3x11: No Words Just Flaily Hand Gestures
You guys you guys you GUYS! OMFG! OMG. O. M. G.
----------- *beeeep*
That's my freaking heart flat lining. Jesus. This episode killed me. There are so many golden moments and lines soon-to-be indoctrinated into fandom's conglomerate of catch phrases, I don't know where to begin.
When Dean died on Wednesday and Sam closed his eyes and opened ( Read more... )
No, it's an awesome thought! And one that makes a lot of sense. Hmm, why would the trickster want to show Sam what life would be like without Dean? To deter him from becoming "dark" (choose a different way to death with Dean's death), or to show him that it's his "destiny" (look you're going to be like this no matter what so just give in now)?
Because the trickster says, "the bad guys" it suggest that he's not a "bad guy". But who are the bad guys? The rising demon in the west and its followers certainly, but what about Ruby? If the trickster's goal was to show Sam what a scary, obsessive machine he'd become in order to deter him from that path, then Ruby could be considered a "bad guy", too being that he goal is the opposite of the tricksters. But if the trickster's aim was to bonk Sam over the head with the "destiny" card or to just screw with his head, then it would seem that he and Ruby might be on the same side.
Or maybe the trickster is removed from the warring demon fractions and is just a free agent who has a vested interest in a certain outcome involving Sam?
Gah. Look at all the thinkiness you've inspired. :)
You do such fantastic thinky meta that hearing this from you is...Well, you're making blush!
Aww, thanks so very much. Now I'm blushing. *hugs*
So, I see it as Sam's followers are kind of conspiring? doing their parts to keep him alive long enough so that he can lead them.
What a reluctant "hero" Sam is. ;) This just reinforces that niggling question of "Why Sam?". His half-demon/half-human status must grant him some critical advantage, something beyond what Azazel needed (someone to breech the iron lines and open the gate). Oh, Show, we need answers.
is centered on a cross as well
*stares* You are so right! Awesome eyes. And the parallels between Sam and John deepen. I like that Sam's cross is the crucifix (with Jesus on it); it seems fitting with all of the Sam/Christ imagery we've been getting in the previous two episodes. I'm rather surpised that the Jerusalem Cross didn't show up with Kubric, though.
Thanks for pointing all of this out! :)
