Hee, thanks for stopping by my LJ and ramble. As you can see, I ramble too.
Regarding my nitpick, I still think the scene was brilliantly written, and well timed for the pace of the story. This is what Supernatural does well, its ability to infuse oddball humor amidst horror and fucked up situations. But I think Jared stepped out of his character for a brief second and was assessing the scene from the audience POV instead of acting in the scene. What I saw wasn't a simple tension relieve smile on his face, it was a barely suppressed amusement that reached all the way to his eyes. Even if Sam wasn't feeling horrible to begin with, I don't think he would find it funny when someone just clobbered his head hard with a plunger. This was a blink you'll miss moment in the episode. Most viewers wouldn't even notice it. But then again a few like me did. Truthfully I think Jared had improved so much since season one. If this was back then, I would shrug it off because I didn't expect much from him. But now he is a more formidable actor, and I have begun watching for subtext and nuance in his acting.
Awww, I *love* Dean-ism! Especially the snarky ones. I see Dean's boyishness as one of the facet that made up Dean's complex psyche. But that's just me.
It's true Supernatural is filled with gorgeous looking people. Although it never pretended it's a realistic show. Still, I would've loved to see an everyday looking woman on the show who actually has a line or two.
