hells_half_acre1. Deangirl or Samgirl?
Yes.
2. Casgirl, yes or no?
Castiel is a very interesting character and they've done interesting things with him. I will say this though: I do not get along intellectually with a portion of the Casgirl-fandom. I try not to have it influence my affection for the character.
3. Favorite season?
I'd probably have to say S4. It was the first one that I watched live with the rest of you. S3 actually kind of pissed me off, and I was really worried that I was going to lose interest in the show completely - than S4 hit and it was phenomenal, so I got a livejournal account.
4. Favorite episode(s) from your favorite season?
On the Head of a Pin was a masterwork, in my opinion.
5. Season you're most likely to re-watch?
Any of them.
6. Season you hate the most?
S3 - and it's not because of the writing or the acting. It's because you can so clearly see that they're bending their artistic vision to the desires of the network...and ugh. The colours. The wedged in women....the fact that I really didn't like the S3 Ruby.
7. Favorite episode of the current season?
Death's Door.
8. Least favorite episode from the current season?
Swap Meat. Oh...right, sorry, yeah, I'm still not over that one. Uh...yeah, I got nothing. Ask me again after I've rewatched it.
9. Favorite angel (besides Cas)?
Although Anna has one of my favourite lines of all time, I'm going to go ahead and say Gabriel.
10. Least favorite angel?
Uriel, but only because I was supposed to not like him...which means I should probably say Zachariah and Lucifer too.
11. Favorite demon?
Ruby2.0 ....I'd say Crowley, but until we see his eyes, there's always a possibility that he isn't a demon. Also, I just really like S4 Ruby, you guys. She was good at her job.
12. Least favorite demon?
Ruby1.0 ...she was a bit too stereotypical for me and for some reason her every movement grated on my every nerve. I mean, she was an effective demon...but I'm really glad they took the character in a slightly different direction in S4.
13. Favorite one-episode character?
Corbett...many others.
14. Sam's hair looked best in which season?
S4, I guess. I especially liked it in Sex and Violence.
14.5 Dean's hair looked best in which season?
S1 - I liked the slightly longer look.
15. If the show would have ended the way Kripke wanted it to, with Sam and Dean battling each other and jumping into the hole together (and God might show mercy on them, idk), would you have preferred that?
OBJECTION! LEADING THE WITNESS WITH FALSE INFORMATION! If you could enter into court evidence of your source for this information, only then can you ask this question.
I would not like that ending because it was written in the minds of fans who make assumptions. I prefer endings written by the writers.
Personally, I absolutely love the way Swan Song ended. It was awesome and horrifically tragic...but ultimately a beautiful tale of love and redemption.
16. Best cast character throughout the whole show?
I'd say casting Misha as Castiel and Mark P as Lucifer. Mainly because I know that Mark P auditioned for Castiel, and I'm really glad that they didn't choose him. Mainly because...and this is going to sound mean of me...I don't find Mark P attractive at all. He kind of...gives me the creeps. So, yeah...mind you, I think I've only ever seen him in creepy roles, so maybe that has something to do with it...but seriously, he does creepy far too well. I think if he had been Castiel, then they would have stuck with their original plan and offed Cas after three or so episodes...which, you know, might actually have been a good thing, depending who you ask. So, hmm...I'll change my answer to...
Mark Sheppard as Crowley.
17. Do you think Chuck is God?
I think that's best left ambiguous. He was a prophet who ascended to heaven after his work was done...whether or not he was at one time inhabited by the divine is inconsequential...if God is all powerful, then we could, each one of us, be inhabited by the divine at any given moment. So....yeah, my answer is Jaein.
18. Who's a hotter psychic, Patrica Arquette, Jennifer Love Hewitt or Sam?
Sam.
19. Freedom or Peace?
Freace. Preedom.
20. Dimples, freckles, eye-crinkles, bowlegs, bangs, woobie frowns or jaw clinches?
The span of skin directly above the hip.
21. Favorite kind of monster?
Shapeshifters are cool.
22. Weapon of choice?
Crossbow! Why do we only get this marvelous instrument of death once?!!?
23. Favorite death?
Favourite? Uh...Most Impactfull: Sam's death in AHBL. Coolest: Dean's death in NRFTW. Most abrupt: Sam in Dark Side of the Moon. Most Heartwrenching: Dean's first death in Mystery Spot (it's all in Jensen's performance with this one. Oh god, he died so realistically.) Most "I feel a general sense of dread": Bobby. Coolest Slow-Mo Shot: John.
24. Favorite minor character's death?
Again, favourite? Uh, I guess...Ruby? Does she count as a minor character? How minor is minor? I like the way Sam killed Alistair too.
25. Pre-apocalyptic, apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic?
Acapulco.
26. Scariest episode?
I can't watch that immortal dude trying to steal Sam's eye. I just can't do it.
27. Best song that mattered for a scene? (you can't choose Carry on Wayward Son)
Well, Bad Moon Rising is pretty awesome...but the one I always liked the best was Rooster at the end of Folsom Prison Blues.
28. Best and worst young versions of characters?
I'm not going to name worsts...but it goes without saying that Colin Ford is an example of perfect casting. I liked Ridge Canipe as Dean.
29. Characters I ship like crazy?
Dean/Books. Sam/Anger. Dean/Leather Duster from Frontierland. Sam/Red.
30. Favorite female character?
Ellen.
31. Best and worst season intro and finale?
It's all good.
And there you go!

Date: 2012-04-12 07:11 am (UTC)I remember Jeremey Carver sayigngthat he wrote 4.03 before he'd seen any of Misha as Cas, so intriguiing as to how 1) mark P would've played the same lines int he 1st eps at least 2) hiow maybe the role/writing would've changed once the writers (and fans) had seen him. I need to rewatch him as Nick to get a sense of MArk P playing more vulnerable. We know he does BAMF well!
I also agrre that I hadn't ehard that was kripke's version of the finale - I know elements of it were there but yeah Objection your honor!

I get goosebumps watching it. I'm like, no no no!! LOL
22. Weapon of choice?

When did they use this? How have I forgotten this moment??
Where do you get this? And can I steal it??

Date: 2012-04-12 07:32 am (UTC)That being said, for all the times I am diplomatic, I have times when I am horribly blunt.
But I agree, there are other portions of fandom that I also do not get along with intellectually. :)
I think by On the Head of a Pin, they were writing for Misha's Cas...so, yeah, the episode might have been extremely different had Mark P stepped into the role...since, OTHOAP was such a bold turning point for all characters.
I should really watch Mark P in something where he's not creepy. I hear he's a nice dude in Lost (or comes across as nice?) but I never took to that show.

Date: 2012-04-12 04:33 pm (UTC)Yay for Uriel! He was very good at being antagonistic. It's one of those things...I mean, I dislike him because I'm supposed to dislike him. It's like Meg. Every time she comes on screen, I have the exact same reaction as Dean - but that just means they've written the character well, doesn't it? :P

Date: 2012-04-12 04:36 pm (UTC)I always excuse it by picturing those types of fans as 15 year-olds who don't yet know what love is or what it means to be fully realized character.

Date: 2012-04-12 04:52 pm (UTC)Well, you are in the minority with your Cas opinion...though sometimes I kind of wonder what the show would be like if Castiel wasn't a fan favourite. He indirectly drove so much of the story since S5, I wonder where they would have gone if Cas had disappeared with the other angels.
I like him fine though - like I said, it's just some of the fandom around him that kind of pisses me off and sometimes makes me wish that he'd die...just because then I would laugh gleefully at the tears and outrage. But, uh, yeah, that's obviously the part of me that is a bit mean. :P
no subject
Date: 2012-04-12 05:00 pm (UTC)I am in the minority, I guess, even though I'm not alone. I know plenty of others that don't like him either.
I don't like him, and the majority of his fans I don't have a problem with, except for the super extreme Castiel girls and the Destiel shippers convinced their ship is canon. *eyeroll* Hey, if he was killed off (crossed fingers, pleasepleaseplease) I would be laughing my head off at the sobbing fangirls... ^^;

no subject
Date: 2012-04-12 05:31 pm (UTC)Anyone who thinks any non canon ship on the show drives me mad. I read plenty of slash myself, but I know it's just fanfiction and not canon. They can write what they like, but when they start insisting it's really in the show, that's when I have a problem.
no subject
Date: 2012-04-12 05:32 pm (UTC)That's why I didn't like Ruby1, because I had the exact same reaction to her as I did to Meg...whereas with Ruby2, I had more of the reaction that I think they were going for...well, up until On the Head of a Pin, where I was like "Damn! She really has been evil this whole time! Oh no!"

Date: 2012-04-12 06:26 pm (UTC)I sometimes cruise another RPS fandom, where I don't know the actors as well - and when you don't know the actors that well, it's actually fairly easy to think that the RPS might be real...and then you sort of snap out of it and realize that you are being crazy. :P (Of course, then I have to look up that the actors are dating people, because I start worrying that they're lonely...and then I go to sleep because it's 3am and my crazy is showing.)

Date: 2012-04-14 02:20 pm (UTC)I also think that a few (or even a bunch) of vocal people online doesn't mean that "everyone" thinks a character is The Greatest Thing Eveah. It just means that they're loud and manage to catch attention and shout down people who don't agree with them.
