I've heard people who've watched the preview saying that the premier is set to look really good. I can't wait!!

I'll be back on LJ proper tomorrow. Still on fly-by post today, or rather, crawl-by *glares at dial-up*

4. 'Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things'.

This scene starts with Dean driving, silent, none of his usual classic rock playing in the background. Sam's glancing at him on and off. Dean pulls over by the roadside, a very scenic place with a deep ravine to on one side and pine trees on the other.


Dean sits on the hood, Sam follows him,looking concerned.


They talk. Or rather, Dean talks.
Dean : "I'm sorry."
Sam : "For what?"
Dean : "The way I've been acting." ( That trembling lower lip again omg )

Dean says it was his fault that John's gone. He made a full recovery, and John died, the Colt was gone and Dad's dead because of me.

Dean: "You and Dad, you're the most important people in my life. I never should have come back. I was dead and I should have stayed dead. You wanted to know how I was feeling ... What could you possibly say to make that all right?"



Sam has no answer to that. The camera pans up showing them standing side by side, leaning against the front of the Impala.


So many things that I love about this scene. So many. Dean finally opening up to Sam on what he has kept bottled up all this while since John died. Things that Sam has been pestering him to talk about, telling Dean that he's spinning out of control with all the things that Dean kept inside. Dean saying that John would have been alive if not for him, that he's not worth whatever deal John made with the demon. Dean basically saying that he's nothing. And that there's nothing Sam could say about that.

I like it that Sam remained silent after that. It would have spoiled the sombre mood if he started talking then, and I'm quite sure Sam actually had plenty to say. But it wasn't the right time. Dean had talked, and that's good enough. Because getting Dean to talk, really talk is not easy. Especially when it comes to his feelings.

I love hearing what happened after that take. Jensen just took off, alone, apparently unable to shake off the Dean-angst.And Jared followed him. He later said in interviews that he sat with Jensen, telling him that Jensen did good. Knowing Jared I bet he had said a lot more, but that's between him and Jensen. We can only imagine what was really said then.

And if you hadn't read eight_horizon's The Crying Game, do so now! J2 rps on how Jared and Jensen deal with the shooting of this scene, among others.

One of the things I wish Sam would say to him, at some point, is something like, "I'm glad it was him and not you," or "I'd rather have you with me." I'm sure Dean knows that already, but it might be good for him to actually hear Sam say it.

I think Sam did, didn't he? Only not in this episode, but I can't remember when he said that. Some time in season 3, I think. But maybe it's in the fanfics, I sometimes got confused with what's cannon and what's fannon lol.

I think it might have been a fic, but it could have been an episode. I suppose that wasn't the right time to say it, but I'd have said it anyway. :)

Now that I think about it, in one of the last episodes, maybe Time Is On My Side, Dean gives some kind of speech about he's the only one that can save him, and when Sam adds, "And me," Dean got a little huffy about it. This is one reason I don't like sarcasm/irony, etc., it's hard for me to tell sometimes when someone is being serious or making a joke. Maybe Dean just wished he hadn't said what just came out of his mouth, and was trying to deflect Sam from continuing the conversation, but it came across (to me) like he was completely dismissing the idea that Sam could save him.

But then, I'm pretty sure I take a lot more offense at some of the things the guys say to each other than they do. They can often shrug it off, or recognize that it's the same kind of "teasing" they've been doing all their lives. I tend to take hurtful things as being meant to be hurtful, because that's the way my family did things. Or at least, if they were joking around, there was nothing to balance it out to show they didn't mean it as hurtful. So I'm constantly getting annoyed at Dean or Sam for being insensitive, when a lot of the time it's probably like water off a duck's back.
