In a not so secret way this is my favorite show on television. If you’re thinking it’s because of the stellar acting or fantastic storylines think again. Basically, Sam & Dean, the Winchester brothers (Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles respectively) are the best looking pieces of ass on television. I would like for everyone to pay extra special attention to Dean as he’s the sort of hot headed, know-it-all, party animal that makes my black heart melt.
Last season we left Sam & Dean as they allowed the yellow eyed demon to kill Sam, forcing Dean to make a pact with another demon to resurrect Sam in exchange for Dean’s mortal soul, which will be collected by said demon a year from the date of the agreement. And while all this chaos is going on they eventually manage to kill the yellow eyed demon even though they do not manage to stop the demon from opening up the gates of hell until it is too late. And then they had tea and crumpets and talked about baseball, WRONG.
This season Dean’s character expresses his most hedonistic side. Anytime Sam comes into contact with it he has to turn a blind eye as Dean reminds him that he has less than a year to live so he might as well enjoy the time he has left. I feel the same way Dean—I’m living in Los Angeles and I promise to show a dying man a great time, sigh. Anyways, Dean and Sam find it highly suspicious that nothing terrible has happened even though hell has come to earth. Guess what I find it suspicious also. I guess I should join their demon killing team and be awesome with them using a crossbow or something equally cool to slay monsters/demons/devils/vampires.
Fantasies aside, all sort of hell starts breaking loose in Oak Park, Il. On an unrelated note, I spent Thanksgiving in Oak Park last year, and if anything remotely interesting happened in that city—like hell coming to Earth—I bet the yuppie suburbanites wouldn’t even fucking notice. Amazing. Sam & Dean enlist the help of their friend and hunter Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver) to help them figure out why things are remotely quiet. While they’re trying to figure this out they run into a husband and wife hunting team. The boys think this hunting married couple are a bit careless, but decide to sit in the background and see what they’re up to. The couple ends up lucky that Sam and Dean are more than just handsome, sexy beasts because they make the mistake of going into a Demon bar to trail a suspected Demon—OH MAN, SAM & DEAN TO THE RESCUE. The problem being that Sam & Dean got there two seconds too late and the husband ends up dead from drinking a Drain-o like substance, yum!
After inspecting the demons further they realize they’re dealing with the seven deadly sins: Gluttony, Greed, Pride, Sloth, Lust, Envy & Wrath. The brothers do what they do best and capture and kill the demons, sending them back to hell. Well, at least that’s what Dean does. Sam on the other hand starts having problems with Pride & finds himself in trouble when some mysterious blond shows up, stabbing the demons in the neck with what can only be described as a magical blade and then runs off. I know, this is all making perfect sense, right? In the end, the boys send Pandora’s problems back where they belong. Sam continues to try and figure out how to get Dean from losing his mortal soul in the next year, and Dean plans to party and play the time out that he has left. Clearly this show is too much hotness for words! What do you all think?
Jim Beaver = Bobby Singer
