I was the same way Morgana. It was annoying.
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.
Wow. My head is spinning. And those last few minutes, between poor betrayed Cas and Dean in despair ... When he let the amulet drop, I lost it.
This ranks right up there with heaviest man!pain EVER.
Yeah, that preview sucked. I couldn't understand a word that was being said. The only thing I really got from it was Pray/Prey and the angels were being mean to humans again.
the angels were being mean to humans again.
Must be Thursday.
The previews are on crank, dude. I can never tell what the hell is going on.
I'm going to have to rewatch this episode about a billion times over the weekend.
Okay, someone talk me down about the amulet being thrown away, because right now I'm just reading it as Dean being pissy all over again about Sam abandoning him (oh woe!) to go to college. I never got the impression that Dean was all that invested in the amulet as a magikal God-tracking GPS, and for years it was a tangible sign of the bond between the brothers. Him tossing it seemed like a deliberate slap in the face to Sam, rather than an existential "God has abandoned us and we no longer need a way to find him" move. Please convince me that Dean is not once again retreating to the boneheaded "you don't love me because you dared to go to college" stance in the midst of an apocalypse, particularly since I thought they got past this about 3 years ago.
Yeah, but I think that since every single one of Sam's favorite memories had to do with leaving Dean behind, Dean's feeling kinda pissy. Those are Sam's strongest memories right this minute and not one of them includes Dean.
this whole episode broke my heart.
Those are Sam's strongest memories right this minute and not one of them includes Dean.
And some of them are memories that were actually very painful for Dean so it's even a deeper cut.
They both slapped each other this episode. Sam's wasn't intentional though. If my head is spinning, I think Dean should be given a few moments pass on being pissy. I knew Mary wasn't really Mary and yet that was still too painful to watch her being so mean. Dean is pissed about a lot of things. I think the amulet was tainted by the God in Dean's eyes.
I don't think Dean is being "pissy" at all. He's despairing. And Joshua called him on it -- he's losing faith in everything, himself and Sam included.
No, he never thought it was a magical amulet, it was purely sentimental. But he just came out of a heaven that drove home just how false some of his memories were, and he even admitted it. He said to Sam that John and Mary's marriage was only perfect after she died, and I don't think he'd have let himself admit that aloud before now.
It's hardly him being petulant. He's broken, again, some more, and he's symbolically letting go of memories that he knows he embellished just to soothe himself.
