I mean…he’s so…big.
He’s huge. He’s ginormous. He towers over everyone else. What is that like?
I’m not short. In fact, in some of my highest heels I can almost look Superman in the eye (and he’s not quite as big as JPad, but he’s still pretty tall.) I’d say I’m equidistantally used to both looking up at people and down. I can reach a lot of things on high shelves at the store. My jeans don’t usually drag on the ground. So, I’m not short, but I’m nowhere near HUGE.
But hey, how about Supernatural last night? OH MY FREAKING GLORY. Wow. Humor and Drama so expertly woven I was laughing one second and gasping the next. And Richard Speight, Jr.? Helllloooooo. Wow. I loved him as the Trickster before, but this new twist was so well-done, so perfectly circuitous…and he played it so well. I just have a whole new level of appreciation of him as an actor. And they lit him so beautifully, too — his eyes were so striking. Makes me want to look again at our church bulletin photo.
HAHA. I call it that because it looks like we’re posing for the church bulletin.
Anyway, I LOVED the episode last night. I loved where they’re going with it (I can put aside the slightly MarySue-ish tone of “you’re the only ones evarrrrr, it had to be youuuuuuuu! AND ONLY YOU!!!!) I loved the acting, I loved the humor, the tv stuff…
I loved the way Dean looked at Dr. Sexy. MANCRUSH. Add to that I actually live with Dr. Sexy who yes, did wear cowboy boots (and sometimes still does) and I got an extra kick out of it.
Gawd. Supernatural, you slay me. I wasn’t blown away by the first few episodes of the season but they just keep getting better and better.
And I’m sad, because there is only one first time. Only one first night of a new episode, and the anticipation, the not knowing what will happen. I’m going to miss it, and I weep internally at the thought of my life without new Supernatural. I WEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!

PS– And I wonder like…where does Jared buy his pants? How does he fit in a regular airline seat? Do his feet stick out over the end of the bed? How much food must he consume to maintain himself? If I stood next to him, would I even be able to jump up high enough to give him a high five?

It’s Tricksy!!! Or, well, Gabby now, huh? (laughs) You lucky goober.
Loved yesterday’s eppy so much.
I’d like to also state for the record that I am probably the height of Jared Padalecki’s shin. (snorts)

Not sure how tall Jared is but my hubby’s 6’4″ and the answers, in order, are pants are hard to find (Land’s End hems to a 36″ inseam), knees press into back of regular airline seat, feet hang over end of bed (but okay b/c usually too hot for covers, LOL) and surprisingly, not much food. Not sure on the high fives, though. I never tried that, but I’m probably too short (5’4″ in shoes). Could be amusing, though.

@Nancy: LOL his shin is pretty tall
@Anne: I’m almost 5’6″ and my husband is 6’2 or so, so there’s less distance between us than you and yours…and mine is pretty tall. I can always find him in a crowd.
But how tall is Jared? Six-five? Tall.

“Do his feet stick out over the end of the bed?”
I bet he’s got a California King sized bed.

Hi! Megan!
Jared is 6’4″ and I am 5’9″ in (flat) shoes. When I met him (it’s all kind of a dream now) he stood up and I felt “normal” and I usually feel like a giant because everyone I know seems to be 5’5″ or shorter except the men in my family and I don’t hang out with them.
I am staying surprisingly spoiler free this season due to work and moving but I still am enjoying the show as much as ever.You are correct – there is one ONE first time and it’s always a doozy!
I loved this episode so much I can’t even begin to pick a favorite moment – yet. Maybe after I watch it 10 or so times?

Tall…drooling over here! At 5 ft 10, I can’t wear heals or chance feeling like I belong in a circus. Well, unless I was next to Jared apparently!

JPad is sweet and wonderfully tall. Whats it like to be with a man tall enough to make you small even when you’re wearing heels? I feel small in flats but when I wear heels I tower above everyone and can even eyeball hubby whose about six-one. But I’d love to wear my heels and feel small, and petite and protected. Yes I’m an old fashioned girl:)

everyone: I have not yet had the honor of meeting Mr. P but when I do, I think I’ll try to wear really high heels.

It took my BFF & Godson but I finally got into Supernatural and now I’m addicted. I dont know all the characters yet but so far my favorite episode was with the Irish witch. (the episode before the Trickster epi, I think) I felt sorry for him and hoped he would become Sam & Dean’s BFF. Alas that didnt happen but hopefully he’ll make a reappearance.

@Emma: I liked him too! maybe it was the accent or something, but I loved also how they made him sympathetic, not just evil
