sera gamble is such a fascinating writer like she will find so many ways to tell us that not living the hunter life is emasculates dean and also makes him gay. even when he's fullfilling a type of capitalist masculine ideal of corporate success or when he's literally essentially literally married with a kid in white picket fence suburbia. but it's gay not to be a hunter. when will be there be another show like project runway. yours or your wife's. sera let's talk.

6x01 - Exile on Main St.

presented without commentary bc where do i even start.

being so distress at the idea his heterosexual relationship could have been avoided ? making it sound like he made some kind of huge effort he didn't have to (to be a with a beautiful woman for a year ?) only reason he went to these concepts (a woman. a kid.) is out of exterior motivation/pressure. ok!!

I hate spn halloween what do you mean you’re going as Dean from 6x01 Exile on Main St

[sweetonsugden]

I’m rewatching 6x01 Exile on Main St.

I didn’t notice the 1st around, but now that I am on my 1st rewatch, I realize that you can see a change in Sam.

He’s not the lovable, over grown, Marmaduke puppy.

There’s a stillness to him.

Knowing what I know now, I can’t believe I didn’t notice something was off the first time around.

And of course Dean doesn’t notice anything off because all he can see and feel is “Sammy’s alive”.

Supernatural, Ep. 6x01

Exile on Main St.

the opening montage in this episode was so amazing. it was perfect and really set up the episode. dean is conflicted, and everyone else is conflicted too. what does dean want? he doesn't know because he's always been too busy listening to people telling him what he should want. he doesn't know his own mind.

i'm concerned about why sam and samuel are back. it clearly has something to do with their names. was samuel brought back accidentally because someone was trying to bring back sam? and who would bring back sam?

the campbells also concern me in general. they kidnapped that djinn, and i don't like the sound of that.

justice for sam

If the spnepisodebracket craze has shown us anything, it's that the supernatural fanbase is extremely divided, with the lowly sam stan seemingly at the bottom of the pile. sam is always last in polls, so this is a bracket for the 10% or so who always votes for him. because yeah, there's 327 episodes of Supernatural, but how many are popular because of a dean or destiel moment? how many good episodes are drowned out because they focus on sam?

i've chosen, with some crowdsourced peer review (special thanks to @spneveryseason, @suncaptor, and @ambersock!) 125 episodes that are Sam Relevant. Some are extremely sam-centric, some just have a shot where sam looks like he's being crucified that gives me brain worms -- i tried to be generous about it to keep a relatively even seasons distribution! matchups will be random and polls will last 24 hours each. in the tradition of @spnepisodebracket (who this is obviously inspired by and would not be possible without!) i'll try to rb a gifset for every episode in the poll!

a final note: no this is not that serious but the criteria for voting here should be how good the episode is as a SAM episode, not as anything else, so please vote accordingly! i am making this for people who actually enjoy sam and if that is not you, then this is not the poll for you!

with that out of the way, here is the compiled list of episodes! voting starts this sammy sunday, 3/26!
