Nine Season Countdown to Season 10 - Season 1

Nine days to go until Season 10 starts, and nine seasons of SPN to celebrate as we go. Seems like a great idea to me so here we go with Season 1.

The season that grabbed me from the Pilot and never let go. I wish I could remember how I came to buy the box set Seasons 1-3 in the first place, but I can't...I just remember watching those two pretty boys and falling in love with Dean immediately. I've always been a sucker for the damaged, pretty ones who cover up their pain with a smart-arse mask. Or even without the pain, I tend to fall for the hero-jokers. Manolito in High Chaparral, Hannibal Heyes in Alias Smith and Jones, John Sheppard in SGA - you get the picture.

I think I'd have carried on watching even if they'd stuck to monster-of-the-week formats but the deeper story-lines are the ones that sparked a real devotion in me - the search for John, the mystery of Mary's death, what was happening to Sam and Dean binding everything together. Home and Heart Faith (I meant Faith!) are still amongst my all time fave episodes for a reason. And that season finale - still shocks me even now, after having watched it so many times I've lost count.

I love rewatching season 1 and seeing how far our boys have come, especially Sam.

Ok, armelin on tumblr posted this edit of a Dean screenshot from the Pilot and either he's gone commando or has very loose boxers on. That is all.
