The last dance.

layne67I love this song ( thank you ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
i_o_r_h_a_e_l! ). Been listening to that quite a lot lately, been watching past episodes of Supernatural with John in it. Love them all and oh, how I miss John Winchester!! And this song, just like Shinta said, it brings back haunting images of Dean with his father.
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Hence this picspam, a dance down memory lane ...
Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then Spin me around ‘til I fell asleep Then up the stairs he would carry me And I knew for sure I was loved
The ballet and the waltz, the ghost dance and the slow dance, the one-step and the two-step, Dean's dance with his father is a joy to watch.
I have this huge thing for needy, wooby Dean. That trembly lower lip omg, his I don't know what to do, his Tell me, Dad, and I'll do it. ::Bliss::
Breakdown.
Curtain call - the final approval.
Encore.
*sighs* What I wouldn't give to have John back for that one final dance with Dean. Though I'm thinking with all that have happened since - hell, the apocalypse, Adam - Dean's dance with his dad would be of different steps altogether. Does he still need John's approval? Does he think he has already failed with what his father had entrusted him to do - Look after your brother. Does he even like John now? What he said to Sam in 'Jump The Shark' - You can think whatever you want - ouch. That could be taken in so many ways but my first impression had been one of disillusionment.
But whatever it is, I so, so badly want John back one final time, to see him take that ultimate final bow with Dean, in whatever capacity.
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
‘Cause I’d love, love, love
To dance with my father again
And lastly, John with Dean fic recs here. Eight fine stories that explore the complexities of a father-son relationship. Enjoy!
Note :
- Dean's dance with his brother coming up soon.
- Caps byoxoniensis and also taken from here.

Date: 2010-02-03 05:30 am (UTC)Hehe, Dean's trembling lower lip has many fangirls, myself included.
Incidentally, I think Dean still greatly respects John, i.e. his reaction to "Paris Hilton" bringing up Daddy. But I think that adoration has matured in that he no longer sees his
idoldad as all virtue, no fault.Your picspam is making me more excited about this week's episode. How spoiled are you of it?
Lastly, thanks for your fic recs. I enjoy your recs very much, you know -- we sharing a brain and all. ;-)

Date: 2010-02-03 10:56 am (UTC)There's this other thing that Dean said to Castiel in 'Free to be you and me', something about not wanting to be chained to his family anymore. My heart plummeted down down down when I heard that because it seemed to me not only was he talking about Sam, he was talking about John as well. In his current state of mind ( at that time ), he looked at himself as being "chained" and that's bad ... for Dean. But in a way, it kind of explained his relationship with Sam at the moment - him needing his space and all that, to be his own person instead of John's son or Sam's big brother.
You're very welcome! I enjoyed doing that so much :)

Date: 2010-02-04 12:09 am (UTC)S/he said when Jensen acted Dean was confused/surprised/shocked at what John was telling him, he wasn't actually looking at JDM at all, that the scene was a composite where JDM's part was filmed in LA.
If that's the case, that's damn good acting and damn good special effect. In lieu of how well Jensen carried off 5.04 The End, we now know Jensen was perfectly capable of doing that. But I still not sure if the story is true or not. I came into this fandom late, and that episode was back at the beginning of the second season!

There are other great episodes that I enjoyed, such as "Bad Day at Black Rock", "Mystery Spot", "Jus in Bello", "Yellow Fever", "Changing Channels" etc, but those first ones I just LOVE so much!

Date: 2010-02-04 03:30 am (UTC)I love ALL of seasons 1 and 2 episodes with the exception of 'No Exit' which I found quite flat and boring. It's hard to single out any one of them but if I *had* to choose I'd choose IMTOD, WIAWSNB, Nightshifter. And oh Faith too, and Provenance, Bloody Mary, Devil's Trap. See? I told you, I love them all. It's seasons 4 and 5 that I begun to have eps that I dislike, but having said that my top 5 scenes/episodes are from s4 and s5!
Argh, now I just remember, I should have included Dean's scene at his father's grave in WIAWSNB!

Date: 2010-02-03 06:03 am (UTC)I recognize Dean as being in the stage of human development that most of us go through in our late twenties and early thirties, but in his case it's more pronounced due to the family history. This time is when young adults truly assert themselves out from under the shadow of their parents and can often start recognizing flaws in their parents and hold them at a distance, before eventually moving forward as a comfortable adult with an adult loving relationship with parents. It was obvious that Dean adored and worshipped his father, and established much of his own identity as centering around John's worldview. Then after John's death, the hurt and anger Dean was left with began to turn into a self-exploration that brought in some understanding of how messed up their relationship really was. I think Dean is moving to the next step, which is realizing that under extraordinary circumstances our parents do the best they can but they are human and not perfect. We have to forgive them and ourselves, even if remembering past behavior may irritate us from time to time.
:-)
