Rewatch S6: Like A Virgin (6.12)

[hells_half_acre]

Ok! Late with this one today...

Clothes were complicated again. Sam changed TWICE while Dean was in San Francisco. I may have to revise my day count in the timeline.

It strikes me as symbolic that the panic room being (presumably) destroyed sort of coincides with Sam feeling atoned.

I feel conflicted about Cas here because he must be shitting himself over whether Sam remembers who got him out of hell. Also re: the hug - i wodner if Cas didn't go for the hug because he was secretly watching the Sam/Dean, Sam?bobby reunion hugs?

I adore Dean being SO gleeful about his Sammy being back. Also huge kudos to Jared's acting. I think we'd sort of got used to soulless Sam, and its only now we are reminded how different our Sam is.

Again with the brother roles - Sam will always bee the nerd for Dean, even though Dean knows about Hogwarts and Middle Earth!

Oh, good catch.

he must be shitting himself over whether Sam remembers who got him out of hell.

I don't think there's any possibility of that. He would have rescued Sam in his true form (unrecognizable) and also, Soulless!Sam didn't know, so souled!Sam wouldn't know either.

Also re: the hug - i wodner if Cas didn't go for the hug because he was secretly watching the Sam/Dean, Sam?bobby reunion hugs?

Ha! A good possibility, now that we know he is a spying spy. :P

Very true. Jared really blew it out of the water in S6.

Let's not forget that Dean is the trekkie of the family too ;)

and the horror nerd.

Let's not forget that in Hollywood Babylon, he was the one who didn't just know the directors and the main actors of low budget horror movies, but he actually remembered the names of background actors and so on...

[hells_half_acre]

Haha, oh Dean, methinks perhaps YOU are the nerd of this operation. ;)

I'm not convinced Eve is a red herring. I mean, there's the obvious, but bardicvoice said in her most recent recap that she thinks Eve was a leviathan, and I gotta say I'm in love with that theory.

[franztastisch]

Butting in here to say.. that is an awesome theory! I love that. And it would make sense!

[hells_half_acre]

Ooo, that's a cool theory! She DID bleed black goop when they killed her. But the other Leviathans can't create monsters - at least, not that we've seen.

Also, technically she can be a Leviathan AND a Red Herring.

[franztastisch]

-This is masterfully acted by Jared, because you can SEE the realization, and you can SEE the horror, and you can see him desperately trying to hide it so that he doesn't let on that he didn't know.

THIS THIS THIS. Punch in the gut. This is something Jared does so well. Like, when Bobby tells Sam to lose his number in... 5x01 and when Lucifer tells Sam that he's his vessal in... 5x03?

And um... hello. *waves* 22 and virgin. And... you've made me feel better about myself. Cos.. well, you're awesome. And... yeah. Gloss over this bit...

YES! Oh man, that boy breaks my heart with those scenes.

And... you've made me feel better about myself. Cos.. well, you're awesome. And... yeah. Gloss over this bit...

Well you certainly shouldn't feel bad about yourself! I happen to think you are awesome too. Don't let weird-ass society imply differently.

[franztastisch]

It's not that I feel bad, as such, just... I dunno. It's odd. Cos it's not like I mind but. I dunno. Sometimes I just feel awkward. Though to be honest, that's pretty standard. I think it's just cos... people talk about it all the time. But people who haven't, don't. So it's comforting just to find out that's you're not the only one. Which of course I'm not. But sometimes it's just nice to hear it.

ANYWAY

You think I'm awesome. My day is made. :D

[hells_half_acre]

Haha, well, I'm glad I made your day ;)

I get what you mean. It's sort of like if everyone went to summer camp except for you. Or, when I was young, everyone had nintendo except for me. Basically, I'm saying sex is like videogames, there ARE people who don't play them. :P

(The cool thing is that for girls, the more you know your own body first, the better sex is when you finally do have it - so, depending what you do with your free time, your first time could be pretty damn rocking. As opposed to all those who started when they were teens and may still be having disappointing sex because of it.)

"I can't believe she didn't just right to mind - Dr. Visjak, Medival Studies, SFU

[hells_half_acre]

When Bobby said that, I was like HOMFG THEY'RE GOING TO VANCOUVER o_o!! But nooooooooo.... What a letdown. >:(

Awww, see, I saw of it more as an inside joke, where they KNEW about SFU (how could they not? They film in the same town as it?) and they knew that San Fran only has a State Uni, but they used SFU as little joke anyway.

But yeah, that's weird that dude in Victoria didn't know about SFU.
