So true about Jensen's acting. I think he elevated the character. From how things looked in the pilot and the first couple of episodes, I doubt Kripke had planned for Dean to be *so* layered and complex. I've never seen a man can be stoic even when he breaks down, yet Dean managed to be exactly that. I was stunned *breathless* at Dean's confession scene in Heaven and Hell.

Hehe, somewhere there gotta be a crack!Fic where Dean is chased by a legion of fangirls wanting to "cuddle" him; meanwhile a horrified Sam tried to get his brother away! ;)
