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

My, I'm imagining how much fun it would be to go back and pick out my favorite scenes from every episode going by the criterias you just laid out. Oh my, I'd be in heaven. Honestly I choose my favorite scene by how many times I've went back and rewatched it. Sammy's death I have seen more times than I can ever think of, on my discs, on Youtube, on anywhere I can find it. This scene is real close but not quite so much.

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.

Well, you have to have some sort of criteria, otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy trying to pick a favorite! And, as well, there are other criteria besides mine....and many many awards that could be given out: best kiss, best hug, best smile, best....you get the idea. : D The "I'm not alright, but neither are you" at the end of the clown ep is one of my favorites too!

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.

Oh, and I almost forgot, Born Under a Bad Sign. You know, I may be off but I just love Evil Sam and Jared plays it so awesomely. I think my favorite part is when Dean gets to the bar and Sam begs him to shoot him. I know it was Meg talking but part of me wonders how much it might have been Sammy too, since he wouldn't want to be that way. And the fact that Dean just couldn't do it no matter what. God I love that man.

Oh, I LOVE that ep too! I can't wait to review it. I love dark Sam, and I love how easily he becomes dark. You don't get the sense at ALL that Sam is fighting the demon. And it's such a cleverly done ep too, because Sam is giving off all kinds of signals that he's possessed, but it's only when you know that you can see the signals.

[meluivan_indil]

Oh the one signal that caught me the most was the sound of his voice when he said "No, you'll live... To regret this." There was nothing Sammy at all in that phrase.

No :::shiver::: there wasn't!
