In celebration of the end of 2012, we’re reviewing our favorite pop culture moments in the only socially acceptable format – GIFs.

I think Supernatural reaching into the pool of fan beloved actors who are either not working, or haven’t been seen in the nerd mainstream for a while, and placing them in serious arc roles was a stroke of genius. While not mentioned here the appearance of Ty Olsson as a vampire from Louisiana, who isn’t an angst ridden shit like some other vampires from the southern US (That’s right Mr. Compton, looking at you), and Amanda Tapping as the generic villain for the rest of the season was a stroke of genius by the casting department.
