The average white, fluffy cloud weighs about 1.1 million pounds. 

The loudest sound ever heard on Earth was the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883.

The Indonesian volcano ruptured the ear drums of sailors 40 miles away, and people 3,000 miles away reported it as “a distant roar of heavy guns.” To put that in perspective, it would be like sitting in Boston and hearing a noise that came all the way from Dublin.

Jared’s wonderful acting, part II.  He delivers a complex, nuanced emotions that makes you feel what he silently feels.  You can’t teach this in an acting class and Jared never fails to make me feel every single thing Sam feels.  We learned that Jared is committed to researching real life mental conditions and illnesses to bring justice to Sam’s journey, and that means a lot to fans who are processing and recovering from PTSD and making them feel not alone in their own journeys.

Our  “Acting” tag started in 2014 to collect fans’ insight, reviews, and reactions (including Jensen’s!) to Jared’s amazing acting.  My only regret is I didn’t join the fandom sooner and missed the previous 9 years of fans’ thoughts and discussion of Jared’s acting.  The consensus seems to be that he is always improving his craft and never fails to surprise and delights the viewers with his evolving skills.

Part of the beauty of Padalecki’s acting specifically is the ease with which viewers of the program can tell that when he is or is not playing the ‘normal’ Sam. Offering a fan of the show something as simple as a screenshot with no context, they can tell you with a high accuracy which version of Sam is being shown. Once on camera, Padalecki (and Ackles to a lesser extent – not due to acting, but due to the nature of his ‘other versions’) is no longer Padalecki. Or Sam Winchester. A glint in the eye or specific look, a twitch of the jaw, even a specific twitch of the head, and the viewer knows that he’s no longer normal. Something is wrong, even if they do not know what. -(x)
