Not even gonna touch the Grand Canyon stuff because of rage reasons, but LOL @ "the weeks in which there was that second writer's strike, and the show wasn't on?"!
S7 and 8 gave me SUCH bad whiplash. Honestly at times I felt like I was watching two completely different shows. And of course there was "Bitten" which basically WAS a whole different show LOL.
in LARP he started using one of his Jensen smiles as Dean. A smile I adore. Itt's more of a mature, warm, caring smile, and it was there all the time for LARP, and a bunch of times after. To me it was character development rather than not being Dean. Awww I'll have to watch for that when I re-watch (LARP being one of the few S8 episodes I care to rewatch...). And yeah, those "Jensen moments" aren't always bad. IA it can be character development. Because of course, Jensen would draw on some of his own experiences for Dean. But sometimes, especially in more plot-heavy moments, the disconnect can be very jarring :S
Perhaps the Dean he flips into at cons is more of a season 1-5 Dean? Harder to flip into that other/those other/what's going on with Dean, Deans? Maybe. He usually just goes into Dean mode to say a generic line or two, nothing really season-specific, IIRC, so it could be.
And the interviews sound interesting too, haven't heard those. It could've been from a con and not an interview. Sorry but I don't usually save links for this stuff >.<
In the last episode there was a moment that was so Jared to me, rather than Sam – his reaction to the people around after Dean was gonna shoot the pigeon. LOL it was so hard to suspend my disbelief at that scene, because it was SO OBVIOUSLY filmed outside the studio. It was like they weren't even trying to hide it. Normally I can suspend my disbelief and pretend that the locations are not!Vancouver (well, unless it's somewhere really familiar to me, like my school or something LOL). But that scene came off as incredibly lazy to me.
