Dean was an account executive in that one ep where Sam was the phone sales guy.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

Because books.
But he wasn't Dean Winchester in that world.

I thought Zachariah said he was - just with different beginnings? But I admit I am terrible at remembering those details. (Well, I now that I think about it, they weren't brothers. So I guess he wasn't Dean.)

Because books.
Yeah, his parents were "Ellen and Bob" and he had a sister named Jo. Sam never mentioned his parents, but he did have a girlfriend named Madison that he had broken up with.
Without the Winchester baptism of fire, they can't really be the same people.

Yeah. You know, I should rewatch from the beginning. I've seen lots of my favorites several times, but I should do an entire rewatch.
I should do that with Buffy too. It's been a while.

I really want to do it with Angel, actually.

3-4 years ago, I did a massive Buffy/Angel rewatch where I watched them together, alternating shows during the years the aired together. It was fun but I doubt I have the time to think that hard again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He had Dean's brain, though. ("Just plunked you in the middle without the benefit of your memories."--and he did the job) So I maintain our Dean has the capability, although absolutely no interest or relevant education. Also, Sam was tech support, not phone sales.
Didn't John have part ownership of the shop that he sold before he left Lawrence?

Oh, I think Dean has the brain to do anything he wants. Inclination and temperament is another story.
I think he was part owner, yeah.
It was fun but I doubt I have the time to think that hard again.
I just want to watch straight through and enjoy it, no hard thinking. My brain is perpetually overtired lately.

I would love to learn about the Winchester family. John's parents. I know they're not relevant, because they weren't hunters, but I just want to know how John grew up. Did he become badass in the Marines, or was he raised kind of alternatively? Even just a little, knowing how t shoot guns before he joined up. How much did it take out of him to go on the road? Was it a complete break from all he had known before? How easy was it to induct Dean from the fire onwards right into the life as he adopted it?
TELL ME.
I'm so glad Dean was in construction in canon. *So* glad he wasn't a mechanic. That would have been tiresome.
