Spuddy Buddies

tv series of the month, or the year

I love Supernatural. I think I already expressed my love for the Winchesters. But here are my favorite characters, starting with the one I like the most.

Castiel is my favorite. He's such a mild-tempered person, pretty much like Boyd Crowder (my favorite character from Justified). The constant frown on his face is probably the only expression he makes in season 4 but it only makes him more mysterious and serious. That tie is super adorable too. I don't think he would've looked good without that tie. And the light brown trench coat. I like the fact that he doesn't display many emotions because it gets the SPN fans (like me) all excited and fan-girly when he cracks a smile or something like that. I don't think anyone could've been a better Castiel than Misha Collins. He says that he based his character on his younger brother who "has this way of, very calmly, just staring into someone's eyes" making a person feel "like he can get into your soul." Wow, I think that's pretty interesting. The idea of someone intimidating another with silence is just... wow. FYI, I cheer when I see Misha's name on the credits at the starting (and we are currently watching season 4). It's like a promise that the episode will be a good one.

And we have Dean Winchester next. I can't tell you why I love him, because describing him would have to include a few foul words, for example, he is a kicka** character. His tough swagger and mesmerizing green eyes are simply amazing. And he's a ladies' man. Also, he's a good guy, unlike Sam who is the complete opposite in the plot of season 5 or 6 I think. He's arrogant and brave, but he can be emotional and caring. Jensen Ackles' character is definitely something special and different. 'Nuff said.

Then there's Bobby Singer. Pretty much like a father to the Winchester boys after John. He's quick, intelligent and has an amazing amount of knowledge about supernatural things. He's also the guy who saves Dean and Sam when both of them get into trouble. Without Bobby, there wouldn't be much of storyline because the boys would be on their own and they obviously need someone to save their a**es sooner or later. Bobby is a truly aspiring character and I'm glad he's with the Winchesters until season 6 and I hope he will be forever in the series.

This 1967 Chevy Impala isn't a character but plays an important role to Dean -- the car Dean convinced his father to buy. It's Dean's prized possession and I didn't quite like it when Sam started to drive his car and used an iPod as the radio and everything in season 4. Anyways, this vintage car is always shiny and super gorgeous which makes me love it even more. I never even realized that I had a thing for vintage cars until recently!

And how can I forget Papa Winchester? Jeffrey Dean Morgan's face makes me laugh, ever since I watched The Losers (eight times). His character was the perfect father figure - self-sacrificing, loving, serious and most importantly, the man who raised his sons to be hunters. I thought that John disappeared too quickly though. It was just sad but I guess the critics want the story to be centered on the two brothers. I still say they should let John have a special appearance soon.

Finally, Sam Winchester. I used to think that Sam was more thoughtful and the nicer of the two but as the plot became more complicated, that nice guy Sam became twisted and bad. He was and still is naive. His brotherly love for Dean faded away (and so did my love for him!) and he usually gets himself into these horrible (and rather explicit, I might add) relationships with the wrong women. Ugh. What a downer. He also needs a haircut badly because he looks like he's aging with that hair parted in the middle. Where did the bangs and boyish looks go?

Jo Harvelle is also kinda cute and perfect for Dean but she didn't make it past season 5. Oh well. I liked her because she was tough and had chemistry with Dean.

Don't you just love Supernatural? Because I do.
