Catching up with SPN

[hsapiens]

I've been mainlining Supernatural of late to catch up. I've enjoyed the prettiness that is Jensen Ackles since Dark Angel so I was surprised to find that my fave is not His Hotness but rather Misha Collins's Castiel. This show has some serious gender issues, true. They're bad enough that I wouldn't watch even though I like the whole Armageddon storyline.

But I can't look away when Castiel is onscreen.

I wish I understood what everyone loves about that guy, sincerely. I just can't seem to get it.

Wish I could explain it so that you got what I get. I'd love to share the squee with you. :)

I like watching his evolution from outsider, cold Warrior of God to an involved, individual actor. He has that whole BAMF air -- and I'm a serious sucker for competence. It does not hurt that Misha Collins is smoking hot and an interesting person to boot but I fell for Castiel before I knew who the actor was.

He's all right. I just don't see him the same way the rest of fandom does at all. Oh well.

I was surprised that he was so popular. I've only seen the fandom as it whizzes by on my f-list and it has always been all about the brothers. I hadn't heard a peep about this "new guy." I've had that reaction, though, to many popular actors (Tom Sellek, George Clooney) in my time so I get that whole, "what's the hub bub?" reaction.
