I'm a Total Dean Girl

I’ve made no secret in my life that I’m a big fan of Dean Winchester on Supernatural. I began watching the show because of the Gilmore Girls connection and the gaping hole left when the X-Files began to suck. I liked Sam (Dean from Gilmore Girls), and for the first few episodes, I enjoyed his desire to make ethical rules for hunting. Dean was coarse and somewhat belligerent.

But as the series went on and each actor grew into his character, I became smitten with Dean. Like all girls, I love a bad boy, especially on tv. (Logan Echolls anyone?) And hot as Jared Padalecki is, he will always seem too young to me. As Dean, Jensen Ackles looks much older than his years, and something about him just floats my boat. It is interesting to see the difference in his facial features and demeanor when he is Dean and when he is Jensen. He strips off about 10 years when he is off camera.

I’m really looking forward to tonight’s episode where we (I hope) get a better idea of Dean’s time in hell and possibly a Dean sex scene. His sex scenes only happen off-screen, so this could be our only chance.

Jumping out of the shallow end, at least until 9pm tonight.

Edited to add: Here is a fun preview of tonight’s episode: http://www.tvshowsaddict.com/supernatural-season-4-episode-10-heaven-and-hell-preview/
