Faith was brilliant for that. Sick pain, empathy pain, tear-filled eyes. Painfest.
Dude, and the Hoodie of Pain.
He was really outstanding in that episode. And JP was great, because he just kicked into gear, panicking, no way on earth he was losing Dean. LOVE.
The panic was great too. Snapshot of what was to come. Oh, the boys and their dying and their bond.
Route 666 today still underwhelmed me (aside from JA's rippling nude back, which is always a win), but I did make more note of how well JP played Sam's fascination with this side of Dean he'd never seen.
It's always interesting to me, when Dean steps away to kiss Cassie and leaves Sam standing there, Sam clears his throat and Dean holds up a "wait one" finger. Sam just seems bereft. Like, wait--that's *my* Dean.
Whereas Dean's always trying to push girls on Sam, at least in S1.
Sam's not so into sharing big bro, and I think Dean sees happiness in the ladies and wants Sam to be happy the same way.
It's wonderful looking at Dean through Sam's eyes. Cassie is such a void of casting (did they not audition her? Could they not find any other biracial-plausible actresses? How hard where they trying) that JA needed all the help he could get.
Also the plot is highly stupid. Is it the worst of the run?
eta: Also, the look Dean gives Sam when Sam asks if it's worth it is so golden. Dean would rather be on the road with little brother, even if little brother would rather be settled down and Dean knows it.
Bugs is pretty bad, too, plotwise.
They didn't even really save the family in Bugs, did they? Didn't the sun just come up while everyone cowered in the attic?
(did they not audition her? Could they not find any other biracial-plausible actresses? How hard where they trying)
My personal belief is that someone lost a bet. It's the only plausible answer.
Something like that. I honestly don't pay attention during that one, except to catch Dean with the towel on his head crowing about the shower.
I don't see Sam as not wanting to share Dean so much as being simply surprised that Dean has this other side, this life that isn't just hunting and family. A shift in worldview, maybe.
It's possible to read Sam's coughing when Dean got kissy kissy as younger sibling trying to fit the older sibling back where they see them as belonging. I think it's more typical for the younger sibling to want the older to not change--I parse it as a bit of possessiveness, but not atypically so. Sam was very much the younger brother.
Dean with the towel is very cute. Sam with the father parallels with the realtor is very clumsy. But Show isn't hardly subtle with the parallel-drawing, then or now.
