SPN Snippet: Unexpected Cargo (PG, gen)

Sep 09, 2009 16:00

I started writing something else, but I realized I kind of had to write this, first. Set pretty much immediately after 4x22.

( the sort of thing I wonder if the show will remember about... )

Oh, YES. Very nice indeed. Man, I really really would like to think Show will address this, but it seems massively unlikely.

cofax7 September 10 2009, 00:20:31 UTC

Massively. Oh, show.

Maybe, but I think the whole point of Sam's indecision there was that he knew he would have to drain her dry.

I'm pretty much on the "nobody's irredeemable" bandwagon (I watched both Angel and Farscape, after all), but from a showrunner's point of view, it should be a hard road to bring him back from that. Which is why I suspect they're going to elide it.

Ow. Just... so much hurting.

I chose to believe that Ruby dumped the body in the ditch and covered it with brush rather than put it back in the car so that's one heartbreak they don't have to deal with.

I'm so not ready for this.

Is it better or worse if Dean doesn't know what Sam did? Hmm.

Thanks for the comments.

Cool story bit!

> Is it better or worse if Dean doesn't know what Sam did? Hmm.

Ah ha -- I see through your trick question. Obviously, it's better if it gets forgotten until the perfect moment when the disclosure will fuck them up most!

Wow, ouch. Great Dean POV, too.

cofax7 September 10 2009, 04:55:12 UTC

Ouch indeed. Thanks!

I was so frustrated that they never did anything about that poor nurse. If she was there as a big moral decision for Sam, well, what did he do? They already put Lilith in an adult body for no reason other than to avoid Sam stabbing a small child. But Sam made these decisions - and the show backed the fuck away from them while still trying to be dark and horrific. Fail, fail, fail, and this story brings out both the horror of what Sam was doing, and the horror of abandoning that nurse's story.

We don't know they've abandoned that story--but yeah, I suspect they have. Guess we'll find out tomorrow; if it doesn't come up, they won't be revisiting it.
