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.

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.

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

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

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?!

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

[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!

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.

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.

[geeky-ginger.livejournal.com]

See...most of those I did get a little choked up...I'm sappy like that...but none of those got me as teary and choked up as Dean's monologue to Sam's body in the season two finale...that breaks me EVERYTIME!

[eremir.livejournal.com]

I cried at that scene too. It was such a happy, normal, brother-brother moment until Dean ruined it with the whole "I'm gonna die soon" bit, and it became this desperate, affectionate moment.

I also found the scene earlier in the episode, where Sam begs Dean to drop the act and just start being his brother again, very heart-wrenching.

When Sam died in Dean's arms. I was hysterically sobbing and couldn't sleep all night. I just kept replaying it in my head, over and over. TERRIBLE! And then the ep after, when Dean was talking to his dead brother, crying, remembering when he was little. Tore my heart right out. And of course, when Sam had to shoot Madison, and there was that one lone tear falling down Dean's face. Love, Robin

Every single one of those scenes you chose are right up there for me as well.

Two other scenes that had me shedding tears were in "What is". Dean talking to John at his grave and then at the end when Mary and the others were trying to convince Dean to stay.

Having said that, though, this scene in "Fresh Blood" had me crying just the same. Dean's resignation to the fact that no matter how scared he is, no matter how scared Sam knows he is, nothing has changed. He's still dying, and they both know that there is a very big possibility that there is nothing they can do to change that.

These boys break my heart more and more every week.

Yup, all gut wrenching, but the only three scenes I have cried from (I didn't cry for Dean's Monologue to Dead Sammy cause I was spoiled so I knew he was coming back, and I didn't cry in Heart when Sammy had to off Maddy, cause I was spoiled for that too LOL) Anyways, the ones that did have me in tears were:


When John tells the boys what he wishes for "Mary to be alive, Sam to go to school, Dean to have a home" his voice cracked when he said Mary to be alive, and it showed how well he knows his sons, despite his stand-offish ways sometimes, he knew what they both wanted.

When Dean asks John's grave why he has to be a hero, probably because the tears were streaming down his face is what put me over the edge.

And when John came back to save his boys from the YED and the look of pride on his face before he disappeared in a swirly white mist, I don't think more words have ever been said in silence before!!! I seriously had to stop it because I was weeping so hard!!

So those are the only crying moments I have had so far... :) Yours were gut wrenching though!! Nice job!

Your post is great. Heck, you got me a bit teary-eyed there as well..

Can i just note, too that no one cries one tear at a time like Jensen does. That's some talent.

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

*meeepppp* I'm getting all teary just reading this! My most gut wretching ones - When Dean talks to Dead!Sam. Gets me every time. Heck, it got me when Iorhael commented about it up there! *points up* And the Impala scene. Oh god, I was sniffling something fierce and trying to talk the boys outta this. I was all "No, Dean just no. Don't do this. Its not over. He'll save you. I promise." And "Sammy, put the wrench down! Please??"

This is a tough call. Angstiest moments from the WHOLE SERIES??? My post would be ten pages long.

I'm ashamed to admit that in #6, I'm perving way too hard on Dean with his t-shirt sliced open to appreciate the angst. No one should look that good with a tube running out of his nose.
