I have to inhale my tea in waffles and get my ass out the door in the next three minutes, but there are things to be said about tonight's SPN, like, right now

Ahaha, bring me all your reactions! And discussions! Oh this show! I actually have to go to work about 15 min after an episode is over and there's makeup to apply and clothes to choose, so reactions get sadly postponed. Otherwise I'd jump right in and pour out all these feelings.
Your SPN-related not-quite-alcoholism is totally an expression of sympathy for the characters. I put on my SPN shirt to watch :D
Speaking of wee Dean, I actually liked the fugly S1/S3 version. Didn't they use J2's real photos in "What Is And What Should Never Be"? Jensen looked pretty stupid. IDK, I got attached to my head canon of Dean being the goofy-looking kid that grew to be extremely handsome. I can see it how other kids started noticing him and him thinking, WTF? And then I can see him looking in the bathroom mirror in the morning and realizing eventually that he was growing into a fine piece of ass and going, Huh, I can work with that. I had this thought for a post wandering around my head for a while, about physical beauty in this show. You'd understand more than I do, what with context being your field of study. But beauty seems to serve as a plot device in movies and on TV. The character is good-looking so that he could get an equally good-looking woman. If he's ugly, it's also a plot device. With the show, though, beauty is an abomination: it serves no plot purpose. Not only do they not get hot permanent girlfriends - they get more and more isolated, and they can never get as close to anybody as they are to each other. And yet they will never hook up on screen. As far as their behavior goes, they could both look like baboons' asses and still be the same Sam and Dean Winchester. Now, I'm talking about the plot and the characters, not the actors and ratings. If that even made sense.
