Rewatch S6: My Heart Will Go On (6x17)

Ok! Back to funny...

More complicated clothes in this one. Sam has a new plaid shirt (bless the boy, but I am running out of plaid shirt descriptions.)

Anyway, let's get started...

I think the female characters in Supernatural are very strong...even the ones who die in the opening credits. They may be wearing less than the males, but they're out there fighting just as hard.

Besides, I'm tired of all the "who's sleeping with whom" shows out there. I find it refreshing to watch a show that's about two brothers fighting for survival.

As for My Heart Will Go On...it felt like Sam and Dean had been raised by Bobby and Ellen, alongside Jo. It made me wonder if, in this AU, John had decided to go be a hunter on his own, and left the boys with them. It felt like a stronger relationship than "after Stanford".

I loved Fate. She was just doing her job, cleaning up the angels' mess, and she wasn't all that happy about it.

The thing I can't get my head around is the time between 1914 and 2011. Wouldn't it have been easier to take care of the extra souls back in 1915? Or even 1940? Less souls, less mess. But maybe they had to end the extra souls at the same time they were created? Argh. Time travel makes my head spin.

I agree. Basically, my test for misogyny is whether the story makes sense if I switch everyone's gender. So, as long as the writers are writing believable and strong humans, then I don't really care who lives and who dies.

Hmmm, you have a VERY good point. Mind you, it couldn't have been their whole lives. Bill Harvelle died in 1995, so it would have been anytime after that that Bobby and Ellen got together, and then still after that for Dean and Sam to join. So, sometime between 1995 and 2002? It doesn't leave a lot of time for romance...but we do know that at some point Bobby threatens John with a shot-gun, so maybe there was a disagreement about the kids before Bobby and Ellen hooked up. It could have gone in that order. Sam and Dean left with Bobby first, and then Ellen and Jo join. It's an interesting AU!

ss. But maybe they had to end the extra souls at the same time they were created?

This is what I think the case is. They have to fix the problem in the time it was created, not in the past. And yes, it makes my head hurt too.
