I enjoyed the messed up dynamic between them too, but it's nice to see it so simple, back in the day.

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
plus I always love weapons being tossed, for reasons I'm not sure of.
Me? I am *very* sure of the reasons I like watching it. Mmm, hot.

I can't think of any articulable reason throwing weapons around should be hot, but I know when Spike tossed Buffy the knife in the snotmonster from space episode I became a Spuffist there and then.
Watching Sam and Dean do a single-hand exchange of the gun and the necklace just made my knees weak. But the whole last ten minutes of that episode is powerful great.

Because books.
It's the competence thing for me. Weapons are dangerous, and to see them tossed so confidently, by people who know how to use them -- ROWR.

Throwing weapons is dumb! I know that...and yet...

It is! But they're not tossing them to ME, so.

Throwing a weapon to someone who can catch it can be a good move. Throwing a weapon to try to impale your opponent is a good way to lose a weapon.

Too many variables in the catching, I think.
However, if you're trained, a shuriken or throwing knife at a foe is a reasonable option.

If this is the most SPN asks of my suspended disbelief in an ep? I am okay with that. It looks damn good and I don't really care if it took the actual boys dozens of takes to get the shot. *My* boys, Sam and Dean? They are competent and damn sexy doing it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Throwing a weapon to try to impale your opponent is a good way to lose a weapon.
Especially without the bungee.
