Faith Family and fabulousness, thinky on 3.09
From AHBL2
Dean: When you were little, couldn't have been more than five, you just started asking questions. How come we didn't have a mom? Why did we always have to move around? Where's Dad? I remember I begged you: "Quit asking, Sammy. You don't want to know." I just wanted you to be a kid, just for a little while longer.
And in this episode we see it. And it’s about Dean protecting Sam, and through that the part of himself that wishes he could still have that innocence, his own lost childhood.
Faith
I love how this show in an episode heavy on gore and emotional porn, can mange to weave in observations on faith - whether it’s a belief on God or gods, in Santa or in a father who is a superhero. And what is real maybe be very different from what we want to believe - Santa might be a pervy drunk, Dad might have very human failings, gods may want to kill, and God is not there to save your brother’s soul.
And an amulet may represent a Zoroastrian god or the love between two brothers.
John Winchester and Bobby Singer: co-parents
I think a lot is explained know we know how long Bobby has been in the boys’ life. And that he was not just a hunting connection of John’s but someone who had a nurturing role in Sam and Dean’s life, that he was someone who would help young Sammy out with a Xmas present for his dad. I can’t help but wonder how different the boys may have turned out if not for Bobby’s influence, not because John was even that bad a father, but you get a sense of these boys isolation from the usual range of social and family influences kids would have growing up. And i think if John Winchester was your only idea of what it was to be a person, to be a man, you might be in trouble.
The Art Department should be drug tested.
Man but they must love their job. In one episode, they get to do a Kinkade tribute room, Santa’s crappy village, another giant bong, porn vids and porn mags, and Dino Doom comics, and the glorious kitsch of the Pagan Gods in suburbia and John’s journal and all the wonderful research on anti-claus that we see.
I really don’t need to mention the awesome acting of J and J do I? Comedy, incredible emotion and kickass action. But I would like to give snaps to writer Jeremy Carver (who also did Sin City) and director J Miller Tobin (who directed BUABS).
Every part of the team creating this show brings their A game. Lets hope they can get back to work early in the New Year.
