Because the wait is almost over *is filled with so much love for them*



And this vid, The Way I Am, created by Killa is the perfect Sam and Dean to watch before Season 4 starts. The story of their lives, the happier times, it made me want to cry a little it's so gorgeous. Because we may never get to see the boys that happy and carefree again *sniffles*

1. The final scene in 'Crotoan'. I LOVE and ADORE this scene so much that it hurts. Sam and Dean having a heart to heart talk ( again! ) by the lakeside. Gorgeous scenery by the way. I could barely keep myself from moaning squeeing out loud the first time I watched it ( because of the hubby, must behave myself in front of him ), I thought the setting so romantic what with the soft music playing in the background, and I do not mean that in the Wincesty way. Well, maybe a teeny-weeny bit ...


Dean standing, leaning with his hands on the the fence, Sam sitting on it. I thought Dean look at peace with himself here. Until Sam started asking him things. Wanting to know why Dean said he was tired of the job.
Dean : "I thought we were gonna die. You can't hold that over me." We. What he said there confirmed my thoughts that there was a second bullet for himself if Sam turned and he had to kill Sam.


Dean didn't want to talk but Sam was persistent.
Sam : "Then I guess I'll just have to keep asking untill you do."


Dean : "I just think that we ought to go to the Grand Canyon." Oh Dean ...
Sam : "You're not making any sense."
Dean : "I think we should take a break from all these. Why do we get stuck with the responsibility?"
Sam " Why are you saying these? Dean, you're my brother. Whatever weight you're carrying, let me help a little bit."


The music changed, and the whole mood became tense when Dean was about to tell Sam what John told him just before he died.

Beautiful, exquisite scene. I thought it revealed so much of Dean's love towards Sam when he was just about ready to give up hunting, because we know that hunting is Dean's whole life - "It's the only thing that I'm good at." He just wanted them to be, even for a short while. The burden that he had to carry, alone, and knowing that he would never be able to do what John expected him to do, if the worst happened.

And I wish with all my heart that Dean would get to see his Grand Canyon before their story ends, whatever and whenever it may be ...

And that's it, the countdown ends today, and I'm guessing that the Sam and Dean we'd see in the new season would be different from the Sam and Dean we used to know. How, I have no idea, but I hope and I pray that the love they have for each other would remain, no matter how changed they both are. Thank you for walking down the memory lane with me ♥

Two.

Seeing the first pic always makes me have goosebumps. It reminds me of those Harlequin novels. Heheh. (I'd love it SO much if there's a novel with J2 out there.)

And this scene is really such a landmark with Dean telling Sam about their dad's words. You know what, my heart melts every time I see the moment when Dean says, "Please," asking Sam to allow them to lay low. Ooh... Jensen is totally brilliant there. The thing he does with his hand, patting Sam briefly with the back of it. Oh, I love it.

And Grand Canyon! A place I used to be so scary about but now that you get to think about Dean when thinking about it...

Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas and it's been so great walking down the memory layne lane with you. *hugs and kisses*

And now you're responsible for my goosebumps. I always feel them when i watch this scene. Dean is so desperate, so want to persuade Sam to lay low to quit hunting for awhile just to postpone inevitable revelation. I can't stay calm when Dean's begging for something, just can't. Big brave hero is begging, it's just... *shivers*
Anв i'm so glad you've mentioned Grand Canyon cos speaking of ending i'd love to see it as they two (alive of course) standing there with that great view before them. That'll be the perfect end of the story for me *sigh*
Thanx for the ride. Hope it wasn't last :)

At the opening of this scene, I was glad to see the boys taking take out to take in the natural beauty around them and rejuvenate. Yes, I want Dean to go to the Grand Canyon too.

[ckll.livejournal.com]

This scene is a piece of art :D

Big brave hero is begging

*shivers*

:)

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

It makes me teary every time I see them given a brief respite. *hugs my boys*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Harlequins! Yes oh yes yes yes, I agree with you completely!!!!

And I could never hear/read about Grand Canyon without thinking of our boys again. Or Amsterdam or Yemen for that matter *g*

And you can come to the Laynie Lane anytime you want, my sweets ♥

Dean wanting to quit hunting really struck a chord within me because hunting is EVERYTHING to Dean. That he's willing to give it up for Sam, because that's what it was all about wasn't it? Hunting means going after the supernatural, and Dean's afraid that Sam's destiny would make Sam one of Them, that's why he wanted to give it all up.

And Kripke has to give Dean his Grand Canyon, he has to!

[dev-earl.livejournal.com]

I hope and I pray that the love they have for each other would remain, no matter how changed they both are.

WORD. *heartclutch*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I love Kripke for giving them that, even if it was only for a short while.

And I think I've got to go read all the Grand Canyon fics that I could find. Any recs?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

It's picture-postcard perfect, almost like a painting! Beautiful, just like their love ...

*sighs*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I have to admit that I'm a LOT nervous here. What if they can't stand each other now?

*frets big time*

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

This definitely beats Fresh Blood's 'drop the show and be my brother again' speech.

Especially the backdrop! It's awwww.....considering the director was Robert Singer. Or Mr Singer is really a romantic person?

:))

[dawnintheforest.livejournal.com]

Excellent choice.... man, your description, analysis, reasoning for loving this scene had me almost choking up a little. I just wanna say that I love the way this show handles the emotional stuff. <3

[dawnintheforest.livejournal.com]

Aaaaa! Don't say that! Now you've got me all nervous too! What will Hell have done to Dean?!

*frets as well!*

[willoweese.livejournal.com]

Layne, this scene is so beautiful. Again, I wish I could have added this into my list... I think I needed it to be the top 100 rather than the top ten...

"Thank you for walking down the memory lane with me"
It has been an absolute pleasure. Thank you for chance to walk it with you :)

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Dean with his ordeal in hell, and Sam with his ordeal in getting Dean out of it. But I'm going to trust Kripke on this to not bring the essence of the story so out of its original core of brotherly love.

*HOPES*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

He must be, because that setting, to me, is BEYOND romantic! It's where you'd expect a couple to have a talk, not two brothers!!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

My breath practically hitches each time I get to this part whenever I watch 'Crotoan'. I want to go to this place if I went to Vancouver. And that lake in 'Dead in the Water'. That's beautiful, too!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

There're so many other scenes that I love - Sam and Dean singing 'Dead or Alive', Dean talking to John on the phone in LDC, Dean in pain in MM, Dean's dialogue with his dream self in DALDOM, Sam hunting alone in 'Mystery Spot' - so many!

Maybe we could do another countdown for season 5 next year!

Thank you, dear Louise *loves*

[silkmoth101.livejournal.com]

You know what? You rock! And not only because of that fabulous countdown with all my favorite scenes, but you just brought me back in touch with Killa, to whom I lost contact two years ago.

Thanks so much!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome! And Killa's an awesome writer and that vid she did is gorgeous!

[silkmoth101.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. She hooked me on Slash 12 (groan) years ago with her K/S stories...

Thanks again and whooo only one more day!

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

*heart clench*

Oh babe. It was wonderful walking down memory lane with you!

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

Dean and Sam are not couple?
