How Do They Rise Up

May 25, 2011 10:38

Watched a couple episodes of Supernatural last night, to see what it was like. I quite enjoyed them. (Also, I am beginning to understand why so many people seem to prefer Dean. I will maintain to my dying day, however, that Sam is prettier.) Less enjoyable were the incredibly trippy Supernatural/Stargate/Sanctuary crossover apocafic dreams. I woke ( Read more... )

Also, apparently "girl pushups" are easier for girls because our centre of gravity is different, not because we're wusses who can't handle real pushups
WHAT
IS MY WHOLE LIFE A LIE D:

Also, when I started watching Supernatural, at first I liked Sam more; then a few episodes went by and I began to firmly prefer Dean. My two sisters who actually enjoy the show (and who have seen... more than a season and a half of it) claim that this was their precise reaction, too. THAT'S JUST HOW IT GOES.

HI PELLUCURE I KIND OF FORGOT MY LJ EXISTS. Belated comment replies, yay!

I KNOW, RIGHT? Why did they not tell us!

That is very interesting! Perhaps Sam is just the more appealing character in concept (clever, nerdy, kind, personable), but Dean turns out to be better in execution, at least in TVland?

HI SENTIENTCITIZEN

I think it might be that the first character whose POV you get is Sam, and he's got his own life and he's gonna be a lawyer (or whatever he was studying for i forget)! and then his kind of assholey older brother comes in all I WANT TO RUIN YOUR LIFE COME BACK TO LIVE ON THE ROAD LIKE A BUM WITH ME ON A MYSTERIOUS MISSION THAT IS NOT GOING TO LEAD TO LAWYERTIMES OR GIRLFRIENDTIMES OR ANY TIMES THAT EXIST INSIDE AN ACTUAL DWELLING PLACE

and then you watch more of it and, yeah, sucks for Sam! But Dean's been on the road with his dad THIS WHOLE TIME and working so hard at killin' all these monsters and doing his best and Sam keeps complaining and Dean is funnier and less funny-looking, so you swing towards liking him more! And it never really swings back towards Sam.

DEAN IS STILL FUNNY-LOOKING. Whilst Sam remains quite attractive. But otherwise I think you may have hit upon the truth here!

REALLY? I find they both have odd faces but Dean's is less so. It may be Sam's silly hair that does it for me, or maybe their ways of dressing? I do not really remember much, it has been an awfully long time since I even halfway cared about Supernatural.

Sophia is with you 100% on both their faces being odd but Dean's less so, but I just don't understand it! Sam is clearly more attractive. And he has excellent hair. *laughs* IDK, some weird quirk of my subconscious perhaps? I am still not entirely certain whether I care about Supernatural - I'm less than a season in and although I'm enjoying it, I would like to punch their father in the face and also the show-runners too, if they kill off and/or make evil even one more lady - but I have very definitive feelings about the relative attractiveness of Sam and Dean.
