Rewatch S1: Ep 02 to 04

[hells_half_acre]

Tonight I was able to sit down and watch Episodes 2 to 4 (Wendigo, Dead in the Water, Phantom Traveler)! I'm putting my ramblings under a cut, because I figure they will probably be long, but here are general things:

Jared's accent really does come out in these early episodes. Especially in Dead in the Water, when he says "Green. The Light's Green

I agree with you on the kids being treated far differently. You can see it in both Something Wicked and A Very Supernatural Christmas, because it's safe to assume that Dean has been his Dad's foot-soldier since the beginning, whereas Sam only finds out about monsters when he is 8/9...up until then, he'd been granted a fairly innocent childhood (in comparison to Dean's anyway. I think Dean had ceased to be a kid by the time he was five).

I must say, I LOVE my DVDs...haha. They were a Christmas present too, but since I knew what they were, I just opened them right away as soon as they were delivered. I'm looking forward to seeing the additional behind-the-scenes stuff, but I promised myself I would wait until I watched all the episodes first.

And thanks for defending my nerdyness! I love your while-you-are-watching reactions to the episodes.

You may have noticed in my wee!chester fics (and the one told from Jess's POV), I tend to place the young boys in Texas a lot. I just figure, I might as well do the writers job for them and try to legitimize the accents. :P

The problem is, I don't think I will be getting my christmas presents until after christmas, since we're not going home, and presents will have to be delivered by people who *are* going home. So basically we get it when they come back from their vacation. boo!

Haha, thanks, I love our little discussions! hee!

Hahaha, legitimize their accents! I honestly wonder why they chose Kansas. I think they probably wanted them to seem very midwestern. I mean, Kansas is a very blah nothing state, a very heartland of America type place. Maybe they worried that Texas was too far south, and had too strong of a state identity in terms of being "southern" and "Texan". If that makes sense.

I think you are right about why they picked Kansas (plus, apparently there is some crazy urban lore about Lawrence or something). I think really they didn't want them to have any real state-affiliation. If you think about it, the boys have probably been nomads since they were 5 and 1. They may have been born in Kansas, but I think overall the writers probably wanted them to have a sort of homelessness-feel to them. So, yeah, basically what I'm saying is that I agree that the problem with having them from Texas is that the state-identity is too strong.

In an upcoming episode they are apparently going to work a case at an old high-school of theirs...it'll be interesting to see where the high-school is.

Oh yeah, that'll be cool. By the time they hit highschool, they were all over the place, so it could have been anywhere. I hope it's a Bobby's house thing, because I just like Bobby.
