S1 top five:
1. Asylum. I still flinch when Sam shoots Dean, I can't help it! But their dynamic, Sam's rebellious resentment, the utter creeptasticness of the thing!
2. Dead in the Water. Which I always type as Dean in the water. That insight into Dean as a kid, Amy Acker in a bathtub!
3. Nightmare. The first time I felt a serious HSQ moment with the show was when Max's connection to Sam is revealed.
4. Home. THAT PHONE CALL. THEIR LITTLE FACES.
5. Devil's Trap. OMGDEMONJOHN. Ahem.
Positions and presence subject to change on whim.
If you're tired of the spam, please say so. But I share because I love.
I love the sharing.
eta: Some of those moments with commentary got me a little misty.
As far as non-Lucifer explanations for the streetlight, my favorite is that Sam's a ghost. That sort of environmental response is totally within the realm of what we've seen around ghosts.
Much as I love Whoopi, I'd really rather they not communicate through a third party.
It does fit with the street lamp, but I hope that isn't the case.
Ghost Sam could bring the angst though.
Angel fits with the street lamp even more, but I also hope it's not that.
I read somewhere that Crowley blew out some lights, but I don't recall it.
I'd prefer hopped up on dark juice!Sam, but unlike unhappy!Dean, I'm not too caught up on it. Just...not Lucifer. Let's be done with that.
Ghost Sam would bring the angst. But infinitely better option than Sam in hell.
Cass, if my shoulder wasn't hurting, I'd text you another one. Or a continuation. IDEK.
