Supernatural Tally, Part 02-06
For your viewing pleasure, I give you the Tally for 2x06, "No Exit." Ah, Jo. Remember her? Curly blonde hair, red-and-white/plaid/farmer's-daughter shirts? Oh good, 'cause this ep is pretty much about her.
(reminder: spoilers for all aired episodes)
The Count:
Dean saves Sam: 0
--Sammy has done an impressive job of NOT getting into fatal situations so far this season. Oh, but he makes up for it in the end, doesn't he? Yup, that's our boy!
Sam saves Dean: 0
-- You guise, Sam TOTALLY helped save Jo, and she's part of Dean's SOUL you're just JEALOUS they are DESTINED for each other, OMG, OTP!!!! To be fair, Sam did help find Jo - which prevented Ellen from killing both of them on sight.
Fake ID: 1
--You will never convince me that Jo calling Dean her boyfriend is anything other than a FALSE identity. Bleh.
Dean draws a weapon: 4
--Remember, we're counting guns and knives here. And Dean's doing some of the weapon-drawing for Sam too, since puppy is still in his cast from when that mean ol' zombie girl tackled him!
Dean kicks in a door: 0
--He does get violent with some entrances: sledgehammering the wall in, unearthing that sewer entrance. Plus there's just some good old fashioned door-slamming going on - although some of that is Sammy. And pretty much all of it at the Roadhouse is Jo and Ellen.
Sam gets choked: 0
--So far this season, once. C'mon, MOTWs! How can you resist that oh-so-inviting neck?!
Sam's Bitchface: 8
--Sammy does not like having someone take his place. He's supposed to be annoying Dean! Nobody else!
Dean's Eyebrow: 93
--Yes, the category survived! I'm too programmed to look for it now; I find myself counting without realizing it!! But yes, lots of angry eyebrow, mocking eyebrows, and concerned eyebrows in this ep!
Underwear!: 0
--Jo does need to pull up her pants a little bit. But sadly, the fangirls are still foiled by the layers! *pout*
Dean snacks: 0
--Gosh, something must have ruined his appetite! What is it about this hunt that's different from the others?! *thinkthinkthink* Oh yeah...
Sam kisses: 0
--Gosh "Heart" is a long way off. *waits impatiently for this category to explode*
Dean kisses: 0
--For the one and only time: \O/ SO HAPPY THAT DEAN DOES NOT GET ACTION IN THIS EP!!!!!! *wonders if she's being too obvious*
Psychic Visions: 0
--Gone out to lunch. Back in two eps!
Tied Up!: 0
--Jo does get locked up for a bit, now doesn't she?! *evil laughter... ahem* But! That is not the point of this category. This category is for HOTT bound boys. Yes, they are restricted to combat-crawl by the lack of space in the sewer, but the hottness of this is negated by the fact that they are crawling through sewage. Ick.
Breaking and Entering: 0
--Close up on door handle. handle is rattled from the other side of the door. lock turns, handle turns, door opend. Who else would it be but the Winchesters?!
Sam on the computer: 1
--*PARTY TIME* Woohoo! Let us celebrate the initiation of a NEW LAPTOP!! And back to research Sammy, who geeks out once they realize WHO the ghost that they are chasing is. Also: the metal detector! Sammy gets the nerd-toy, Dean hauls the shovel. Props are so telling, aren't they?
Tummys: 1
--Sorry, as distracting and yummy as tummys usually are, I was distracted by other, less fun things this ep!
Dean WiseCracks: 8
--"Girl got a name?" "Katie Holmes." LOL, and the fun begins!
Sammy Jokes: 0
--Sammy laughs at other people's jokes. And fanboys over H.H.Holmes. He needs no other amusement in this ep!
Pinned!: 0
--Jo does pin Dean to the wall in the crawlspace. But that's not fun for me, so it doesn't count. ;)
Dean smirks: 7
--Autopilot when he's in situations which he does not like. Hmm, wonder what those could have been?
Dean is thrown into something: 0
--He's thrown at Jo, repeatedly, by Matt Witten and Kim Manners. Note to writers and directors: NO (chemistry) MEANS NO (chemistry)!! Thank you.
Rain?: No.
--What an annoyingly bright and perky character episode. All smiley sunshiney and crap. Bleh.
Line that popped:
First of all, to conclude last week's rant about "No secrets or half truths," please see this line: "Mom, what aren't you telling me?" \O/ Thank you, we are all liars and will go on being liars. This makes things interesting.
What surprised me was that the line that popped in this ep had nothing to do with Jo. It was all about John:
Dean: "My Dad started me in this when I was so young-- I wish I could do somethin' else." Also, the realization (and resulting dramatic profile) at the end that Dad screwed up, and screwed up bad, at least once in his life.
Given what we've been through in S3 (DALDOM and LDC) it's clear that these are Daddy issues that - pardon the expression - don't have a chance in hell of being resolved. Ever. Unless Kripke can bend the space-time continuum - and it has not been proven that he can't!!! But these wounds are deep, as people have been saying since LDC. Six years old, bullseyeing bottles on a fence? That one moment, that smile that he remembers getting from his father - that's the approval that he's been looking to get again, ever since. And as much as John started him in it young, Dean stayed in the job, hoping to get one more moment where his father would be proud of him. This is one angst-ful family!!
