Fresh Angst

[layne67]

I finally got to watch S3/07.

*** Spoilery pics under the cut ***

That final scene, it tore at my heart. It's even more heart-wrenching than

7. Dean calling John in 'Home'. "Dad, I don't know what to do."


6. Sam dying himself watching Dean dying.


5. Sam and Dean watching their father being burned at the pyre.


No tears, none *seen* anyway, unlike in this scene.
4. where Dean poured his heart out to Sam. Why he felt that he shouldn't be alive.


Even more moving than
3. John making his final appearance. Omg, the sight of him flickering like the ghost he was, fairly broke me.


2. Dean saying "I'm tired, Sam. The intent to end his own life clear in his voice and expressions.


Oh Dean, you made me cry like a baby when you gave him
*your* baby. No tears, nothing OTT, just you handing over your most prized possession to the person you love most in the world. This, this is the most moving scene for me from the entire episodes from S1 to 3.

What about you? What are your most heart-wrenching, throat-constricting and gut-twisting moments?

i didn't like get all choked up or anything, but i squeed a bit.

It's like something out of fanfics, right?

[arabia764.livejournal.com]

The bit at the end of the clown episode (season 2) where Dean beats on his car and then just stands there. His face... it breaks me every time I see it. Now that's what I call acting.

[unhobbityhobbit.livejournal.com]

It was Sam's speech that really got me in that episode.

[bitterbird.livejournal.com]

nice choices
opening of ahbl Part 2 always gets me
and WIANSB at the end

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh YES, that one was really great. His anger was like, pulsating. That, and also when Dean met Mary in the djin episode *cries*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I need to watch that again. And again. Fast-forwarding over Bela. Heh.

You know, when we were little - I mean, you couldn't have been more than five - you just started asking questions.
How come we didn't have a mom?
Why do we always have to move around?
Where'd dad go when he'd take off for days at a time?
I remember I begged you - "Quit asking, Sammy. Man, you don't wanna know."
I just wanted you to be a kid, just for a little while longer.

I 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.

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. God.
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do?!

There are a LOT of moving moments and those two that you mentioned are certainly tear-jerkers.

Just now i realized how hot are Jared's hair in the last caps.
I agree with you in these.

[goodbyetoyou.livejournal.com]

yes! minus the porn

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I bet there're hundreds of porns being written right now. I'm waiting for some hot backseat actions. Or some slow loving as befitting the moment. To seal the "giving-away", so to speak ;)

[bonbonschnecke.livejournal.com]

Exactly the last you have chosen! It was like giving up hope. I sat there crying not believing he really did it. That was "THE" moment!

[goodbyetoyou.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* oh jeez!!! the visuals i'm getting at 8am now, THANKKKS lol!!!!! lol

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh, honey.

But he made it right in the end, didn't he? And now it's Sam's turn to protect Dean, keep him safe ...

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Oh God, I think Sam gets hotter and prettier as he gets darker and darker!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I think what I like best about that scene is its -- subtlity. There was no overt drama or anything. I like how Dean was sort of half-smiling, looking like he was at peace with himself. And Sam, whom I thought was going to go all emo on Dean, but instead he just accepted quietly, even laughing a bit. And that made me cry all the more!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

But you know, it doesn't feel like them giving up hope to me. It's more like -- Dean was full of hope, that Sam's going to be okay. Sam and the Impala both.

*cries again*

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

I like the fact that they can delve deep into the characters and bring out all these powerful emotions without being over the top about it. It's very rare to see them overtly emotional. It's all below the surface, but they let us see it in the things they do and say, and the way they do and say them. That's marvelous acting, and very good writing.

Most gut-wrenching? I guess when Jake had just knifed Sam in the back and Dean was on his knees, trying to tell Sam it wasn't even that bad, then realizing Sam was dead. That scene hurt.

Then this final scene in 3.7 was so sweet - the way Dean accepts his fate in a way that doesn't involve him trying to be funny to cover up his fear. That Sam accepts a lesson in how to fix the Impala - while fully understanding what Dean mean yet without trying to walk away from the reality they are facing.

I didn't express that very well. But yeah, the car-fixing scene is totally loving and lovable.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

*agrees whole-heartedly*

Especially Dean. His face is just so expressive - a glance, a smile, the raise of an eyebrow ( well-shaped ). Which is why I don't quite like the first episode 'The Magnificent Seven'. The way Jensen was made to do Dean, the sex and the eating and all.

My faith in Kripke has returned :)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

You expressed that very well indeed. It's all done so subtly, not in so much words yet the impact is like WHAM!

But there's just this one tiny thing that bothers me a little, is Sam really that ignorant when it comes to cars? He doesn't even know which one is the carburettor?

That Jake scene? I have Dean's monologue on my phone, and I listen to it over and over again. I'll take care of you

[munibunny.livejournal.com]

Yup, I've watched this ep twice and cried both times at this scene. I love Dean, the big brother! My other 2 favorites are Dean holding Sam at the end of AHBL1, telling him "It's not that bad..." and Bobby telling Dean "have you got that low an opinion of yourself?"

Gets me every time...

[allysonsedai.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yay. I *knew* you were gonna love that ep!

Another heart wrenching scene? From Shadow, I believe:

Dean: Why do you think I drag you everywhere? Huh? I mean, why do you think I came and got you at Stanford in the first place?
Sam: 'Cause Dad was in trouble. 'Cause you wanted to find the thing that killed Mom.
Dean: Yes, that, but it's more than that, man. You and me and Dad, I mean, I want us... I want us to be together again. I want us to be a family again.
Sam: Dean, we are a family. I'd do anything for you. But things will never be the way they were before.
Dean: Could be.
Sam: I don't want them to be. I'm not gonna live this life forever. Dean, when this is all over, you're gonna have to let me go my own way.

:(

That moment in IMToD, when John reaches forward and puts his hand on Dean's shoulder, and says, "Don't be scared."

That gets me EVERY FREAKING TIME.
