Wow. Just . . . wow. I don't think I realized that they set up things that played out this season, this early in the series.
Dean: Since when are you all "shoot first, ask questions later"?
Sam: Since now.
YED made another gain by killing Jessica, other than eliminating her as a distraction: Jess's death sent Sam off on his singleminded search, cracked open that need for vengeance that drove him to where he ended up at the end of S4.
And Dean, with the wanting to save families, particularly because his own is so messed up. Dean is in this for the people; the vengeance is secondary. (Actually, I never got a revenge vibe from Dean.) Sam with the "it's not bad enough we can't find Dad. Now we have to babysit, too?" Sam, with his wanting to leave the hunt unfinished, send Haley and Ben home (without finding Tommy) and get back to looking for Dad. Sam's singlemindedness, and once he sets himself a goal, he will not be deterred.
And Dean with the journal. You know, it was really nice when any "religious" parallels were subtle and understated. Dean, with the explaining that the journal holds everything John could tell the boys about the creatures he'd tracked and hunted. The Winchester "bible." And Dean, with the mission, ready to ride it out for the long haul. And Sam asking, "How do you do it? How does Dad do it?"
My, how the boys have changed, and yet, they haven't. They're more jaded, more cynical, more stressed. But certain things--certain bits of dialogue--that harkened back to S1? The groundwork starts here.
Dean, so cocky and sure of himself. Sam, so brooding and sure of himself.
And Dean offering for the first time in ever to let Sam drive. And Sam thanking him for being concerned but assuring Dean he's fine. And Dean having none of it.
Also? Dean winks at Haley. *thud* Also also? When Haley asks, "How can I repay you?" and the look Dean gives her and her "Must you cheapen the moment?" and his grin as he says, "Yeah."
And Sam saying he'll drive, and Dean handing over the keys.
Also X 3? Kripke wrote the teleplay for this one. It's true that several of my favorite eps are Kripke products. I'm wondering if part of it (in addition to needing a team around him to bring out his best) is that he works better with mythology and urban legend rather than things that have a more cosmic, more celestial, more divine implication. Because right off the top of my head, the eps that dealt with faith and the divine (ala "Faith" and "Houses of the Holy") weren't Kripke eps.

izhilzha? Many, many apologies if I'm stepping on your toes here, but I really wanted to get this posted while it was still relatively fresh in my brain, and I know you've been busy. So, everyone? Credit Izhi with making me think about this.( Cut for the spoilerphobes. Not that I know what that's like or anything. *snerk* )Just re-watched (Now with ETA!)
Mar. 27th, 2009 08:56 amI just re-watched last night's ep. I won't get into too much here; I'll save it for the magnus opus. But I thought I'd mention just ( a few things )
( a few things )Random observation (with ETA piccie)
Feb. 13th, 2009 07:08 amHappy Friday the 13th! Geo and I are, I think, going to try to catch the movie this afternoon before I have to get the house cleaned up for family coming to visit.
Anyway . . .
So this morning I'm surfing the net, looking at behind-the-scenes pix of some S1 SPN stuff, and a thought occurs to me. It seems that in a lot of these bts pix, Jensen . . . looks just a little bit devious. Like he's got something up his sleeve, a prank, perhaps, that he's planning to play on Jared.
This brings to mind the difference in their personalities, with Jared being the more obvious extrovert and Jensen being a bit more reserved, but how Jensen looks like underneath his reserve, he's got this really sly, wicked sense of humor just waiting to get out. (You can tell that from con vids, actually.)
And that got me to thinking about an episode of M*A*S*H, wherein someone in camp was playing practical jokes on everyone, and Hawkeye was getting such an obvious kick out of it all, that everyone suspected it was him, when, in reality, it was BJ, whom no one suspected because he was so low-key.
Now, the Boys have said that they learned early on that their energies were best served if they teamed up to prank others rather than using their mischievous powers against one another, but still. The way Jensen looks in some of these pictures, the dude is up to something.
*snerk*
As you were.

Jul. 31st, 2008 06:28 pmI mentioned this to kalquessa yesterday, and she was, reportedly, mildly amused . . .
Do you realize that both MacGyver and Young MacGyver were at your con last weekend?
There could totally have been a Q&A session.
Well, okay, maybe not, but still, that woulda been kinda cool.
