Misha Collins on Supernatural
By stephanie - Saturday, September 27th, 2008
The folks behind Supernatural have been very kind to us ladies (and gay men) by providing not one, but two hunky leading men to enjoy. Season 4 now brings us another male hottie, Misha Collins, who plays an angel with sweet puppy dog eyes and hair slightly askew. His name is Castiel, and if you look at his pure angel essence, your eyes will burn out. (Disgusting, but kind of a neat special effect.) Now the demons are on the run, afraid that it’s all over for them. We shall see…
Supernatural has been one of my favorite shows since it premiered, but it never did quite make sense to me why they’d have so many demons running around with only humans to stop them. Were the angels out to lunch? To bring angels into the equation after three full seasons is the smart move on the part of the writers. This show never stays static or falls into the “demon of the week” trap. Supernatural displays the right balance between shows that can be watched as standalones and shows that carry forward the story arc. You can miss a few episodes but get back up to speed easily.
It’s too bad Supernatural is relegated to lower ratings on The CW, but I’m happy we have gotten at least four seasons out of it. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens this year with our new angelic helper.
