They were born in Kansas, but started moving around (presumably I'm not sure what the canon is for how much moving they did as children) when Dean was 4 and Sam was a baby after their mother was killed by the Yellow eyed demon.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

The characters are "from" Kansas, but stopped being "from" anywhere when Dean was 4 and Sammy was a baby.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm sorry you didn't like the ep that much, Laura. This was one of the bleaker ones, but there is never a whole lot of funny, like there was with Buffy. I think you might like it more with the backstory though, so I hope you do watch this summer.
I am happy Victor found the love, or at least understands it. More spicy brains!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dean was wailing on Gordon like whoa. And then Gordon takes Dean down with two shots?
One of which was with a rifle butt (buttstroke! (sorry, krav thing)), and later on when Sam was fighting Gordon you saw the same thing--hands, eh, whatever, and then Sam got his hands on the rifle, and then we had unconsciousness.
What irritated me was Sam's vanishing facial injuries. I know the show's been better about them in the past.

Oh, I agree that a buttstroke would probably take anybody out. Maybe you can tell me, though, if all the smacking around that Dean did of Gordon would really not keep him down a little longer than it did? I think that's what I object to more, was Gordon's recovery than the fact Dean went down so quickly.

Oh, I caught that too. V. annoying.

While it is possible in reality to pummel the shit out of someone's face without them losing consciousness (see UFC fights), TV works with a much reduced set of things that cause unconsciousness (and one recovers from being knocked out cleanly and with no residual effects), so I wasn't slightly surprised.
I was quite happy that the buttstroke was the fight ender twice, instead of giving punches very variable powers.

I guess this is what bugs. I want consistency in everything fighty. Ah, well. I'll have to just roll with it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Of course, within the text of the show we have counterexamples of how badly you feel after having the everliving tar whaled out of you with bare hands. (Even the posture is basically similar: the assailant above and the, uhhh, recipient on his back.) In the season ender of S1, Sam took 5-10 hand-blows to the face and looked like he could hardly walk, after; there was some unintentional visual comedy as Dean (the smallest of the Winchesters) aws trying to haul both his father and his brother back to the safety of the car, while both staggered against him.
You might make an exception for that instance, because the assailant was possessed by Evil; but Evil in human format seems mostly limited to the capabilities (but not the skills) of the human it possesses.

Internal consistency they had, at least within the ep. It's sad that I'm happy about that, but I am.
