Praising Jensen...

Since we never get tired of reading good things about our boy, enjoy!


Thanks to ahania for the tips.

Note on Jensen's performance in 'Are You There God?'

I thought Dean was whispering on account of he didn’t want to wake Sam, but rumor has it that Ackles had a very bad sore throat, bordering on laryngitis, so I’m like, man. Talk about soldiering on through a very difficult condition!

Thanks Sara.

I realize when Jensen is in a scene he attracts the best qualities of an
actor like a magnet (Jared being the best example), but he and newcomer Amy
Gumenick had something extraordinary between them.

Dean was sent back to see the truth and now he knows what the angels know.
Dean is angry, confused, and frustrated all in one distressed glare. I love it when Jensen does that.

Ackles broke my heart as he shed a tear while listening to his mother (whom he knows will die young) talk about her dreams for the future.

Ackles had a very bad sore throat
I head about that too. But i can't place all that only on sore throat - i saw it as his choice in acting not just illness - it was (for me) that just two reason to talk like that were mixed.

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

I agree. I am sure he used his abilities to play at his best :)

[leelust.livejournal.com]

Same here! I mean even if he's had perfect health at the moment they were filming this scene i'd like to see him playing it the same way - it was powerful and amazing.

Go Jen! That's our boy :D

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

He rules!

I think this is a huge praise for an actor.

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

Very huge!

Jensen will use whatever is at his disposal to enhance the performance. I figure that he was unwell during this one as you could hear his voice cut out on him from time to time when he did't intend it, but overall it just added to the performance. Poor bugger though, it can't be fun to do Dean's low rumble with a scratchy throat, that's got to suck!

I think that Jensen's acting is just amazing this season. I mean I love it at anytime, but this season he hasn't miss a mark by even a fraction and that's showing by how many are noticing.

Exciting times for our boy! :D

When they give him great stuff to work with, he never fails :)

Love the icon and the header.
In the pic is Jensen isn't he? He is not Dean, right, the smile looks like a Jensen's smile.

It's from a cap of ITB :)

The header is my first attempt with photoshop :)

It looks like a behind the scene shot, was it actually on the episode? I have to rewatch it again.

The header is my first attempt with photoshop :)

Really, your first? Wow I like it ;)

[apieceofcake.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the links, i love to see him getting the praise he deserves!

And..your header..well done! I remember reading that it was your favourite of the caps :-)

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

Yes they are and since I have my shiny new program I decided to play a little with it.

I have so much to learn and so little time, but thanks. Said by a talented artist like you, it's really appreciated :)

Quoting her source would have been nice

It isn't a rumor, I know because I am the source of this information. I posted to the Yahoo group I moderate 'superntural on the WB'.

If you notice Jensen was on the verge of losing his voice in many scenes in the episode including his scenes with Meg.

Re: Quoting her source would have been nice

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I didn't know you were the source. Maybe you shold tell her :)

[betgirl.livejournal.com]

He is absolutely amazing. *melts*

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

He is...no more words needed :)

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

These reviews are made of ROCK!! So glad to see that it isn't just the fans that see the awesomeness!!

*hugs you*

[x5vale.livejournal.com]

Just like him I guess :)

From the Firefox News review:
"Sammy, wherever you are, Mom is a babe." [beat] "I'm going to Hell. Again." Hah, oh Dean, never change. Jensen Ackles delivery of that line is perfect, as Dean observes his (future) mom and dad on a date.
