ep reaction to Mannequin 3 the Reckoning.
The title is funny to me, because I actually watched Mannequin when it came out. Very romantic for me as a teen! :P But also, this ep was intensely creepy for me. I am afraid of mannequins. O_O One of the scariest eps of Kolchak the Nightstalker is when dress mannequins come to life and try to kill Kolchak. Flash back to me at age six, on

And yay for original Kolshak. I loved Darrin McGavin in that and it truly creeped me out!

The two of them must have to constantly trade pep talks, right?

Does Dean ever speak in unison with anyone other than Lisa?
Yeah, he does. Sam. That's the problem, isn't it - as much as he wants to live WITH Ben and Lisa, he can't live WITHOUT Sam. I'm with you on the whole thing - I want him to have both SO BAD, but Lisa's acceptance of him was contingent upon him being retired from hunting, as it should be. She can't afford to put her kid, who comes first, at risk, and she doesn't know Sam. I hope they get to meet, too.
I went back and watched What is and What Should Never be. It was SUCH a parallel episode to this - Dean even snarks at himself in a perfect mirror of what he said to Lisa - "I'm ... dating a nurse. That's so ... respectable." they even both end with one of Sam's 'it's worth it' speeches. Seriously, go back and watch it. The more things change, the more they really just stay the same.

Actually, for a while there, Lisa did argue that it didn't have to be either/or, that she thought it might work for Dean to come and go. Experience has taught her how hard that is. But I love that she told him not to apologize. I'm very curious to see where this storyline goes.... I don't think they would keep bringing Lisa and Ben back in if they weren't serious about it.
The way the show keeps its own themes first and foremost, the way everything keeps coming around, is one of the big reasons I love it so much!!

I actually have a problem processing proper names, so it's something I do a lot, but I usually catch it before it goes out. sorry.

I'm sure I've mentioned that I agree with you about liking Lisa, so ditto to all of that, and agreed that they are family. Dean has a tendency to draw people into the aegis of his family; not just Bobby, Lisa and Ben, but Ellen and Jo and Ash and Pamela and Cas and even Chuck. Even Richie and Anna; even Gordon before he showed his true colours. They're his people, and he gives himself for any of them. But family comes with a sorting algorithim, and it's not about how much you love them but how much they need you. Sam's at the top of that list; Ben and Lisa don't need him, they want him. And for all his pettily hedonistic ways, real want has always been a luxury he cannot afford. "Want" is just not the most important thing, and he can't change that about himself, or line up with people who have the security to make want and not need their guiding star. Maybe one day, if Sam (and the whole world, or his other family members) doesn't need him as much, but not now. And from where he's standing, he ( ... )

Well, I'm not saying that there isn't any hope, just that DEAN isn't letting himself have any at this point. I'm pretty sure we're mostly agreeing ... for example, Lisa WOULD put up with a lot from him. But I also think he's assessing it clearly right now, that who he is - right now - is not something he will ask her to accept, ever. The hardest thing Dean will probably ever face is real hope, and even if he can ever gear himself to face that battle (and it will be a battle), it's not now. So he's not going to spend time on it.
I'm with you, I'm hoping for him, and that Show will one day give both brothers the peace it's been promising so long - and in the form of life, not death! But for now, I'll wait with him, and Sam both.
Oh, boys. :(
