In which episode did Dean reveal he had a GED? Also, when was the first time we saw them recite the exorcism ritual from memory? Was it Sam who did that first?
I think it would have been interesting if their choices were solely based on their upbringing, their perspectives, the differences between them.
I like to think that their choices were personal, but the situations they were put in were predestined.
Um, "I've got a GED and a give-'em-hell attitude." Early S5. It was never canon till then. I think the first time Sam recited an exorcism off book was Jus In Belo. But that's a guess, I could be completely wrong.
Aha. Supernaturalwiki is our friend for transcripts and narrowing that down. Sympathy For The Devil is the GED reveal.
When did we first see Dean recite the ritual from memory? I know he muffs it in Sin City and Swap Meat. Has he ever done it right?
I'm loving reading all the Sam exploration.
I don't think they've ever shown him doing it off-book and not messing it up. You'd think it would have been a priority, even if they didn't begin performing exorcisms until Devil's Trap.

Grr. That's kinda irritating. I get the gag reasons for the way they did it in Swap Meat, but he knows better.
They were reading from Dad's journal in Devil's Trap and Crossroad Blues. Dean sounded more confident of the pronunciation, but with the book in hand. Since then they've used more than one exorcism ritual, because the one Sam used on Meg and Dean used on Crossroads Beauty did not sound like the one Bobby used to oust Meg from Sam, or the one Sam recorded in Jus in Belo.
Yeah, Supernaturalwiki.com lists separate rituals for Devil's Trap, Crossroad Blues, Born Under a Bad Sign, and Swap Meat, and ignores Phantom Traveler due to incomprehensibility, so it sounds like they're totally mixing it up.
No idea why they'd do that.
I was very relieved to find out that the exorcism in 99 Problems was fake, because from the webclip it seemed ludicrously short, and the idea that there was an Enochian one that Cas hadn't told them didn't seem fair.
I don't think they've ever shown him doing it off-book and not messing it up.
I could have sworn they had shown Dean doing an exorcism correctly from memory, but I can't think of what ep it was.
ita, just so you know, I am tearing through Wellspring. It's like eating jellybeans, one after the other.
