Uhm...yeah, I think ouch is a pretty good description ;)

OH, DEAN. *pets* John was too wrapped up in his endgame to notice happy things.

purple_carpets April 9 2011, 05:45:46 UTC

Yes, I really think John had no idea what he was saying right there. *kicks show for not following up on that issue*

Dean’s shoulders slump and that eager look falls right off his face and he tries to act like it doesn’t bother him one bit.

I went "ohhhhhh" at that line. This is where most dads fail. John really needs a Mary to clue him in and tell him to go say something nice about the car.

Yes! Yes he does! And Dean needs a Mary to tell him that John was just snapping at the nearest person and that it doesn't necessarily mean he hates him...

Yay. I'm not going to apologize for making you cry if it made you run and write Stairway fic.

I looove that S1 dynamic. It makes me ache for all of them how they all imideately regress into their old roles and can't really do anything about it.
It drives me crazy that show didn't follow up on that pissy little comment because yes, obviously John was just mad at Sam and taking it out on Dean and he probably doesn't even realiz he's doing it but then Dean takes everything that man says to heart and there is no way he didn't start obsessing over it *kicks show*

Muahahar, my fic has taken control of your mind. Seriously, this has been my personal canon ever since I first watched DMB, I just needed an excuse to write it down. *cuddles bingo card*
And I still get annoyed beyond belief whenever I go back and rewatch it, because they throw that coment at us and follow it up with NOTHING. No long carwash scene, no short mention of 'where's your brother?' 'Oh, I don't know, he said something about cleaning the Impala.' 'Oh, right. Well, let's get back to fixing our relationship which is obviously more important.' there isn't even one clear shot of the Impala for the entire episode after that comment. It's always too dark or the sun is at an awkward angle, so there is no telling if some desperate cleaning session has happened sometime off screen. Yes, I'm obsessing, I know, but come on, show!
