Jared and the promos...

[ash48]

No ground breaking observations here, but I am fascinated by their choices in this poster. Also...Jared and that tee! (potential spoilers)





Another photoshop effort from the graphics department. I rather like it (much more than last year's!). It's atmospheric and seems to have a narrative of some sort. In most promo posters Sam is strong and looking forward. Here he is the only one looking down and not engaging the viewer. I suspect it reflects his state going into S9 but I have to assume he's not going to remain this wrecked for long. It makes me curious why they chose to show Sam like this. Maybe it's purely based on the first episode. I love how strong and determined Dean looks - Crowley and Cas do too for that matter. Also, Sam has metal bands on his wrists. I assume one is his watch. What's the other one I wonder? A bracelet? Since when?

And that tee! *guh* He's seen in much of the promo stuff in this t-shirt. I figure it's about making him look stripped back - almost vulnerable. I dunno! Maybe they've dressed him in this simply because he looks damn hot in it - but all these things are taken into consideration when preparing for a promo shoot so dressing him in a clingy, grey t-shirt has to mean something. Doesn't it?! (ok...so it's just so we can see more of his arms...I'M NOT COMPLAINING!)







Aaaaanyway. All the promos have been pretty cool (and HOT!). It feels like there's quite a different feel going into S9. Less horror and more..I dunno..sexy intrigue? We shall see I suppose. TWO WEEKS PEOPLE!!

Both! It's like none of them look like the show I recognize. Nor are they all that artistic. Like, the poses are weird, the sets look cheap, and while I like the Tshirt on Jared it doesn't look like the character to me. *shrug* I guess I'm just a cranky bitch, LOL.

yes yes yes..very cranky...

But yes to all those things too. :) They look like a hybrid between Sam and Dean and Jared and Jensen and I'm not sure what their aims were. But you know...pretty...;)

And what's with the silly candles

haha sooooooo cranky

Yeah, me too. On the one hand, I'm confused and apprehensive about this burst of promotion for the show by a network that hasn't promoted the show, like, EVER. On the other hand, what the hell? Is the CW trying to trade on the actors' notoriety itself (something I would have expected in, say, S3 or S4), or is it boosting the show and its characters? While I like the monochromatic palette of the poster, the color choice is perplexing, and the four figures look like they're floating over the setting--which could be deliberate, who the hell knows.

As much as I appreciate Jared's form *kof*, it's not Sam's form per se. Sam bundles up like a little old lady at Christmas. We just don't *see* skin on them, which is why we're all, as a fandom, so 19th century. We glimpse their *ankles* and go apoplectic. All this skin is disturbing. And pretty. But disturbing. So, yeah, cranky bitch.

Ha! All this crankiness...

For me, I stopped at..SKIN! We have more skin!

But no, it's kind of weird. Maybe they just have more of a budget this year or something. What weird about Jared/Sam in this is that it's how Jared might dress but how Sam would stand. And having Crowley at the back with his head reaching the eaves of the church suggest he is very tall indeed!

I dunno. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they are discussing the promos for the year. I wonder what their other show promos are like. Maybe they have an overall theme...
