dcp, you have to enlarge the print to see the woman's pants.

Backstory: When Jensen Ackles was a young actor, he also modeled, and one of his more infamous shoots involved pants with a brick pattern. Jensen in brick pants photo -> [link]

In the tweet I linked last night, a woman had fabric printed up, with shots of Jensen in the brick pants.

She then had that fabric made into pants for herself, and wore them to her photo-op with Jensen Ackles at this weekend's Denver Supernatural convention. Here's a link to just her photo, rather than the tweet, scroll down to see her pants, and don't miss the expression on Jensen's face. He couldn't help but laugh. Convention photo: [link]

Oh, dear. Okay, thanks.

I confess, I did not recognize Jensen in either the recent photo or the old ones on the pants.

I still haven't watched even one episode of Walker.

And on top of the horror of a woman's completely senseless death, I'm sad for Jensen that his role in a historical Western is probably never going to make it to the screen.

I've been watching Walker, but in a meh kinda way. Last night I was just contemplating whether I wouldn't like to reclaim the space that the half dozen eps I haven't watched yet are taking up. We shall see.

I hadn't realized he was in it. That is rough.

Jim Beaver has started a recurring role on B Positive. So far the character is an ass, but I'm hoping they'll soften up the edges a bit as it goes on.

I think I'd be taking a hard pass on the Walker reboot even if JP hadn't been increasingly irking me in recent years.

Yeah, SPN got me initially because it was "horror," and then I fell in love with Sam and Dean. A show about a Texas Ranger is just not something that floats my boat.

Although I will admit, with guilt, that if it was Jensen doing the ranger, I'd probably have watched at least a few. Sorry, Jarpad.

I watched the first couple of episodes, but it was just too soon for me (and I thought JP looked rough, which made me think more about his recent behavior).

This is also true for me, so my "too soon" isn't even-handed.

As much as I love Jensen, I just can't watch The Boys for him. I just can't do violence right now. Or jump-scares or gore, or grimdark anything. My MiL used to watch My Three Sons reruns and I mocked her (not to her, to H). After the horrors she lived through in WWII and emigrating to the US, I understand why she didn't want shows to challenge her intellect or provoke a strong emotional response. I'm there right now. I'm too twitchy to watch more than fantasy Chinese history with subtitles. And house porn, the eternal house porn.

I tried to watch The Boys, even before Jensen was cast, just because it was Kripke, and it was too violent for me too, Beverly. I've also been avoiding grim stuff.

Ted Lasso (Apple TV) was a balm for me. Only Murders In the Building (Hulu) with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez turned out to fine. It's a murder mystery, but it's not heavy. It's really as much about how the three leads fill the gaps in each others lives.

I tried The Boys S1, too, and only got through maybe two episodes. I want to watch it, because I find the premise pretty interesting, but it was pretty grim. I don't know. I may just watch Jensen's episodes even if I don't know what's going on.

For me, watching anything but a few favorites -- Project Runway, GBBO, Riverdale for the sheer absurdity with really pretty people -- isn't working. I think it's a pandemic/general depression thing? I'm reading like crazy, though.
