In Dark Angel JA played a well-to-do piano teacher (or, I guess he played a guy playing a well-to-do piano teacher--details, details); I can see his Michael being a slightly less I Am the Romantic Love Interest of This Flashback version of that! Sigh, that would have been fun indeed. I'll also go ahead and wave my "Jeffery Donovan for the Archangel Michael" flag.
My favorite things about Michael? I'm a Dean H/C-er by trade, aha, so I think my bottom line is his massive potential for mindfuck and chaos, probably. But in practice I just really like the sheer number of viable incarnations he's taken on in fandom. Cop out answer, I know, but how many characters have that power? I can't remember who it was, but someone once made the distinction between terror and horror. Terror is fear. Horror is fear without knowing the cause of it. That mystery was just so electrifying for me, combined with the loose canon that was S5 Winchesters. Michael put a name to that horror, sure, but in the end a name is only a name. He can be anything!
Problem #1 with Crowley or Dick Roman as major villains, I think. We know them far too well. They were threats, more or less, but they were never horrifying. Michael was.
What about you? :D p.s. yessss fandom interaction makes me so happy!
