Okay, that resolve didn't last long.

Watched the second sneak peek. Cried.

I'm totally on the edge of my seat for Thursday. Whetted.

Totally want a Medium/SPN crossover.

Watched.

::bounce::

I know this finale is going to be fraught. I think that's why I decided to go ahead and just watch the damned clip. To dissipate the tension. If I can get some of the emotional reaction done now, then I can pay more actual attention during the episode itself. But that last clip is a true teaser, because no matter what you're feeling during it, you know it cuts off before the real emotional payoff.

Toronto Sun interview with JA

I found this interesting:

“I was just talking to Josh Jackson (currently of Fringe) who did six years on Dawson’s Creek,” Ackles said. “He goes, ‘You are moving into your sixth season (on Supernatural), aren’t you?’ And I did the sixth season of Dawson’s Creek with him.

“I said, ‘I remember you guys (on Dawson’s Creek) were just champing at the bit to get out of there.’ He said, ‘Yeah — are you about ready to be done?’

“And I’m like, ‘No, I’m not, actually.’ ”

I tell you what, in my own personal opinion, which is worth exactly jack squat, I think those actors have very different career goals. JP wants to be a name, a Hollywood actor, something of a celebrity.

I think JA wants job security. He likes the family feeling of the SPN-Vancouver set, and he's learning a lot of behind-the-scenes technical stuff with an eye to moving behind the camera. The whole eye of the public thing is something he does because it's part of the job. I think JP eats it up, enjoys working a room, and would miss being in the spotlight.

As I said, opinion only, based on interviews and observation.

Wasn't JA the one who said the "back the Brinks truck up" comment about S6?

Yup. I maintain it was in sarcastic response to a critic who said the actors were probably holding out for a big income boost. Though he could easily have been in earnest.

Why not? Dude's pretty active on twitter. He might even answer.

I maintain that if we invited him to our premiere or finale watching party, dude would show up.

Sneak peek #2

Watched. I made the right decision. If that clip can make me cry then I have way too much built up anxiety for this show.

Okay, new rule. Nobody can die. Nobody. I don't care about narrative sense or whose story is done. Just this once, everybody lives!

::is sobbing mess::

Jensen and Danneel better hurry up and get married in the next few days already because I need some happiness associated with this show STAT.

Yup. I maintain it was in sarcastic response to a critic who said the actors were probably holding out for a big income boost. Though he could easily have been in earnest.

Yeah, I think that was the last comment that could be taken in any way negative. Since then he has been nothing but encouraging about staying.

BTW, I agree with your theory about the two actors goals Bev.

Another observation is that they have been exponentially aging JP over the last season so that now it is almost difficult to see him as the younger brother. The dynamic is different than in the early seasons. When the show started I thought of Sam as a boy. Now I am all, damn Dean, who's your hot brother?

I maintain that if we invited him to our premiere or finale watching party, dude would show up.

Heh. One time Michael Muhney offered to call people during the Veronica Mars premiere parties. And he did. My friends freaked out.

In other words, I agree.
