“Supernatural” is So Gay (In My Dreams Anyway)

Brent, this line: "Two hot men who deeply love each other trying hard to work out their conflicts so that they can stay together?" That sums it all up right there. And it doesn't hurt that Jensen and Jared seem to be as comfortable together off screen as on. Thanks for the fun piece.

Thank you for extolling your love for Supernatural, you have given me the confidence to publicly admit that I also love this show, in fact it's the only show on TV right now that I won't miss.  Something I've neither told friends or co-workers out of fear that I may lose my title as "biggest snob". 

And you are absolutely right - this fourth season has been a real kicker, a deconstructionists mind-f*ck, tearing apart Judea-Christian beliefs on who represents good and who represents evil.  The massacre of the angels was unbelievable, a splash in the face that all sides resort to ruthless means when trying to achieve dominance.     

I only hope that Supernatural does not fall into the trap of Lost and X-Files, and gets muddled in its own mythology.    

 

 

I could give a "take it or leave it" attitude with this show. True that the show doesn't bend to cliched gay panic jokes and such, but that doesn't stop it from being cliched in other ways. I can't put my finger on particular scenes, but when I did give it a chance, it left me cold. Maybe since the con-artist thing has been done so many times. Besides, two hots guys that only do chicks gets old after a while. Maybe if one of them was bisexual, and the writing was a little bit better, I might give this show another shot.

I'm surprised you left out the whole "groped by an angel" angle. Dean and Castiel have been getting closer and closer ever since the angel "gripped him tight and pulled him from perdition". Who knows? Maybe they'll go there in season 5. Or at least some recognition of unrequited love/infatuation on Castiel's side.

Although this isn't the first time you've shown some love for Supernatural, this article compelled me to finally register so I could also show some love for this spectacular show.

I've been a fan of the show since it first aired back in 2005. While I didn't know much about Jared, I've always appreciated Jensen's other roles prior to Supernatural (Days of Our Lives, Dark Angel, Smallville), so when I came to realize he was going to be on this new show called Supernatural, I knew I had to check it out.

While the stories themselves are great in and of themselves, it's the relationship between the 2 brothers that makes it even more compelling to watch. It's obvious from watching the show (and even behind-the-scenes footage on the DVD's and YouTube) that Jensen and Jared have great chemistry together and make the relationship so believable. The fact that they do not shy away from (occasional) gay content makes me appreciate them and the show even more.

And just when you think it can't get any better, they outdo themselves in Season 4 by not only adding a new recurring character of Castiel (heavenly indeed!), they pit Sam and Dean against each other. And if that isn't enough to make one giddy (who, me?), there are even rumblings of a possible Season 6 (keeping fingers crossed.)

And for the record, I was quite pleased to see both Jensen and Jared in the top 20. You can be sure I did my part in voting for both of them. Although due to a small oversight, I completely missed out on voting for Misha Collins and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but was thrilled to see them on the top 100!

I realize this got a little longer that I had planned. Hopefully no one will mind! ;)

I watched a few episodes on and off for the first three seasons even though it followed Smallville one of my favorite shows. I think it was because there was another show on another channel that I used to watch, but for the life of me can't remember the name. I've watched it this season and have been drawn in. If Hulu ever puts this on I'll watch it from the beginning. The thing that I love is that it has that Buffy attitude where things can be serious but they also can be funny. I love those moments as they are few and far between on other shows.

We've certainly come a long way since the time when I used to mention this show and the only repsonse I'd get was, "So what's gay about that?" For those of you who can't get enough of the boys, Tina Charles posts a weekly blog at TVguide.com. And as for what the boys get up to when the cameras arent't rolling, here's a hint from YouTube (I've posted this before, but it's priceless): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9vWKpQr22A

 

"The mountain has wings."

I hate to be the one to say it, but I've been watching Supernatural since season one and this season has been absolutely awful. It's committed the worst sin a television show can, making me completely indifferent to what happens. In season one I desperately cared what happened to the boys, in season two the finale left me feeling satisfied and damn pleased, but season three started slipping and this season I honestly don't care what happens.

I had no idea how tall Jared is, 6'4" Jensen Ackles is 6' but I'd always thought he was not particularly tall because he was so much shorter than Jared P. and I only every see them together.

When I saw them on this rWB Red carpet thingy I was shocked at how big they both are. Crazy. I'm definitely a new fan of the show.

Thanks for the great column. They are a wonderful team to watch on and off the screen.

I had discounted this show after watching several episodes during the first season. The 1st and 3rd seasons have been on sale at Target for $20 each, so I picked those up and the 2nd and started watching, just because I had heard the show had gotten better. I'm so glad that I did, because although not every episode is all that great, there's some solid, entertaining TV throughout. I watched four seasons in about 2 weeks or less. Certainly, it's not for everyone, but as a horror fan that loves looking at Sam, Dean, and their car, I've really enjoyed it. I do feel that it has become increasingly better on average each season. I can't wait for the finale tonight.

I love Supernatural! It's such a great show! Good scripts and good acting.

My favorite episode was the episode with the "slash fic" thing.. LOL. The episode was great, so emotional, sad and funny.. I LOL'ed when they adressed the slash fics. That was one of the funniest moments during the whole series. The sad moment was when that writer said to Sam "Drinking blod Sam, you gotta know that's wrong", or something to that exctent, I chocked up when he said that.

This season has been great, and I can't wait to see what happens in the season finale.

Dean and his angel are so gay for each other. That's the highlight of a rather predictable finale.
