.
