When
Sam and Dean made their first appearance in 2005 on the television series, Supernatural, I, like many of the series fans, knew it would be
an instant hit. A continuing story of two young men losing their parents to
evil forces and on occasions dying themselves to rid the world of those same
evil was and still strongly compelling.
Like
with Starsky and Hutch, Riggs and Murtaugh,
Xena and Gabrielle, sorry about the gender bending, but it must be stated, there is an
easy charisma between Sam and Dean that transmits out onto the audience, which
endears them to us. On some level in the real world, we relate to them; their struggles,
their frustrations, their sorrows, and yes, their brief and bittersweet moments
of joy.

For
these reasons it is easy to believe that the casting crew paired Jensen and
Jared for the roles of Dean and Sam. In life, both men share similar background,
which puts them at ease with each other, and that in turned transforms into
some great acting on Supernatural.

However,
let's not forget their supporting cast members who have also made elements of
the series look and feel like more than weekly entertainment. Of them, there has
been many. The ones that stand out and blend well into the magic of
Supernatural are Jim Beaver who plays Bobby Singer, another hunter and friend
of the Boys' father. Mark Sheppard as
the self proclaimed king of hell, and finally, Misha Collins as the angel
Castiel, who has fallen more than once, yet manages to find the faith to be a
hero. All these characters help make Sam and Dean's jobs as hunters bearable and
worth the continuing fight.
This
Thursday on the CW Supernatural will return
to what is a record making beginning of the series 14th season. While there are
no plans for a spin-off, the production company of Supernatural has assured its fans that Sam and Dean will be rolling
up and down the highways in "Baby"
fighting evil wherever they may find it for some time to come.

Great job,
"Boys".
P.
S. I am sure this small display of fan endearment is permissible from an old
granny such as I.
