Supernatural ate my brain
Okay, this is it. I’m gonna have to start a blog about TV shows, because I need to get that out. I love watching shows with my brother, but there’s a problem about that: I can’t really go on about how hot certain actors look or how many hints there are (not even for hetero pairings... I guess guys could care less about things like that).
With what I’m about to ramble about now, I’m behind for once - with most shows I’m up to date, but we only started to watch Supernatural some weeks ago and we’re slowly catching up. We’re now coming close to the end of season five. And we just watched 5x18, the famous 100th episode.
First, let me start off with some words about Cas. When he first appeared, I really didn’t care about him. Like, at all. Yeah, he was a new character, an angel, okay, something new… but I didn’t get the obsession of the fans, much less Dean/Cas shippers (I didn’t really get what they were working with).
That changed towards the end of season four (maybe his being rebellious helped), and finally the turnaround was pretty much the Jimmy episode. I finally realized then that Misha Collins is a brilliant actor. How differently he played Jimmy and Castiel - wow. There are no words. And when he was back to being Castiel (suddenly I so hoped that he was going to stay, and continue using Jimmy as his vessel), I just frickin’ fell in love with him. By now it’s gotten really bad. I miss him whenever he’s not in a scene, and I especially love scenes with him and Dean. I can’t believe I never noticed before how hot the guy was. He doesn’t even need to do or say much (though that deep, grumpy voice of his really helps - how can anybody have a sexy voice like that?!), but those intense looks (mainly those directed at Dean)… gosh. I could watch the “Well Cas, not for nothing, but the last person who looked at me like that… I got laid” scene over and over again. The first time it was the fan service that got me (you have to love the writers for that), but when I watched it again, it was just Cas’ look. Seriously. The eyes. The slight squinting. (And of course, Jensen Ackles. Do I really have to say much about him? The reaction to Cas’s look. The wink. Hell.)
I’m pretty sure I’m becoming a Dean/Cas shipper now (that started about the same time I started to really like Cas). Well, I don’t even know what that means for me - I’m certainly not going to write fanfiction, I’m probably not even going to read any - though I’ll have to catch up with the show before I can tell for sure, the main reason I’m not looking for fanfiction now is because I’m afraid I would spoil myself, especially because I’m not sure what’s going to happen to Cas, like everyone else was the closer the end of season five came. (Hell - he just has to survive.)
Okay, I’m totally ashamed of myself for writing so fangirly, but it’s just… the episode triggered it, you can’t deny that. I usually prefer a profound and rational character analysis over random squeeing. I guess that’s what I’m going to do the next time.
