Yeah, I know, it just really annoyed me. I think some others said it better. This show is trying to rewrite history and act like John was some non-existent father while Bobby was always there. That scene with him playing baseball with Dean? Really? I was unconvinced.
talk about lack of inner continuity
That's all this show ever does. And again the daddy issues really pissed me off. Hopefully he's gone for good. With this show you never know.
I do think Jensen has given a few Emmy-worthy perfomances
I do too! I'd say though, I'd have given him one based on season 2. In "The End" I liked the dual acting but the tone of his voice was really irritating, he was shouting his lines is some gravelly Batman voice and it felt like he was channelling Castiel a bit and I wasn't feeling it. My point was that nothing he's done in the last three years is worthy of an Emmy and I'm tired of hearing about it.
a non-viewer watching this epp with us thought he wasn't a good actor based on this epp...
Really? That's a shame. I think he's really good at conveying Dean's emotions but in the episode, I don't know what Dean was really doing. His confrontation with Dick Roman was weird, maybe the writing or something but it didn't flow well for me, and when an actor is doing the same thing over and over again it can easily be mistaken for bad acting.
To cut a long story short, he needs to cut SPN loose and do something that actually challenges him. Same for Jared, I think they've both gotten a little lazy with their characters this season - Jensen especially because Dean has been the same for ages. I do think that Jared is unfairly portrayed as the weaker actor because Sam is probably the most diverse character ever, he's always changing and Jared has to show that as well as keep something in it that let's us know that he's still Sam. But yeah.
Eh, this show is pretty good with continuity compared to a lot of other ones, lol, you better never go anywhere NEAR Merlin! :p ;) IDK, they definitely rag on John more on later seasons, but they began implying he was absent in s1 with the flashbacks, tbh, when he's always off hunting and leaving the boys alone...*shrug*

IA that he did some great work in s2, especially in 2x22 with the deathbed speech, but I also thought he was just as good in 5x04, voice aside. It's really hard to act off of nothing, supposedly, and to have to remember twice as many lines, and the way he managed to distinguish the characters even though they looked exactly the same pretty much, it's pretty impressive. *shrug* They were both Dean, but one was unmistakably older and harder.
And heh I figured you'd feel that way about the news! :p

Rambling here, LOL. I'm annoyed about Misha.
