is there anything beyond self-loathing
Well, Sam and Dean have very different personalities. Really, I think what's tied them together all these years is because they grew up with just each other. So maybe Dean subconsciously thinks that, without hunting, they wouldn't have much in common.
I know its supposed to be a funny line but when Sam says, "I can't believe we're even related"...the hurt in Dean's eyes..and resignation.
But I love that Dean knows that "they are still brothers" and Not!Sam gets in the car.
And he expects Sam to believe that, and not to believe the truth.
I know its supposed to be a funny line
There's a lot that could read as funny in this ep, but pretty much none of it is really that funny after the lawnmower thing.
(Though "what're you calling me a bitch for?" is pretty good...)
I wonder if there's any importance to the license plate being different (again)...
Nice catch Ailleann. I didn't notice that.
I think there must be, since they focused on it.
And the "We're not in Kansas anymore" was pretty funny.
I know, Ailleann, I keep wanting to flap my hands and wail, "Oh, Dean!" but it's not as much fun by myself.
You would think that would ping Dean as well as he knows his true love car.
Man, the stuff with the girl was creepy... the foot thing especially.
(As long as I'm being detail-oriented, it's at least a five hour drive from Lawrence to Illinois, and that's the west side... would they really get there while it was still pitch black?)
eta to say five what
