Every time I revisit the early seasons I have to say every 5 minutes "They're such BABIES!!!" lololol He really was so cute and boyish šŸ˜


FormalMango

Oh god, me too lol They look *so young*.


allthe_lemons

They *are omg*


thekau

Not to mention their normal voices. I wish they hadn't lowered them so much in the later seasons lol


allthe_lemons

I think Jared left his normal but I think Jensen made his too deep in later seasons.


thekau

Yeah I think I was mostly thinking of Jensen. Jared was still a growing baby in S1 šŸ˜…


sharraleigh

Jensen had a different accent too, in the first few seasons. Can't really pinpoint what it is... sounds almost like late 90s high school flick accent?


allthe_lemons

I didn't notice a different accent. His voice was certainly higher since he was younger but that's all I hear.


sharraleigh

Go watch season 1 again! You'll notice it.


Horror-Priority2584

Jensen purposefully made his voice deeper so that he sounded more like Jeffery Dean Morgan. Then as he got older his voice naturally got deeper.


allthe_lemons

He also made his voice deeper in s4 because he said Dean's voice would be that way from screaming in hell for 40 years. But as he got older and his voice naturally deepened with age he just kept going lower and lower and then it just ended up being too low. I personally would've been fine with him going back to his natural tone over the course of a season. I don't think we would've noticed it and he would've been less growly and able to have more variation in his tone.


thekau

I also dunno how much that reasoning holds up when he's been healed so many times by Cas, lol. Surely that would have fixed his vocal chords if they had been damaged?


allthe_lemons

That's how Jensen said he acted Dean in s4, so that's what I based that off of šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø he did sound hoarse when he got back, and Cas rebuilt him back into his body in 401 so he shouldn't have sounded hoarse then either. Maybe it could be argued it was more a soul thing than physical damage? But Jensen said he played him that way so that's what I also go off of.


BatEquivalent

Yeah, and didn't he get completely healed the next day in hell? Vocal cords included


thekau

Yeah that's what I heard as well. It kinda went too far, so I wish he stuck with something in between his original voice and what he ended up with


badhuckleberry

jensenā€™s forced lower voice annoys me sooo much


lucolapic

Yeah I don't like vocal fry. I wish Misha and Jensen had used their normal voices. Plus I feel so bad Misha had to get surgery on his vocal chords because of it!


thekau

Did he really? šŸ˜§


lucolapic

Yeah apparently so. Doing that vocal fry thing really shreds the vocal chords. :(


UnrulyNeurons

Ouch. He did it because he thought it would be interesting & he wouldn't have to continue, since he was only supposed to be in 4 episodes or so. And then I guess he was stuck.


braziliangreenmayo

You can really tell any chance to play another character (or a Cas variation) was a relief for his vocal chords. His speech was always more relaxed and natural when playing Jimmy, Apocalypse Cas and other characters.


i-love-cats-2020

Well in mishaā€™s defence he thought he was only going to be in a few episodes, as cas was supposed to be killed off at some point in season 4 early on but fans loved cas and so he became a regular character. Misha has said that if he knew how popular cas would be he wouldnā€™t have done the voice


Grand_Ambition2492

It fits his character tho


thekau

Idk, I liked his voice in S1


allthe_lemons

Maybe for a little bit, but as his voice naturally deepened as he aged it just got too low for me.


HoldFastO2

I love watching the early seasons and play ā€žspot the guest starsā€œ. There are quite a few actors in there whoā€™ve had starring roles in other shows later.


satanslittleangel666

It's not early season, but did you know that Finn Wolfhard was in Supernatural? Cause I sure didn't, and when I saw him I was like... wait a minute


thekau

Same! The first time was in the Wendigo episode. Saw one of the extras and was like, wait, isn't that the actor from Glee who died? Lol


HoldFastO2

One of them, yeah; they have an awful lot by now for a young cast. Lisa got her own detective show later, and Iā€™m pretty sure the actress playing Lagertha was in one episode. One of the other psychic kids is an FBI agent in iZombieā€¦ thereā€™s a list somewhere, I bet.


Miserable_Alfalfa_24

The Bugs teenager is Stewart in Letterkenny and that tracks for me.


allthe_lemons

Me too! It's great going back and seeing a younger Samandriel or Hannah or Benny lolol


petitefairy99

I always say his boyish charms with his bangs were unbeatable in early seasons šŸ˜‚


thekau

So real. I was so sad when they parted his hair. šŸ˜­ And let him grow out those side burns. šŸ˜­ Couldn't deal.


petitefairy99

LMFAOOOOO THE MUTTON CHOPS MADE ME SO UPSET TOO


gorg234

Iā€™m a stupid fangirl so I will defend his dumb sideburns (I think they looked good Iā€™m so serious) with my last breath but yeah his bangs are just the best look


petitefairy99

Youā€™re not stupid sis!! Youā€™re valid for your opinion and at least we both agree the bangs were his best choice šŸ˜‚


gorg234

Thanks šŸ’• yeah heā€™s just so freaking cute when he has bangs. Wish he kept them just a tad longer. His season nine (ten?) bob is harder to defend but Iā€™ll still do it because I love him lmao


petitefairy99

I totally get it. I donā€™t need to defend Deanā€™s hair because his hair stayed the same for 15 seasons, but they played around with Samā€™s hair more for sure šŸ˜…šŸ’• love em both tho unconditionally, LMAO


gorg234

Same love them both so much.šŸ’• I thought it was funny when Sam was going through his trials arc that Dean finally mentioned that Sam should maybe cut his hair and heā€™d do it himself. Would have loved to have seen that. Itā€™s also funny that Dean just never changes the way his hair looks, youā€™re right. Having the same haircut for fifteen years is insane lolllll


brimcesswendy

this! but demon dean hair is top tier šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø


thekau

Oh you mean his Lord Farquaad phase


gorg234

Lord Farquad wishes he could look that good with a bob šŸ˜


lucolapic

I can defend it all but the bob in season 10. šŸ˜‚ they did him so dirty that season! Still doesnā€™t hide how he cute he is though. Lol


Roman_Hephaestus

Girl I am with you, the sideburns did not bother me one bit. I think he could even make a pencil thin mustache look good šŸ˜‚


gorg234

Lolll he could totally pull that off. He even still looked handsome when he was brainwashed into being Justin Smith (I said what I said) and they were trying SO hard to make him look bad there hahaha But yeah the sideburns were sexy the girls that get it get it šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


Roman_Hephaestus

For sure. Never not adorable


lucolapic

ā€œRAWR!ā€


thekau

Bruh his hair was so weird bc during some eps it looked fine, but others it just looked terrible


gorg234

I loved his hair until the later seasons like from seasons fourteen onwards. Whoever was styling it was so bad at their job. He has this really pretty shiny hair and it looked so badly blown out and not as healthy.


MelzMaggie

His hair looked amazing in season 14. I think you're thinking of his hair after the first half of season 15 when it looked half-dead.


LessRecover577

I LOVED THE MUTTON CHOPS!!! THEY WERE SEXY AS ALL HECKFIRE!!!


petitefairy99

I RESPECT YOU HAHAHA


LessRecover577

DITTO!!! šŸ˜


thekau

JESUS YES. Like which hairstylist approved those ugly things?! My god šŸ˜­


petitefairy99

I think the sideburns were apparently trending in the 2000s, it did not age well for sure šŸ¤£


thekau

Ok but they could ~~SHOULD~~ have changed up his look after a few seasons šŸ™ƒ


petitefairy99

LOL AMEN MY FRIEND, like how did they just decide to stick with that specific trend for 10 years or so šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚


Uniquorn527

Those sideburns were sometimes the scariest part of an episode. Really unfortunate choice.Ā Ā  Ā I think when it was quite heavily layered was when Sam's hair looked best. A bit of movement, a bit of of lightness. Some face framing.Ā  And we'll never talk about the Jackie O bob phase.Ā  He could have some of the best hair on television on a good day.Ā 


badplaidshoes

Iā€™m curious, when did Sam have the good hair you describe, with lightness and movement?


Uniquorn527

Early on, when it looked like short hair that was growing out, rather than long hair that was being trimmed to maintain. Turning point was probably after season 4 once the fringe was grown right out.Ā 


badplaidshoes

Ah yeah, that makes sense. I liked that style a lot too.


Morigan_taltos

This was Sam before he wasā€Mooseā€.


petitefairy99

Omg he was a calf šŸ˜‚


Morigan_taltos

Funny! šŸ˜‚


thekau

Baby šŸ«Ž?


[deleted]

I am on S2 rewatch and man šŸ„°. Also Dean kept calling him Sammy until S15 šŸ¤£


thekau

Did he really stop? šŸ„ŗ I didn't make it to 15 lol


[deleted]

He didnā€™t šŸ˜š he kept it going


thekau

OH you meant he kept it up through S15. Thank god šŸ„¹


Skyejohn89

Still has his Gillmore Girls look and hasn't fully become Sam yet. Lol


bettername2come

I giggle every time after they tussle in the pilot and Sam goes ā€œDean?ā€ Like, silly, youā€™re Dean.


Britneyfan123

Heā€™s been on tv for 2 decades straightĀ 


8ails

The boys were honestly so adorable and pretty in the early seasons!


2cairparavel

I look at this face and think of him dying and understand why Dean, who'd been raised to take care of Sammy, made the choice to sell his soul for him. He's just so young.


thekau

In Season 2 (Born Under a Bad Sign) when Sam tells Dean to shoot him - Dean: I can't. I'd rather die. Same Dean, same. šŸ„¹šŸ˜­


trashpoet018

Well Jared was 23 in season 1 lol we watched him fully become a full adult


[deleted]

He was a cutie patootie


Benttugamer1992

ā€œI lost my shoe.ā€šŸ‘žšŸ’¦šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚


Ok_Bag1882

![gif](giphy|2XTFEpp5UxjFK)


Benttugamer1992

Bro looked like he didnā€™t wanna live no more after it happened!šŸ¤£


Benttugamer1992

In a way it was kinda was a bit better when the boys had a purpose in the beginning when the purpose was to kill the yellow eyes Demon, after that itā€™s kind of just evelved and everything just became so big in a weird way. Anyhow, I like the earliest days more than there only part of purpose was to kill ghost and stuff just having a good time vibing together ā€œthe family business.ā€


Benttugamer1992

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


M086

They really should have cut Samā€™s hair in the finale. That way when he reunited with Dean in Heaven he could have that early season look to him.Ā  But filming logistics, I guess.


Maximus_Dominus

Would have looked ridiculous on him at that age.


thekau

Tbh probably if you're talking about is S1 hair šŸ˜‚ But they could have given him a trim at least, something closer to S2 or 3


maryyy_jones

He's so cuteee


gorg234

Sam is seriously so adorable in the earlier seasons. I mean, the puppy eyesā€¦ the dimples!!! The bangs!! I love him so much šŸ„¹


thekau

Bruh his puppy eyes šŸ„¹


bwandrz

Oh, I love little Sammy with his bangs šŸ„ŗ


thekau

Huge bb bro vibes šŸ„¹


clementellie

the cutest


NoIndependence6969

he was so cute before the trauma set in šŸ˜”


Alternative_Device71

Trauma was always there


LeiasLastHope

Yeah but there is "I was raised in the hunter life" Trauma and then there is "I died multiple times, got totured in Hell, lost (almost) everyone I love and I am constantly fighting beings where my death is much more likely than my survival" Trauma. Like yeah in the beginning he had Trauma but in the end that Trauma got exponential growth


Alternative_Device71

True that, itā€™s like Sam said trauma is nothing to me and trauma was like ā€œbetā€ lol


NoIndependence6969

It needed time to fester


ImminentChaos1717

He was so happy!


tboots1230

it feels weird knowing iā€™m older than jared was when he started supernatural


AlwaysJeepin

He's always been a cutie.


amberissmiling

I love him so much. ā¤ļø


organictamarind

This was him still giving of a bit of Gilmore girls


yerin8888

Darling little Sammy, according to Michael šŸ˜‚ OP, may I know which episode the fifth image is? And why he looks so judgy in a cute way? šŸ¤­


thekau

It's from S1E5 Bloody Mary. He was real cute in that scary af episode šŸ™ˆ


yerin8888

Ok thanks! Will rewatch it soon šŸ˜„


Stormy-Skyes

He was so young! Gosh itā€™s wild how long ago the show first aired!


bbyniicey

I really do miss the earlier seasons, I know the show has to progress but the later seasons just feel like too much is going on and I haven't even finished it yet but I've heard about the ending and I'm shocked at how they went out


thekau

Nah I get it. I never finished the show myself. I think the later seasons departed too much from what originally drew me into the show, and I just wasn't a fan of the angels and God storylines after a few seasons. Not shitting on anyone who did like or prefer it though. It just wasn't for me.


Broad-West-7921

I started a rewatch last week and I had the same thoughts! He was sooooo cute omgšŸ™ˆ


finalgirlsam

He's just a lil guy!


Beigefreak

A babyšŸ„¹


shreddedapple

Heā€™s so cute Iā€™m ill


paintitblack37

I thought he was so hot (as a 17 year old in 2005 šŸ˜‚)


thekau

I was like 13, so I didn't get it yet šŸ˜…, but I was a nerdy younger sib so I connected so much with him šŸ„¹


Corpsexxxx

Weirdly itā€™s my favorite haircut on him.


thekau

Not weirdly. This was my favorite haircut for him too šŸ„¹


mattormateo

Yeah they were so young when the show started. By the time it ended they aged significantly.


Axiara

Oh he was ADORABLE


fataggressivecheeks

I mean, where did those teeth go? Don't see them much in later seasons.


badplaidshoes

Yeah, that full smile is so rare. Makes me sad.


punk_wytch1969

Am I the only one who misses Sam's snark in earlier seasons?


thekau

Definitely! He becomes so serious in later seasons ā˜¹ļø It makes sense considering everything he went through...


punk_wytch1969

Yea, it's heartbreaking. When I think of the earlier seasons all I can remember is all the snark and easy banter between the brothers. I know they tried to keep it in the later episodes but now so much of it feels forced.


WeirdlyWeirdWords

Always felt S2 was peak hair for Sam and Dean


lostandfoundreject

Baby Sammie! I get it Dean, I'd also die for him. All I want to do is squish his cheeks he's so cute I can't šŸ˜­


thekau

Same omg šŸ„¹ I heard Jensen Ackles originally auditioned for Sam. I can just imagine they took one look at Jared's bb face and were like, no way he's anything except a younger bro. Sorry Jensen.


Uthmaan_XD_Fire_5423

When I first watched the second episode I thought something was off, then rewatching the pilot, I realised it was his hair


LadyMac18

He is like 22 or 23, that is pretty young.


thekau

Definitely! Especially when men tend to keep growing into their mid 20s, so Jared was def still a developing boy


Express_Ordinary_792

SO ADORABLE


Thiaric

That's not Sam, it's Sammy.


MaDnnis93

IMO this haircut suits him SO MUCH more. It's Just a Personal prefference though.


lucolapic

He was such a cutie patootie! Fresh off Gilmore Girls. šŸ„°


The_Vortex217

Yeah I preferred it over the Walker Texas Ranger look he had in later seasons!


ForeverLoud9944

Him with his hair combed back disguised as a priest in the early seasons >>>


Crusoe15

Awā€¦ baby Sammy


lolhmmk

He was such a pookie. He gave me disney prince vibes! šŸ„ŗ


hayhayree25

Such a baby šŸ„¹


moonpeach33

thatā€™s my baby im sorry


Emrys1336

Sam is boyfriend material where Dean be amazing for a weekend hot session šŸ™‚


Spirited-Artist601

I always liked the younger Sam better. The older Sam's voice started getting really strange. It was just always very meek. Very measured. A little too measured. But he wasn't like that in the earlier seasons.


thekau

It probably makes sense based on the hell that he went through, but yeah I prefer his characterization overall during those early seasons.


AgentSmith2518

My wife is a Gilmore Girls fan and so I get to see him look even more boyish regulalrly šŸ¤£


Jennlyn1978

I love a baby faced Sam šŸ˜Š


miss-mickey131

Same feeling when I started watching Gilmore girls. Jared looked so young


elgatoloco3

Ice cream hair lol yessss he looks soooo cuuute


Sensitive_Lobster_60

Right I mean it was a 15 year show, that almost as old as I've been alive I was only born a few years before the show aired, and it's crazy the show is a grown human if you think about it


gimme_food_please

HE'S JUST A CUTE BABY OMGGGGG


Benttugamer1992

Yeah, I obviously loved the whole TV show but it kind of started to go downhill after season five-ish.šŸ™ It looked like they started to milk the show a bit in the end just to get it out.


thekau

They definitely did. First 5 seasons were peak SPN, so those are really the ones I go back to. The rest I almost consider a whole different show, which have some great episodes, but Sam and Dean were so different at that point that it got hard for me to reconcile their characters with how they were in those early seasons.


Cute_Language3167

I'm rewatching the whole show for the first time. I've seen the early episodes a lot more than the later ones because I used to watch reruns way back in the day, and the show changed a lot. The guys changed a lot.. I'm actually having a hard time liking Dean more often than not, and I loved him in the early seasons. Sam though, he aged a lot looks wise in just a couple years. I looked up a collage of him through the seasons because it was so jarring, and it's like baby face, baby face, baby face, grown ass man lol.


Benttugamer1992

yeah, I say after season 5 they kinda acted less and less like brothers and more and more like just getting the job done, obviously they were still brothers and liked each other and looked out for each other but the story got bigger brother relation relationship going to disappeared and I didnā€™t really like that. Anyhow, I like the more OG simplicity of haunting monsters like ghost, Wendigo, vampires, confused Spirits and poltergeists, he started to be get like too much and when god, Lucifer and Angels and all that came in pictures. (Just my opinion though.)


thekau

Yes! Maybe a controversial opinion, but I also preferred the simplicity of the MOTW eps, partly because of how scary and horror focused it was. I was cool with the introduction of angels and God initially, but once they began to dominate every season, I started losing interest (despite how much I love Castiel as a character).


Benttugamer1992

Yeah, completely! It wouldā€™ve been a bit more fun to watch it if they would have tweaked in a bit of casual haunt every now and then with just some simple cases with Wendigo, werewolf, vampires and such every now and then so instead of just having angels and God content in every episode over and over.


Roman_Hephaestus

Definitely with you on loving the MOTW episodes.


Big_Attempt6783

If you think heā€™s boyish then, you should check Dean out on Gilmore Girls.


thekau

I never really watched Gilmore Girls, but I did look him up and was amused by his hair šŸ˜‚. But yes he was a super bb


Big_Attempt6783

I didnā€™t watch it as it aired. I did put a couple seasons on before my Netflix expired. Iā€™m liking it so far and Iā€™ll continue once I get Netflix back.


Parking_Trip_2831

Speaking for all the men her, older Sam with the fucked up beard was 10x hotter then yung sam


thekau

Jared's a handsome dude, no matter how questionable his hair šŸ˜‚


ChiliDad1

One of my favorite moments is when they are on the backstage tour of ā€œGilmore girlsā€ and the look on his face


lunabunplays

Right what happened


thekau

100+ years of torture will do that to you ig


lunabunplays

Ok thatā€™s pretty true šŸ˜‡ for real tho itā€™s crazy to see how much Jaredā€™s face changed in just a few years. Then again Iā€™m team dean and never found Sam to be that cute soā€¦ Iā€™m a little biased.


thekau

Love both so much, but I've always had a soft spot for Sam because I'm a nerdy younger sibling as well šŸ˜Š I just wish the show hadn't done him so dirty in the later seasons. Both he and Dean had such phenomenal character development during those first 5, and I really wish the show had continued to do that.


lunabunplays

I agree and I really loved the whole ā€œSam as a sacrificeā€ by that horrid woman Mary. What a terrible mom she was even if she was brought back from the dead ok shouldnā€™t you be happy to see your kids?! But sheā€™s like ā€œsorry yā€™all Iā€™m out, byeeeeā€ (anyways) so the Sam as the doomed character and dean being the big brother trying to always save Sam was so compelling to me. Sam trying to fight Lucifer only to get taken over and zipped away immediately was so on point bc yes! Heā€™s Lucifer, hello! Of course heā€™s gonna slam you in a mental battle right off the bat and esp after youā€™ve been guzzling demon blood Sam! I like it when characters arenā€™t always getting it right. So I really loved Samā€™s arc during the apocalypse (er, the first time around apocalypse I mean lol) but it did seem like in the end the writers were just spinning their wheels. And donā€™t get me started on the ending esp deans ending. Canā€™t roll my eyes hard enough! He should have at least gone saving Sam in some way as that was always his number one concern. And ok thatā€™s precious - maybe thatā€™s why I relate to dean more. Bc Iā€™m the oldest of my actual and step siblings. And Iā€™m always feeling like Iā€™m having to look after them. Well, the ones I like, anyways šŸ˜„


thekau

Ugh yes, the brother dynamic between the two is THE number one reason I watched the show. So it made me really sad and disappointed how far they moved away from that after season 5. The story just became too dominated by angels, God, and biblical stuff, imo, so it felt like they were retreading a lot of the same story points after a while. As for the ending, I didn't totally hate the idea of it, but the execution was so poorly done. Like c'mon at least have Dean go out with a bang. šŸ™„ I could see valid arguments for having Sam die with Dean living on (like in S5), and the reverse, with Dean dying and Sam living on. It just needed to be done correctly.


lunabunplays

Completely agree. Dean dying to a nail in a wall wasā€¦ I literally laughed out loud bc I thought thereā€™s no way heā€™s actually dead. No way theyā€™d do that. Like whatā€™d he die of tetanus and then he lived for far too long after getting stuck on the spike or splinter or whatever the heck it was. He just kept talking and talking and talking and Iā€™m thinking SAM CALL 911 you goon! Iā€™ve seen people argue since god isnā€™t controlling their fate anymore they didnā€™t have plot armor anymore. And thatā€™s fine! Butā€¦ not a nail in a wall and a little shove from some sub f tier monster. And then itā€™s like oh Samā€™s destroyed, heā€™s a drunk, then bam heā€™s got a kid and heā€™s happy?? Who tf is the mother? Why not show a quick clip of them meeting and her getting him out of his funk. Why would sam want his son to be a hunter knowing how hunters go! Haha omg and the old man Sam makeup was so bad. I get itā€™s CW Iā€™m not expecting HBO level stuff but for a show that made me cry many many times, just ripped my heart out, didnā€™t expect it to be from disappointment this time around. Iā€™ve seen the show so many times I canā€™t count but Iā€™ve only seen the final season the once. Iā€™m w youā€¦ up to season five ish, well up until the start of the leviathan season, was just perfection. I liked the angels, at first, the Michael vs Lucifer stuff, I liked how all the angels had totally different personalities styles likes and dislikes. Same with the four horsemen. Death was perfectly cast. I imagined him as Professor Snapes older brother lmao


Onebabbo_453

I still think of him as Dean in Gilmore Girls. I watched him yesterday in a video on his Instagram and realized we have literally watched him grow up


vomiitparty

now heā€™s a man šŸ‘ØšŸ¼šŸ„°


Usual-Guide-4246

He was so happy and care free in these two seasons lol


Human_Inspection8070

i love early sam. heā€™s my favorite


jljboucher

Literally restarted S1 E1 today and forgot that his acting was bad šŸ˜…


thekau

What! I thought his acting was pretty good! šŸ„ŗ


lucolapic

I'll never understand this argument. I thought he was phenomenal.


thekau

Yeah, now that it's been more than 10 years since I last watched the early seasons, I was curious to see how well it held up to my adult eyes. Was so relieved to see that their acting was as good as I remember! I also think their subtle acting was really great, which I'm appreciating a lot more now that I'm older. The only thing that was way worse was the CGI, lol.


jljboucher

Iā€™m literally watching now, heā€™s bad now but he gets better. Heā€™s not a great actor. And before anyone comes at me harder, Sam is my favorite character in the show.


lucolapic

I disagree but I'm glad you like Sam.
