SPN meme
Meme because, well, why not? Flicked from de_nugis.
There are references to recent s7 episodes in my answers, so beware.
1. Deangirl or Samgirl?
Sam. I'm not even going to pretend that I'm bi-bro. That said, however, I do love Dean--it's kinda impossible to love one without loving the other. Sam, though--Sam's ambition and drive and big, dewey eyes pulled me in right from episode 1, and I have loved seeing him fall and rise and grow and just--keep fighting, no matter what. Sam Winchester is magnificent. The, uh, fine packaging also helps.
2. Casgirl, yes or no?
No. I've been indifferent towards him, mostly. From a neutral standpoint, I like his character arc, and his fall in s6 made for fascinating storytelling. But I've never been invested in him as a character.
3. Favorite season?
A tie between s2 and s4, I think. s2 is so consistent in quality--there's no episode I can pull out and say I dislike. s4 is the dramatic high-point for the show. It has some of the best storytelling that we've gotten from Show, and the best season-long story-arc. The fact that s4 is painful to go back to and watch again is a testament to how well it did its job, imo. Can you tell I have ~all of the feelings~ for s4? I fucking love that season.
4. Favorite episode(s) from your favorite season?
s2? Toss-up between Nightshifter and All Hell Breaks Loose p1. From s4, without a doubt, When the Levee Breaks. But my all time SPN favourite, Mystery Spot, is from neither of these seasons. So. Y'know. *shrugs*
5. Season you're most likely to re-watch?
I haven't done season rewatches, and I rarely, rarely rewatch whole episodes--just my favourite snippets whenever it catches my fancy. I've been rewatching scenes from early s6 a lot lately. Mmmm, Robo!Sam. <33333
6. Season you hate the most?
s1, I think. I know that it's nostalgic to go back to s1 now--young!boys, Simpler Times and all that--but I distinctly remember feeling unimpressed with a lot of s1 way back when I was first watching it. If it hadn't been for SamnDean and the last four stellar episodes, I'd've dropped Show long ago and not looked back.
7. Favorite episode of the current season?
Aaagh. Toss up between Hello, Cruel World and Repo Man. So hard to choose between them!
8. Least favorite episode from the current season?
This season's had its share of stinkers, but none was worse than Season 7, It's Time For A Wedding!, aka The Episode That Does Not Exist. Also: Defending Your Life and Shut up, Dr. Phil were pretty goddamn terrible.
9. Favorite angel (besides Cas)?
Oooh, can I say Lucifer? Can I? Aside from him, aaagh, no. I don't really like any of SPN's angels. Zachariah, maybe?
10. Least favorite angel?
I have to be honest and say: Anna. She was brilliant before she was revealed to be a fallen angel, after which... her characterisation fell flat. It's just, agh. I really don't care for the angels on this show, people. I hated it when they revealed the Trickster to be Gabriel.
11. Favorite demon?
Tough one! It's hard to choose between Azazel, Ruby, Crowley and Meg, but Azazel wins by a slender margin. Yellow Eyes is still my favourite villain on the show.
12. Least favorite demon?
Stunt Demon #3. They do tend to get repetitive.
13. Favorite one-episode character?
Missouri! (though I hope they can bring her back at some point) Also: can I say Madison? Because I love Madison.
14. Sam's hair looked best in which season?
s4. It was long, but also clean-cut, which I really appreciated. A close second is his s7 hair, which is at the other extreme, but no less beautiful.
15. If the show would have ended the way Kripke wanted it to, with Sam and Dean battling each other and jumping into the hole together (and God might show mercy on them, idk), would you have preferred that?
I don't think I like the idea of Sam and Dean jumping into the pit together. The show ending with 5.22, however--I think, from a storytelling point of view, that ending was perfect. Also, really freakin' depressing, but that's Supernatural for you.
16. Best cast character throughout the whole show?
Um. Colin Ford as young!Sam? I also really, really like Rachel Miner as Meg.
17. Do you think Chuck is God?
Nope. Not at all.
18. Who's a hotter psychic, Patrica Arquette, Jennifer Love Hewitt or Sam?
Saaaam.
19. Freedom or Peace?
Freedom!
20. Dimples, freckles, eye-crinkles, bowlegs, bangs, woobie frowns or jaw clinches?
That long vein that runs up Sam's arm, almost up to his bicep. ... What.
21. Favorite kind of monster?
Demons, closely followed by the Leviathans.
22. Weapon of choice?
Ruby's ~knife~. One of my more idle wishes for Show is for backstory on that knife. Who made it? Is it one of its kind? How did Ruby get hold of it?
23. Favorite death?
Sam's death at the end of All Hell Breaks Loose p1. Perfectly staged, written and acted, and GOD. I still cry when I watch that scene, even after seven seasons of seeing them repeatedly dying and coming back to life.
24. Favorite minor character's death?
Ellen and Jo. There's a reason I've watched Abandon All Hope only once, and it's not because it's a bad episode. I also liked Pamela's death scene.
25. Pre-apocalyptic, apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic?
Apocalyptic. The beauty lies in the act of destruction.
26. Scariest episode?
Bloody Mary. Also: Time is on my side, because I have a mortal fear of going under the surgeon's knife. Aaaand the enucleation spoon was this close to Sam's eye, people! This close!
27. Best song that mattered for a scene? (you can't choose Carry on Wayward Son)
"Renegade" from the end of Nightshifter, hands down. Also "Silent Lucidity" from that scene in Heart.
28. Best and worst young versions of characters?
Colin Ford is fantastic as young!Sam. I'm also rather fond of Amy Gumenick as young!Mary. However, neither Canipe nor Kelly worked as young!Dean for me, and I definitely couldn't see Cohen's John growing up into JDM's John.
29. Characters I ship like crazy?
Sam/Ruby, always. s4!Ruby in particular. My fascination for this pairing is endless--it's so twisted and multi-faceted. I also love Sam/Jess, am slowly but surely starting to fall for Sam/Dean, and have the tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniest soft corner for Sam/Cas (shh!). I loathe Dean/Castiel, but I don't really care whom Dean ends up with otherwise. :)
30. Favorite female character?
Ruby. And Ellen. Oh, and Gwen Campbell.
31. Best and worst season intro and finale?
Best season intro? For me, it's still the Pilot, I may not like much of s1, but the quality of the pilot is such that it can easily slot into later seasons. Best season finale has got to be 5.22: Swan Song. GUTTING.
Worst intro, beyond any doubt, is The Magnificent Seven. Blech. Worst finale? Well, that's hard, because I adore the hell out of all six of them. Hmmm. The Man Who Knew Too Much, maybe? I mean, outside of Sam's adventures in his head, the episode wasn't all that well put together.
