Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things: Supernatural Episode Review
You can read my review of the Supernatural episode "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things" at pinkraygun.com. Thank you!
An excerpt:
Sam, of course, knows better, and back at the motel, the boys have a major dither as Sam calls his brother to task. I’m sure it must be getting old for him trying to make Dean talk, trying to make him admit that the ( Read more... )
Now lets skip ahead to honestly my second most favorite scene of all three seasons. You guessed it, that last scene on the hillside. I'd have to say that I'm right with you there on how awesome it is to see Dean cry. The first time I watched it I didn't catch the tear in his eye until he turned towards Sammy and then back again and I thought I'd fall off my bed trying to get to the remote to back it up and watch it again. I thought 'that was a tear, a real tear, and the best man crying scene I'd ever seen in my entire life' That one tear just blew me completely away. Then once I calmed myself enough to listen to his words I was crying right along with him. Because as you and Dean both said "What can Sammy say to make that alright?" I begged and I pleaded with Sammy just to come up with something anything that would lessen his pain and I still do everytime I watch the scene, even if I do know that there is nothing he can say or do.
Before you ask my favorite scene in all three seasons is Sammy's death scene. Yes, I know, I'm so cruel to the boys but seeing Dean in so much pain just gives me the shivers and well that's just the way the story goes.
As I said before, I love your reviews, and look there I even gave you my own mini review. Imagine that. And I thought I didn't have the patience for such a thing.

So then I had to think about my favorite scene...and I couldn't do it! I could do it like...my favorite Dean by himself scene (which, I think, is the scene from Home, when Dean calls his Dad...or the scene in the Ginn episode, right as Dean's stabbing himself...or...yeah, it's hard), my favorite Sam by himself scene (when he's in the motel room in Faith, and trying to figure out what to do about Dean, he's so scared and alone there), Dean with another character (with Michael, in something Wicked, I love the way he talks to him), Sam with another character (the bar scene with Jo in BUABS!), and then finally, Sam with Dean (ANY scene from Hell House or Tall Tales!) See? It's too HARD!!! I gotta have categories!!!
As for the mantear, there ain't been nothing like it before or since. It's glittery and painful and Dean's on his last rope. I don't blame Sam for having nothing to say, because Dean is right, what could you say? Overall, everyone at SPN had their Wheaties that morning, because the whole of that scene, from the location to the camera angles and the placement of the boys was PERFECTION.

Let's see other scenes, from Devil's Trap where Dean begs his father not to let the demon kill him. In ELAC, where Sam tells Dean that neither of them are all right. And the subsequent Impala abuse. Hell House, the cafe and itching powder. Heart, Dean offering to kill Madison for Sam and all the wonderful tears that follow on both boys. Croatoan when Dean tells Sam that he's tired of it all. I could go on forever and forever. Oh not to mention almost every scene in Mystery Spot, my absolute favorite overall episode from all three seasons.
I'm seriously gonna have to watch some more tonight. I can't go a single day without watching something SPN.

And Mystery Spot, YEAH! oh my WORD, that was a terrific ep - all the way around, for what it showed us about Sam and Dean, to the funny bits, and the angst. I think that was the best of season three, with the Christmas ep following soon after.
