Aha! I forget him as Timex Guy.

I will have to hit up Netflix for his other appearances. I'd like to find him attractive playing something other than an asshole, please. It would help my estimation of my mental health.

I caught some of Something Wicked this morning. I'm remembering the angst-fuel that it indeed is, although I think A Very Supernatural Christmas still wins for me. It has better Wee!Sam, for starters.

I'm not particularly looking forward to the subject matter of Swap Meat this week, but at least it makes a little more sense for them not to be chasing Lucifer if something adverse is being done to them. They need reasons for the filler.

My devotion to the brotherly bond will need a lot of convincing of why Dean doesn't notice someone else is playing Sam, but the snarky part of me says that if the kid that swaps with him is emo enough, it might be hard to tell. Or if Dean is being prickish enough, would he even be paying enough attention? Though one assumes one swaps with Sam for Small Potatoes sorts of reasons, so I'd expect some OOC behaviour.

I think he's in a few Weeds flashbacks.

I barely remember him on Angel, and I don't have the season on DVD yet! I think. I have to check.

He is in Weeds a few times. With his ex-girlfriend, no less.

Snerk.

His role in P.S. I Love You is pretty brief, but it's worth for a) a look at his bare ass, b) his Irish accent, and c) hearing him sing.

Dear me, yes. That movie has JDM, Gerard Butler, and Harry Connick Jr. Really, you can't go wrong here.

I think he's in a few Weeds flashbacks.

Yes, he is.

I can't decide if this video is incredibly mottsy or sad or what. BOYS.

It's not spoilery, by the way. It's Jared and Jensen, talking to fans.

I can't see YouTube at work--from the comments is it them telling fans not to believe any Facebook or tweeting as them? How unfortunate that that should be necessary.

That's what it is, yeah. They both just look serious and tired. Jared does most of the talking, but Jensen chimes in, too. It's under a minute.

Had a chance to watch it. Some people are dickwads. I wonder how old the fan that got taken in was...

Watched the end of Something Wicked. So it's here that Dean has taken to heart the idea of Sam having a different life. One episode after Sam's expressed desire to give it up when they find their mother's killer. Not bad processing time for him, considering. For Dean.

And I've always believed it was John who called Joshua with the lead on Roy LeGrange, so that Joshua would pass the information on to Sam.

Beverly, that's a pleasant thought. But as far as I can remember there's absolutely no basis for that at all in canon. There's no indication of any response at all from John to the news that Dean was dying.

But he couldn't leave them unprotected.

Every time I see the argument that John drug his boys all across the country in a peripatetic lifestyle and therefore left them alone in motel rooms and incorporated them into the dangerous hunting lifestyle that it was 'to protect them' part of me accepts that he sincerely thought he would only believe they were in one piece if he could see them with his own eyes. Another part of me absolutely cringes at the thought of all the additonal danger he placed them in. And yet a third part of me says that it makes John's infamous "if you leave here don't ever come back" mandate totally incomprehensible. (That is, supposedly the boys had to be with him instead of being anywhere else, but when Sam declared his intent to leave John ensured that Sam couldn't return "home." Or looking at it the other way, if John needed distance from them to keep them safe, then why all the family dramatics and ultimatums and insisting that Sam stay in the hunting unit? It's a catch-22.)

My devotion to the brotherly bond will need a lot of convincing of why Dean doesn't notice someone else is playing Sam, but the snarky part of me says that if the kid that swaps with him is emo enough, it might be hard to tell. Or if Dean is being prickish enough, would he even be paying enough attention?

ita, I find myself cringing in advance too, and I hope I'm wrong. I'm fearing a lot of "oh Sam, you're so emo I couldn't tell you apart from a a 14-year-old, ha ha ha" jokes and accompanying bitchfaces. (Also, Sam gets the rap for being emo, but dammit Dean broods. He pouts, he stares out windows, he holds meaningful silences, and he cries single crystalline tears of manpain. Why doesn't he ever get called on his emo shit?)

I call Sam emo and Dean not because Dean's personality is predicated on denying that he feels anything, and he lets it leak out reluctantly in a very macho fashion. Sam's expressive with his pain, ergo emo's a nice lazy label to slap on him to mock.

Single many tear vs. bitchface. It's a hard call, but different.
