Dean would never be moved by the cheezy violin music. That alone would make him commit suicide.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That temptation scene would have been much more powerful without the music.

Oh, look. I get it now. Aw. Poor Dean.

Are promos fair game for discussion?

Wow, they are really overplaying the Dean-cries-manly-tears card, aren't they? Although I thought the scene where he first sees Mary was genuinely moving, and I always like watching him question all that he's believed in his whole life.
Interesting to see that Wishverse!Dean showed signs of possible alcoholism (at least, we're meant to assume that from how his family treated his drinking) -- maybe without hunting to focus on, he hasn't found anything else that's as meaningful to him, and he turned to the bottle in the absence of that purpose?

Morgana, promos are generally fair game, though I thought this one was annoyingly spoilery. (N.b. I am unspoiled, so perhaps everything in the promo happens in the first ten minutes next week!)

I was very annoyed by the (possible - I'm hoping for misleading editing) spoilerliness of the promos. Although, given the kind of crap that seems to be going down next week, it's a very, very bad time for Dean to have just had a "questioning how much I've given up for this job" moment.

Kate, I was about to point out the single manly tear rolling down, when I realized that nope, we actually had dual tracks wending their way. Not that he wasn't entitled, but yeah, they are kind of ratcheting up the 'Dean's being emo' card. (Really, Sam had to learn it somewhere.) And I also thought the reunion with Mary was genuinely chill-inducing.
Regarding the promo, I'm pretty sure I saw Ava. AVA!! AVA!! AVA!!!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I too was dratting the Single Perfect Tear just in time to see that there were actually several. So at least we were spared that melodrama.
Also, concur on the excessive heavy-handedness of the music. If you are going to be heavy-handed on this show, you must use Journey! Or Foreigner! None of this violin crap!

I saw Ava in the promo too! Very exciting.
Ahaha, yeah, the Single Perfect Emo Tear kind of loses its power when there are two of them. Followed later by more crying. And several Single Perfect Emo Tears in the episodes preceding.
