Very thought provoking essay there. I think I agree with you on the whole, especially with regard to Sam and Dean, but I'm afraid that:
The current champion at maintaining secrecy for tactical or strategic advantage is not a Winchester at all, but Ruby.
I don't think I'd nominate Ruby as champion. As you say somewhere in the essay, we don't know enough about Mary's involvement with the demon, but we do know enough (Fact: Sam was one of 'the children'. Fact: Mary died at the Demon's hand. Fact: All Mary's friends have been systematically wiped out.) to make her the number one secret keeper, IMHO.
I for one hope that we do get more in that regard. Please, all the gods there are, and Calliope too, bring the writers' strike to a successful conclusion.
And you were listening to my very favourite song of all time, so yay!
I'm definitely with you in hoping Mary was a good guy rather than a weasel. Dean would be totally wrecked to discover that his beloved, adored mom was on the side of the demons. I can't imagine his distress. I'm still thinking that Ellen will turn out to be a baddie, and that will be a shock to him right there.
I don't suppose you happen to have a link to the fanvid for "For my Brother"? Or know who did the vidding? I actually bought a Sweet Charity vidder just to get a vid of that song, but my charity ho is still working on it, and I would love to see how it was interpreted. I have a vid for it worked out in my head. I can see it perfectly, but alas I have no clue how to actually put it together. *sigh* One day.
Yet another wonderfully analytical meta, Mary! Great work! Although I agree with a poster above that the greatest secret-keeper so far has been Mama Winchester.
I wouldn't disagree about Mama Winchester! If there is truth to the vision the Demon gave Sam, then Mary was better than any of the men at keeping a secret no one ever guessed! I want to know more ...
I am also hoping that KTMB gives us more information on Mary & what exactly she knew. We don't know hardly anything about her other than she was John's wife & mother to the boys. We've only heard of an uncle & now these dead friends, but we have none of her history from before life as Mary Winchester (& not too much about that life either
( ... )
It kind of seemed sacrilegious to sell it, but I guess it doesn't make sense to keep it, and if it allows something else in the budget... how many classic rock songs do you think five thousand or so would get?
