Poppy's not full grown yet, so she still has time to grow into her eyes and ears...I'm betting they will always be huge, though! If you adopted your cat later in life, she was maybe already nice and staid and cuddly and well and truly over the teenage hoodlum phase that Poppy is in...
Dean rules in the Pilot. There's so much subtle character work there that wasn't apparent on first viewing, but then when you go back and re-watch you see more and more every time. Going to Stanford to ask for Sam's help after so much time apart and Sam cutting all contact must have been so, so hard, but he does a good job in general of not letting it show. Even when Sam flat out refuses to help in any way. Heh, and he cracks onto Jessica so automatically, because she's hot, because he has an image to project, and because she's Sam's girlfriend. What kills me most, though, is the way he just switches her off with his very next breath.
Kinda makes you wonder what Jessica made of him, no? Yep, she's clearly used to having guys come on to her. I kinda think she sees immediately that he's doing it to tease Sam more than anything else, by the way she rolls her eyes. But I can't see Dean making a good impression on her in that brief meeting. He tends not to make a good first impression with many people at all, really, which is probably the point of all that defensive posturing. Keeps everyone at arm's length, which protects both him and them.
I do wonder how Dean and Jess would have gotten along. Because we only see her very briefly, and Sam never talks about her, so how do you try to figure out how someone would react to a person when you don't know anything about that person?
As for the new episode...I can't wait either!!! It's killing me. The last new episode, they're actually playing "Nightshifter" right before it. So not only do we get one last new episode, we get a rerun right before it! *is excited*

Alas, we have no way of knowing. I kinda think that Sam must wonder from time to time how they would have got along, in his more melancholy moments. Just one of many regrets I'm sure he harbours, that none of them ever got to find out.

Season three just started airing here last night, so I must remember to do my bit for viewing figures each week. It won't be a hardship ;-) I just wish it was on a regular channel, rather than cable, which not everyone has.
I'm glad that you can at least download the eps; I wonder how come it takes so long for it to air over there?
I'm looking at Skin pics, and I wonder sometimes, how conflicted Dean must feel about Sam's time at Stanford. On the one hand, Sam was happy there, and there's nothing Dean wants more than for Sam to be happy. But Dean's happiest when Sam is with him. I can't imagine wanting to be happy for someone because they're happy but being completely miserable about it at the same time.

I can't imagine wanting to be happy for someone because they're happy but being completely miserable about it at the same time. I think it's a terrible thing to have your personal happiness so dependent on other people, but a lot of people live that way, I guess. Dean is just a mass of contradictions. I mean, after the fire his entire life revolved around John and Sam. He was thrust into a caring role long before he was old enough to make any kind of independent choices, and it shaped him and scarred him. Have you read the season one companion? Where JA talks about how Dean tries to do for Sam everything he wanted their Dad to do for him, which is exactly how his actions and reactions come across on screen, and is one of the saddest things about the show. Poor Dean.
