Rewatch S1: Ep 21 & 22
Unfortunately, because of the CD-ROM content on the disc, my computer screws up whenever I try to watch the 6th disc on my laptop (which was where I've mostly been watching these, given that I don't always have access to the good TV). So, I had to drag out my small crappy TV and hook it up to an old DVD player so that I could watch these episodes ( ( Read more... )
Re: "That's enough" - one thing I love about the show is the family dynamics, it became the backbone of the show because they do it so brilliantly - just with little things like that. John oozes authority, and you get a grasp of how strong his AND Sam's personalities are through it...
...and yeah, that "barely holding it together speech" is, I think, our first real insight into how tormented Dean is...it's the perfect way to set up the second season when they stuff really comes to the forefront for Dean.
And yes, Dean definitely cares about killing the demon, and yes, I love that in the end John chose family over killing the demon as well. I really had forgotten so much about how awesome John was until I watched these episodes, I was way too hard on him before.
One of the things I love about John is that there is such a wealth of stuff you could potentially write about him...because there's so many years of hunting, being on the road, weekend trips away from the boys...who KNOWS what he's done. That being said, I thought "everyone you ever loved" was more like the "love like a brother" thing, but you are right, in the 22 years since his wife died, there WERE probably a couple of lovers, who knows!

When I read that, I had this image flash in my mind of an oreo cookie. Two hard cookies and one squishy Dean middle! HEE!
Yay that you've rediscovered the awesome of John! *bounces* He is SO ficcable! So much mystery there...mmm. And yeah, he couldn't possibly have gone 22 years without having sex with anyone. Ooo, I just had a thought...*wanders off plotting and muttering under breath*
