Basically, just yes to everything said! As to the shy thing, it just amazes me to think a shy person can do the job he does. But, then, I have to remind myself that MY shyness is normal shyness multiplied by 100. Confession: I guess it's more accurately social phobia, only without the panic attacks, etc. The thing is, once I get to know someone (if they're a likeable person, of course!) and get comfortable around them, I'm just fine! And, as you can probably guess by my epic posts, can even talk your ear off (Not getting to talk much, I always have a huge conversational build-up!)! It's the encountering-meeting-getting-to-know you parts that are horrible. And being the center of attention?! NOOOO. Freaks me out!

And if Jensen is really shy, I'm actually almost a tad angry with him! What the HELL does this guy have to be shy ABOUT?! He's talented, gorgeous, seems like a good person, seems to have had a charmed life. He's got the world by the tail, he can have pretty much whatever and whoever he wants! Shyness usually comes from insecurities, right? I'm "shy" for very good reasons! If I had what he has, I wouldn't be a bit shy! I'd be just like Jared (which, believe it or not, I started out that way! Until I was about 3, Mom was actually scared I'd get kidnapped cuz I'd walk right up to strangers and start blabbin'! I even learned to talk early!)! I AM like Jared, when you get to know me! In a lot of ways, anyway! Definitely the goofy way! (Um, but not in the fart-on-purpose-in-public way! LOL) And talkative way, for that matter! Jensen has nothing to be shy about! He has it all, he should just be struttin'! Very Happy

OK, and I admit, just like Jensen seems more relaxed, etc. around Jared (an extrovert) I'm the same way. I get more talkative, etc. when around an extrovert. I think it's a shy person thing; Agreed?

I get that about acting/shyness--not being "yourself" while acting. I do. But, as for me, I really REALLY wanted to try acting. (And singing. And dancing. And a bunch of other stuff. I took a couple of years of dance as a little kid. FUN!) In high school, I wanted to join the Drama Club SO bad, but I was TOO SHY to do it! I was the quiet, weird little outcast and the Drama Club was full of preps and other assorted popular kids, so I couldn't bring myself to do it! I've always regretted it, though. (Oddly enough, "preps" did occasionally befriend me a bit. I don't get it.) megeara (that was you, right?), you fainted while giving a speech?! Bless your heart! That never happened to me (although I felt like fainting!). But my cousins and aunt begged me to get up and sing a hymn with them at church when I was a teen, and my legs got so weak, I had to literally hold onto the piano to keep from falling, AND I started laughing uncontrollably (and, damn it, there was a cute guy in the audience!), I was THAT nervous! LOL! Needless to say, I never tried that again. Although, I guess I should've! So, OK, I'd organize a Shy Group for a convention, but . . . I'm too shy to do it! Har har! Too bad. The boys may have been amused to see a group of chicks peeking at them from behind plants. Wink

Husitka (your English is pretty damned good, actually. It's the hardest language to learn, right? It is a nutty language!), don't jinx us, girl! The movies can wait! There's time, he's young. The 10 years for Supernatural prayer is a prayer I share! (Wow, I'm a poet!)

And, I hate myself for this but: Regarding Jensen's looks, since SOME of you already went there, how annoying is it that even things that look bad on normal people (light under-eye bags, crows feet) look GOOD on him?! What the. . . ?! Now, how does he pull that off?! He is just freakin' annoying, I tell ya! Wink

Hope to be annoyed many more years. Razz

They look good on him because for some weird reason, he's aged BEAUTIFULLY. *swoons*

And yeah. The leaning on each other thing IS perfectly normal for a close friendship. I don't know why you guys think I'm implying something when I said I wasn't! Just because I talked about two really adorable guys who clearly love each other a LOT touching a lot more than straight guys usually do, doesn't mean anything! ... *koff* *smirk*

Ahem. Yes. Perfectly normal friends...

Anyway. I believe the conclusion to everything we've said so far on this thread is that Jensen is Brilliant. He's a fantastic actor, he's brought so much to his character and the show, and the show is for sure something Cookie's ridiculous friend should start watching.

What can I say? I'm a little sarcastic, and I have eyes...and a bit of a dirty mind.

I just had to jump in and say that, regarding the friend in this thread's title, he's actually quite a good guy. Besides being my buddy since 1997, he's also very generous. For instance, the Seasons 1 & 2 DVDs I have are courtesy of him. Not even X-mas or B-day gifts, either--just because. Very Happy

Those are just 2 of the many kind gifts he's given; just cuz he wants to. He's hung in there with me, being my buddy (which probably isn't easy!) all this time. He's even compliling a huge bunch of my favorite songs for me at the moment! He's a good guy; just not always good at appreciating good talent when he sees it, I guess! He STILL hasn't watched any more of the show!

Husitka, I don't know. Wasn't George Clooney well into his 30s at least when he got into movies? Look how well he's done! If the talent is there and the hard work is there, it can happen later. And I say 29 is damned young! Just my POV. Wow, I didn't know Eric said 5 years! Oh, well, that's about as good as we can hope for with the way TV is these days. Truth be told, we're pretty damned lucky we've gotten three seasons! It's not the kind of show that tends to do well, I guess. But there are shows that go on for about 10 years that stay great (and helped its actors launch movie careers, right?). I think Supernatural could, too, easily. But all I really hope for is that it never just disappears without wrapping things up. You know, a goodbye episode or glimpses of the future, etc. I don't want them to get cancelled while major things are up in the air. That would break my heart!

You know, they seem very responsive to and appreciative of the fans. I'd really like to think that they wouldn't leave us hanging in the wind w/o wrapping things up but . . . It's not always in their control. If they get cancelled w/o notice, what do they do? It would be nice to think that they'd film a "wrapping it up" episode to air on the internet if no where else. I know it's something I'd hope for but we fans don't always get that lucky.

I, for one, will be crossing my fingers and hoping for ten seasons - whether or not that's realistic!!!! Mr. Green

Exactly. It would be nice if they could make a goodbye episode on their own, if they got cancelled early. I've never heard of that being done, though. I'm guessing that's because of the money. The network funds these shows, I guess, so when they're cancelled, no more money to shoot an ep. with. Maybe all the Supernatural folks involved would do it out of their own pockets out of the love of the show and its fans. Yeah, right! Laughing

Oh, well. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that it gets to live out it's life, OK?

Well "Kidnapped" and "Dejavu" had their episodes available online. Kidnapped they did a "wrap up" show that aired online. It didn't wrap things up very well but at least they made the attempt.

I'm hopeful (okay, being unrealistic again) that because we hear how much everyone is committed to the show and how close everyone is, they would do some kind of wrap up, something, anything!

Not that it will be necessary because it will go on for ten years like SG-1 did!!!! Twice as long as Kripke said - actually, I think what he said is that they had the story mapped out for five years. Doesn't mean they couldn't go ten!!

Oh! And the "final" episode could have a much "maturer" Sammy and Dean. Maybe Sammy played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Big Bad John) and Dean could be played by John Schneider (Papa Kent). I tell ya', Papa Kent and Big Bad John - charter members of the "hot dead dads" club - together in one show? Might be a really bad idea because my ovaries would probably explode from the excitement of the two of them in one scene together.

Okay - I'm off to daydream . . .

Cookie, I was just teasing about your friend. Wink

I figured that if he was your friend, he was probably a good guy.

I think you're right as far as the movie thing goes, too. Clooney's career definitely took off a bit later. Jensen certainly has the talent and level of committment required to do well in cinema. The fact that he truly appreciates it and respects his art-form will hopefully take him far.

As for my jokes about Jared and Jensen above, I just want you all to know I'm just kidding. I'm not a tin-hat who honestly believes that they're more than really good friends. It's very refreshing to see two young straight guys who care so much about each other and are comfortable enough around each other (and with themselves) to be that openly affectionate in public. Especially in their business.
Of course, if one day they actually did drop a bomb on our heads and come out, good for them. I really don't think their personal lives are much of our business, to be honest. (Sorry, I am so responding to the wankery that's been going on about the Jared/Sandy and Jensen/Daneel thing lately.) Whatever happens in their bedrooms is their business. And it would also be really adorable.

Finally, yeah. They ARE very appreciative of their fans. I want everyone to remember this. Jensen, Jared and the Execs/Writers of the show have proven time and again that they really love their fanbase. Dammit, they change their PLOTLINES for us because we rail against change. They deserve our support and respect.

That said, please go to the thread "Don't be hatin' on Jen!" in "General Show Discussion". I need to rant. *huffs*
