Dean waking up is totally cute. He’s so sleepy and messy and kissable
To be fair, are there circumstances when Dean could not be considered cute & kissable? Well, okay, I suppose there's dead-eyed and gore-splattered in "Bloodlust", but are there others?
Oh, were I that sinner in need of saving and Sammy himself would come and wrestle for my soul.
The trouble with either of the boys' effectiveness as priests is that one look at them & repentance would be the last thing on my mind...
I still wish Show would give me some indication about this in the dialog or something so I don’t have to worry about it any more.
I want to say that we've seen them leaving a suit shop at some point early on... "Phantom Traveller", maybe? I remember feeling deprived of a montage of them mugging in the dressing room, trying to nail down the right disguise.
But I’d run too if they showed up on my curb like that, wouldn’t you?
Absolutely! I kind of love it when random non-characters react to the boys in ways that anyone with common sense (& lacking the context that so firmly establishes them as good men & our heroes) would.
I think you will not be suprised to hear that I'm still hitching a ride on the "Bad Dad" bandwagon. John Winchester can be, & to my mind is, at once a good man and a bad father. He's a terrifically conflicted & antiheroic & compelling character & I do love him for that, but I don't think I'm ever going to be convinced that his parenting choices were good ones. Though, as you & Sam both point out, they could definitely have been worse.
Dean is at once attentive and brotherly, showing me some nice forearms as he tends to Sam collapsed on the floor... What’s cool about this one is the way that Sam turns to Dean and Dean swings his arm around Sam’s shoulders and hang who is watching them... Dean proudly announces that HE is that one thing, and that while Dean is around, nothing bad can ever happen to Sam.
& if I hadn't already been stupid in love with Dean long before this episode aired, this sequence would have done it for sure. After the rare & elusive "lighthearted goofball", "tender, reassuring big brother" is my favorite flavor of Dean Winchester. Especially garnished as it is here with the "shit-scared-just-under-the-surface" feel of that final expression.
