Season 2, Round 1, Bracket #3/4

Dean: When you were little, couldn't have been more than five, you just started asking questions. How come we didn't have a mom? Why did we always have to move around? Where's Dad? I remember I begged you: "Quit asking, Sammy. You don't want to know." I just wanted you to be a kid, just for a little while longer. Always tried to protect you. Keep you safe. Dad didn't even have to tell me. It was just always my responsibility, you know? It's like I had one job. I had one job, and I screwed it up. I blew it, and for that, I'm sorry. I guess that’s what I do. I let down the people I love. You know, I let Dad down, and now I guess I’m just supposed to let you down, too. How can I? How am I supposed to live with that? What am I supposed to do? Sammy? What am I supposed to do?

Dean: What's dead should stay dead.

Henrickson: You think you’re funny
Dean: I think I’m adorable.

Sam: If there's just one part worth saving...
Bobby: Yeah. All right.

Season 2, Round 1, Bracket #4/4:

YED: I knew I kept you alive for some reason. Until now, anyway. I couldn't have done it without your pathetic, self-loathing, self-destructive desire to sacrifice yourself for your family.

Dean: There's no higher power, there's no God. There's just chaos and violence, random unpredictable evil, that comes outta nowhere, rips you to shreds

Dean: Don’t worry, Sam - I promise I won't trade you for smokes.

Sam: You're bossy.
Dean: What?
Sam: You're bossy... and short.
Dean: Dude, are you drunk?
Sam: Yeah. So? Stupid.

Bracket #1
1) I am so proud of you
2) clowns kill
3) not enabling your sick habit
4) full-on Swayze'd

Bracket #2
1) what could you possibly say
2) starting to be brothers
3) frisky women
4) assume we're gay

Bracket #3
1) supposed to do
2) dead should stay dead
3) I think I'm adorable
4) full-on Obi-Wan'd

Bracket #4
1) sweeten the pot
2) supposed to say jerk
3) School House Rock
4) bossy and short

In an about face, I'm worried! I want the "no higher power" speech to make it into the next round! Feh on the bitch...sans jerk.

"No higher power" is screwed. And I'm sad, because that's how I voted.

I'm feeling strangely attached to my underdog picks.

In another part of the internet there seems to be ranting about how S5 is not re-watchable. That led me to wonder what order I'd rate the seasons for being re-watchable.

I think I'd rate them like this: S2, S1, S5, S4, S3 (with S3, S4 & S5 really being tied)

S1 and S2 I can re-watch entirely, S3, S4 & S5 each have a number of episodes I'd skip.

Bracket 1:

• I am so proud of you: I need a hug.

• Clowns kill: Because they do.

• Enabling your sick habit: So Dean.

• Sam: Dean, shut up! Dean: I'm trying: JA can make me laugh.

Bracket 2:

• I never should have come back, Sam: Oh yes, you should.

• Let me help a little bit: Love Sam

• I enjoy sunsets: Dean thinks he’s so cute. And he’s right.

• gay: these were both equal really.

Bracket 3:

• What am I supposed to do?: Helpless Dean wins.

• What's dead should stay dead: No, not really.

• I think I'm adorable: Dean/Henriksen FTW

• Obi-Wan'd me!: Dean and his star wars.

Bracket 4:

• I kept you alive for one reason: Bad guy talking.

• There's no higher power: That came back to bite him in the ass.

• School house rock: Always funny.

• You're bossy...and short: Heh.

S2 and S4 are my favourite seasons, according to the ep rankings I did. Highest amount of 4 and 5 star episodes. But I think S5 is eminently watchable, and I cast a stinkeye at the dissenters. There's some really marvellous stuff in there, and I had a hard time picking my top 5 eps.

My rewatchables in descending order: S1, S2, S5, S4, S3.

Actually, 2 and 1 fluctuate. I tend to look at 1&2 as one long, extended season sometimes.

Rewatching Everyone Loves a Clown. Why hallo thar Jo and Ellen!

I miss Sam's bangs.
