Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Points:

  • Colin was awesome. I love him like pie.
  • Young Amy was wonderful. I want to see her in lots of other things.
  • I agree with (our) Amy about how I feel about Dean's actions. I expected him to have killed the son first, quickly, as painlessly as possible, and with sincere regret before he killed Amy.
  • I agree with Stephanie, I think, on I'm more upset with him going behind Sam's back than on either killing Amy or leaving the kid alive, alone, and hungry.
  • I absolutely loved the stalking the stalker in the woods scene, it was so pretty. Jensen did good there, Kim woulda been proud.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did Dean comment on Amy's last name, or was it only Sam? I forget.

Because books.

I think it was just Sam, but I'd need to rewatch.

I'm trying to categorise them geekily. So far, Dean is Vonnegut and Tolkien and comics--perhaps the more literary of the two. Sam is Doctor Who and what else?

Art Crawl!!!

Who played the young Amy? I agree that she was excellent.


Amy - Oct 08, 2011 10:36:09 am PDT #22180 of 30002

Dean is also horror and most popular movies, and more TV than Sam.

Sam is more academic. I can't think of a lot of culturally geeky stuff about him, actually. Although he would have known Mount Doom from the books, and Dean from the movies, I think.

I sort of hope it is that because Bobby felt off in a few moments with no apparent reason why.

That said, he and Dean watching the telenovela was awesome and funny.

I'm with you on both, Cass. I loved young Amy, too, Beverly et al. Colin is fabulous as young Sam. I don't really get practically why Dean didn't kill the kid if he killed the mother. The kid will have to kill to survive now as he is a bit young to get a job as a mortuary assistant. Better to either kill them both or leave them both alive. Dean's off his game!

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

It occurred to me that from the kid's perspective, Dean has now become the YED: the monster who appeared out of nowhere to kill his mother and threaten him. And Dean, who had made saving other peoples' families his job description for pretty much his entire life, has acted in a way that looks as though he's becoming the very thing he hated the most. Justified or not.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I think that is right on the nose, Morgana. I was thinking last night, that to Amy's son, Dean is an evil monster. Dean could justify what he did, but so could Amy.

Eta:

Kim woulda been proud.

Bev got me a little misty there.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Morgana - nice insight.

Is there any meta about Jensen directing anywhere? I don't want spoilers for future stuff, but would be interested in reading any discussions.
