he doesn't actually seem to be that personally powerful a demon.
In what way has he shown a lack of power? Finding Death and restoring Bobby's legs and actually disappearing in front of our eyes is enough to put him above everyone we've seen but Lilith and Alistair.
I want to rewatch the whole series and count the number of times...
I think we need a list. Like a series-long drinking game.
Dean saying "snowball's chance" might be a contender, too.
Okay, I'm going to call it just shy of 24 hours due to scheduling stuff on my part. Sorry to anyone who gets snipped in the last hour. Let me finish up the bracket and create the round 2 HTML.
Season 1, Round 2, Bracket 1 (of 2)
Dean: House rules, Sammy. Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole. 10:1
vs
Missouri: Don't you worry, Dean is going to clean this up. Well, don't just stand there, boy, get a mop. And don't cuss at me! 6:5
Sam: Dude! I can't use this badge!
Dean: Why not?
Sam: It says 'bikini inspector' on it! 7:4
vs
Dean: Dude, stow the touchy-feely, self-help-yoga crap. It's not helping! 6:5
Meg: He begged for his life with tears in his eyes. That's when I slit his throat.
Dean Winchester: For your sake, I hope you're lying. 'Cause if it's true, I swear to God, I will march into hell myself and I will slaughter each and every one of you evil sons of bitches, so help me God. 8:3
vs
Dean: You hurt my brother and I swear to God I will kill you, you hear me? I will kill you all! 8:3
Dean: No chick flick moments.
Sam: Alright...jerk.
Dean: Bitch. 11:0
vs
Dean: People believe in Santa Claus. How come I’m not gettin’ hooked up every Christmas?
Sam: ‘Cause you’re a bad person. 7:4
What are the ratios after the quotes?
t /clueless
Those are the votes by which the quote won its round.
Season 1, Round 2, Bracket #2 of 2:
Dean: I think he wants us to pick up where he left off. You know, saving people, hunting things—the family business. 11:0
vs
Sam: I miss conversations that didn't start with "this killer truck." 6:5
Sam: I wish I could have that kind of innocence.
Dean: If it means anything, sometimes I wish you could, too. 9:2
vs
Dean: I'd take our family over normal any day. 6:5
Dean: (to his Dad's voicemail) Dad, I know I've left messages before. I don't even know if you get 'em. But I'm with Sam and we're in Lawrence and there's something in our old house. I don't know if it's the thing that killed Mom or not... but... (tears up) I don't know what to do. So whatever you're doing, if you could get here... please. I need your help, Dad. 11:0
vs
Dean: Vampires! Gets funnier every time I hear it... 6:5
Dean: But see, my mom - I know she wanted me to be brave. I think about that every day. And I do my best to be brave. 7:4
vs
Dean: What made you change your mind?
Sam: I didn't. I still want to find dad... and you're still a pain in the ass. But Jess and mom - they're both gone. Dad is God knows where. You and me, we're all that's left. So, uh, if we're gonna see this through, we're gonna do it together.
Dean: Hold me, Sam. That was beautiful. 9:2
Round 2, Bracket 1
House rules
bikini inspector
I will kill you all!
Bitch...Jerk
Round 2, Bracket #2
the family business
sometimes I wish you could, too
I need your help, Dad
Hold me, Sam. That was beautiful.
Okay, voting gets harder for me now.
Bracket 1:
- Shotgun cakehole: Still seminal
- Bikini inspector: Sammy! Dean will win.
- I will kill you all!: I went back and forth on this one, and I don't even know. I can't explain. Something about avenging Sammy gets me more, but they're both powerful, almost equally so.
- Jerk/Bitch: other seminal. I'm annoyed I seeded them both into the same bracket, now. Hmmph.
Bracket #2:
- Family business: Right. Seminal #3.
- That kind of innocence: Back and forth on this one too. Dean for Sammy, or Dean for family? I believe Dean picks Sam.
- I need your help, Dad: Easy win.
- I do my best to be brave: Hard pick, but the reveal about Dean puts this over the top for me.
Dammit, that was harder, except where it was easy.
