And Sam actually pipes down until Dean makes a joke about the situation.
Wow, he does ... just like a little kid (or a baby brother). Good catch! I think Dean's jokes grate on Sam under normal circumstances, but more than anything else Dean is doing (or not doing) about this demon deal, it's the jokes and the Dean's light-heartedness about dying that set Sam off. I think that Sam knows that deep down Dean doesn't want to die and he's trying to niggle that out of him. I bet there's going to be a huge confrontation near the middle of the season where Sam just lays it all out and finally gets Dean to admit that he doesn't want to go to hell. Angst! *rubs hands in anticipation*
I get flashbacks to Dead Man's Blood where Sam confronts John and Dean breaks it up...
That was one of my favorite scenes in S1. It just said so much about the Winchester dynamic. I wonder if we'll get a S3 version of that scene with Dean and Sam squaring off and Bobby refereeing. Oh, imagine the number of metas that would spark!
And this can be applied to both boys as there's Dean soul and Sam's life on the line.
You're right. Duh, I didn't even think about Sam's perspective. I guess this just goes to show that I'm still not quite thinking of Sam as an sort of "protector" yet; two seasons of the "little brother" role is obviously hard to reverse in three episodes. ;) This is such a classic and symmetrical antagonist/protagonist set up that it just make me want to thank Kripke over and over again.
Someone should write that meta... *pokes you gently*
You have your evil enabler hat on, I see! *grins* Dude, I suck at writing "opinion based" metas. I end up rambling. And believe me nobody wants to read my unstructured rambles. But I would love it if someone much better at those kind of metas picked it up. :) Plus my silly meta list keeps getting longer and longer. Oh, show, why do you do this to me? *headdesk*
I wonder if we'll get a S3 version of that scene with Dean and Sam squaring off and Bobby refereeing.
I can't even begin to tell you how freakin' awesome that would be! There have been these repeated scenes and visual images throughout the series (e.g. the 'Sam surprises Dean in the middle of the night' scene in Pilot and WIAWSNB), and that one would make an excellent addition. *adds it to the wish list*
Plus my silly meta list keeps getting longer and longer.
Tell me about it! There are these little ideas and theories that just beg the attention. Unfortunately, I may have to skip doing meta as it requires a lot of thinking and researching and coherency... At least with fics there may be odd bursts of creativity which don't require that much work. ;)
I can't even begin to tell you how freakin' awesome that would be!
It would! Heh, maybe we can wish our scene into being with our crazy brain powerz ... you know, like tulpas. *snortlaugh* ;)

*small voice* nooooooooooooooooooooo....

I'm the exact opposite! Metas somehow require less work than fics for me. Fics always end turning into these huge, overwhelming projects that require a lot of brain power. I get hung up on plotting and motivation and just run out of steam. I was trying to do one shots a while back, but ... erghfm. Anyway, keep pumping out your fics! Do you have any plans for a multi-chaptered fic? Just asking. :)
Heh, maybe we can wish our scene into being with our crazy brain powerz ... you know, like tulpas.
Or we could make a post about it somewhere and hope that Kripke sees it. ;) And makes it happen. Because you know that he'd be very into it.
I get hung up on plotting and motivation and just run out of steam.
Guess why I've been posting PWPs lately. :D My problem with fics is that I can't force out anything and therefore am a very slow writer. There has to be at least two nice wordings/mental images in my mind before I can even think about writing.
Do you have any plans for a multi-chaptered fic?
Well... The back story for the priest thingy might be multi-chaptered. And I have written about 8.7k words of an AU fic (for the reel_spn challenge, but that has been a project of mine since June and it's maybe half-way done) based on the movie Natural Born Killers. Mostly, I try to avoid posting WIPs so that my fickle Muses won't leave anyone hanging...
My problem with fics is that I can't force out anything and therefore am a very slow writer.
You and me both! I'm a-dehydrating-slug-stranded-in-a-salt-flat slow. I self censor, which isn't always a good thing to do when puking out the first draft. I'm working on free form writing, but it's pretty painful and pretty gross stuff *rolls eyes at self*.
The back story for the priest thingy might be multi-chaptered
ORLY? :) *clamps the evil enabler mouth shut* I've heard a lot about that reel_spn challenge; it seems like people have been working on their entries for a long time (unless it's just an ongoing thing). "Natural Born Killers" is a great movie respin with a SPN slant. And, whoa, you've got quite a few words there already! You go! Let me know when you submit it because I'd love to read it.
I self censor, which isn't always a good thing to do when puking out the first draft.
That sounds somehow familiar. :) I keep getting hung up on details, and if there's even the slightest problem with them, I can't continue. Which is probably why I'm more productive during the late hours when my brain has mellowed out a bit. ;) Ugh, free form writing (if I understand the term correctly) is something my control freak self has never liked.
*continues with the off-topic discussion* You know the movie?! Because, you know, sadelyrate has done some wonderful hand holding and read the story to see how it fits with the tone of the movie...
The reel_spn had its deadline long ago, but I didn't want to ditch the partially written story because of that, so I'm just going with the format and posting the story when it's done. If all goes well, it'll pop up on your flist one day... Unless you I can offer you something rewarding enough to beta it/read it through. *bats eyelashes* ...But, seriously, I don't want to force you into doing that and I'll understand if you'd rather skip that part and go straight to reading the finished story.
Ugh, free form writing (if I understand the term correctly) is something my control freak self has never liked.
Yeah, free associating blah blah ... I pretty much just write stuff and then delete it. It's supposed to be just an exercise, like doing warm-up scales on the piano. After my writing course I became much less productive because I was trying to employ everything I learned right then and there and that disabled me. So I guess right now you could say I'm in physiotherapy, trying to get back on my feet. One of these days I'll hopefully turn out another fic just for fun.
Which is probably why I'm more productive during the late hours when my brain has mellowed out a bit. ;)
I should try that. Maybe if I didn't care at all what I wrote, I might actually write something lol.

Hehee. How about you don't completely close down the possibility of writing more meta? *evil grin* I'd be willing to give it a read through for sure. :) It's been ages since I watched the movie, so if you're looking for me to remark on the parallels in depth, I'd have to rewatch the film (which really wouldn't be a problem). And really, who doesn't love more renegade Sam and Dean with gun fics? ;) Oo, is it a Sam/Dean fic or a Sam, Dean fic?
How about you don't completely close down the possibility of writing more meta?
I don't think that I could stop writing meta completely anyway. :) *is currently rewatching 3x02 for ideas* Hmm, at the moment I'm pretty comfortable with how the fic is following/not following the movie, so it's probably not necessary for you to watch it. Mostly, I'm just ripping the story and throwing the boys into that world. And yes, it's a Sam/Dean fic, though not explicit. At least not yet. ;)
I don't think that I could stop writing meta completely anyway.
*breathes a HUGE sigh of relief* I'm so happy to hear you say that. :) Thinky thoughts are no fun if there's nobody else to think around with. Yes, I'm totally selfish. *smooshes you*
