SPN trivia

I know that this has probably been a point of discussion at some point, but I consciously noticed it today, and I found it interesting . . .

In "Sin City," Sam claims the bed closest to the door. Actually, Dean enters the room first and goes directly to the bed farthest away from the door. Is this the first time we've seen Sam take the "protector's" bed, so to speak? Or have we seen this earlier? I believe (though I'll have to keep track) that this is a continuing trend throughout the season. (I'm certain that in Mal Mal, Sam takes the protector's bed).

Veddy interestink . . . and not surprising considering the turn the story has taken at this point.

Just FYI :)

I researched it for myself and have to say - it's a fanon, not canon. They switch beds and often both beds are opposite the door so it's hard to say which is closer.

Well, there ya go! Thanks for answering! :-)

That's very odd, in a way, because someone told me that it was mentioned in an interview (or maybe it was based on fan research?) that when blocking things out, they (the director?) made a special effort to put Dean in the bed closest to the door. That would mean that it was more than just fanon.

Of course, since I can't actually verify the info, it's not really that valuable or accurate.

That the first time we see Sam take the bed closest to the door is in "Dead in the Water" is very interesting. That's very early days.

And though they seem to switch off, it also seems that the bed closest to the door more often goes to Dean. That, to me, almost makes it what I call "extrapolated fanon." It's fanon, but it's not just randomly made up fanon. It's extrapolated from clues given in the show. I say "almost" because obviously Sam does take the bed closest to the door from time to time.

This is the kind of stuff I was looking for when I was re-watching the series this season. How did I miss all of that? (Well, in DinW, I was being amused by Dean checking on how his clothes smelled. I think it was DinW . . . Anyway . . . )

Thanks!

Oh, don't get me wrong - i like that theory about closer bed and protection. (still can't remember any mention of it any interviews).
And it's interesting to know and compare cos i think that theory is similar to another one - that Sammy always picks a lock and Dean kick it :) As soon as i hear it i start to notice moments of Dean picking a lock :)
As to this particular theory of closer bed i have to say that it's cool but not that useful cos as wee see often Dean is the last one who awakes and we didn't know any monster who'd attack through the door but Shtriga was getting kids through the window so maybe it'd be more use to sleep closer to window for protection? :)

Thanx God i'm not the one obsessed by this scene!

that Sammy always picks a lock and Dean kick it

Oh, you're absolutely right. Dean totally has lock-picking skills. In fact, in "Provenance," when they break into the auction house, Sam is the one who disables the alarm, and Dean picks the lock, and I was thinking, "Dudes, you're doing it backwards. Dean, you're the one who's all electronic gizmo smart, what with your homemade EMF detector. You should be disabling the security system. Sam, you're the one who always has your lock pick set with you; you should be picking the lock."

But either way, one of my favorite things is when the Boys are being all "smooth criminal." "Provenance" is an excellent example of that.

As far as Dean being the one to sleep in, I think "Mystery Spot" sort of debunks that. In "Phantom Traveler," Dean is still in bed, but it's only, like, 5:30 AM, so I don't think that's a fair indicator of his being hard to get up in the morning. In MS, he's up and dressed at 8:00AM, and Sammy is still sawing logs until the radio alarm goes off.

However, I will go along with the idea that Dean is a sound sleeper, what with as many times as Sam has snuck out on him. Ya know? :-)

Dudes, you're doing it backwards
Hee :) Sometimes i get that felling too :) I think John trained them with similar skills - that one can always support the other but it's fun to think that Sam (for example) is better with locks and Dean is with kicking :) But i'm glad they show us here and there that Dean is good with electronics too cos it's canon (yes, EMF detector).

I love scenes like this :) Like the beginning of 219 when they're in museum :)
I think "Mystery Spot" sort of debunks that
Hee :) I know and i don't say he's sleepinf beauty all the time (well, he is beauty no matter if he sleeps or awake but i digress). i base his ability to sound sleep on the fact that when they're at motel they use protection (like salting door and windows) and he never nkow for sure when he get another decent sleep so he uses save time to sleep through it and be ready to hit the road again and be in good shape.
And Dean trust Sam that's why Sam can easily snick out on him undetected. that's all my theories of course :)
