There's a lot of Dean in his mannerisms and his speech.
And John. Funny, for a born-and-bred Seattleite, JDM sure can get his cowboy on.
She was the one they missed; she was the Sam never even got to know.
May be my overactive imagination, but it seemed to me (promo spoilers)
that she didn't even acknowledge Sam. The clothes hanging on the rack by the door were *so little*! Plus Dean's "wuv a hug" shirt indicate he may be younger than four, before Sam was born.
I think Dean is looking at The End as what would have happened if he had stayed estranged from Sam. I think he's desperately trying to believe it's preventable, that choice can affect destiny. I have to say, in terms of my life I agree with that viewpoint, but I don't know what Kripke's opinions are on the subject.
Get those boys some hats and horses STAT!!
(gulps. nods.) Uh huh.
It's funny. I think JA's been out of Texas long enough and worked at it hard enough that it wasn't really his default any more. I think he could pull it out when he needed it, but unlike JP, it didn't seep in when he was tired. But tied so close to JP for so long, I think his cultivated RP has eroded by osmosis, and I think he's defaulting to Texas more and more when he's unguarded.
I do know I played that second clip quite a few times. I don't think I've ever seen an expression like that on anybody's face in real life or in a movie, certainly not one that gutpunched like that one.* And I think the taunting and the goading was inevitable. You canNOT leave me living when he's gone--you send me after, RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. I'll figure out what to do about you later, once Sam and I are together.
*It's a way of desensitizing, so I can actually watch that scene in situ and not flood tears too badly to see.
And also, yay toaster, Raq! (I love your tagline!)
I got teary from you talking about it Bev.
Also, (I don't know why I am stuck on the promo) but when JP says "Who told you that?", the look and the delivery are his top shelf stuff. That would never have been Rory's Dean.
Oh JP, you are doing so well, right before our eyes.
eta: I didn't know that JDM was from Seattle. I don't know why my mind was placing him from Kentucky, which is random I know, but that is where my head put him. Seattle. huh.
Well, you know the guy that was "Trip" in Enterprise was supposed to be Florida but did a Oklahoma/Texas accent very convincingly instead. And wasn't he from the Northeast also? I have to go look up some names and bios in imdb.
It's funny but now I am examining my own speech. From South Central Kansas born and raised with influences from Oklahoma and Southeast Kansas/Missouri, I have lived out of state in NY, and Austin. I don't say "bidness" for business but I do say "bizness". Oil is "all". Tougher than boiled owl is "tuffern balled Al." But really on an everyday basis I think I keep my twang in check. I don't sound like Paula Dean.
Theresa - JDM's character from Grey's Anatomy was from Kentucky.
ETA: And I recall him saying that his mother was from Texas so maybe that's why he can do that voice so well.
D'oh...then that is it. JDM is really Denny to me. :)
Next week may settle the issue, but I'm not entirely convinced that the Heaven Michael, Zachariah, etc. inhabit is also the benevolent afterlife that human beings experience. At least I'd hope not... in the long run a Heaven being run by the likes of Zachariah would just be Hell with a prettier coat of paint.
JDM is really Denny to me. :)
BURN HER! BURN HER!
Tangentially, I love how on ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com they call JDM Sir. They're such SPN fan(boy/girl)s.

He does seem incompatible with eternal happiness. But maybe he does travelling work and it's nicer guys that stay near to home and tend the happy souls.

Redmond, really. Which, when he was growing up, was less of a traffic clusterfuck posh place than it is now.
Hell, when he was growing up, there was still a chicken farm at 1 Microsoft Way.
