Supernatural Squee.

Oct 05, 2008 00:47

Emerging from radio silence to express Supernatural squee. It's been a while since I've had anything to squee about, I've been so stressed with RL stuff, but I do manage to get online about once a week, and tonight I saw SPN 4.03.

( cut for ridiculously fangirly and fairly repetitive 4.03 squee )

Hey! I thought of you when I was rewatching, that it wass probably an ep you would love. :-D

I'm so utterly predictable, I know. But John. I've written young John meeting Dean so many times ( in my head)

Miss you
*mwah*

*hugs you* Miss you too. Life is stressy. Getting online doesn't happen much. *sigh*

I've always assume "sir" was a basic respect thing. In a lot of families (especially in the South), everyone who you don't know is "sir" or "ma'am". You might call a woman your age "miss" but yeah... just basic respect.

And this episode was wonderful. I went into it completely unspoiled too, and the damn thing kept making me cry.

Yes, I've always thought so. But to have it there in the show is just icing on the cake. *g* I cried quite a bit at this ep.

Yeah, Dean wasn't the only one wibbling during the ep.

I'm actually surprised there was a theory going around that "sir" was a post-hunting thing. John was small town and military. He seems like a "sir" and "ma'am" kinda guy.

I miss you all. Thank you for the love and energy - I could certainly use some extra right now! You must definitely check out Merlin - ASH is wonderful, as are the young leads, and the slash is so sweet and innocent.

Hey, sweetie!

Right with you on everything. It somehow makes it all more poignant and hurty to me that John started as such a sweet, easy-going guy. Vietnam couldn't destroy him as much as Mary's death did. Or maybe it has something to do with how PTSD works -- right back from Vietnam he wouldn't be showing signs. It can take years to develop.

Anyway, you know what I noticed on a rewatch and it just made my heart twist even more, when possessed Samuel was menacing Mary, John pushed in between them. [ETA: Playing the mediator and peacemaker, like Dean between Sam and John. I just looked at the scene again. He's a total badass there, nothing peaceful at all! He's more Sammy than Dean. But...there's your badass. OH yes.] But mostly, he was protecting Mary and if he had to, he'd have taken down Samuel, if things got rougher. You just know he would.

I may have to check out this Merlin series!

I totally agree with you about having no real problem with John's innocence as potrayed here. My own personal fanon is that John was always a rather feisty character - more like Sam than either of them would care to admit, so I've been writing a de-aged teen John fic which has him being a bit of a handful for Dean ( ... )
