Supernatural , Season 6 , Episode 16

…… And Then There Were None

Ah not Lilith , Eve.

Should have known, Shoulda guessed.

Bobby is on the case as well , woah

So is Rufus. Like old times? Ohh woah

And Samuel , and Gwen. Okaaay.. Something’s about to go down.

“You’re the guy pretending to be their father”

“Well somebody ought to��� - Bobby

Goooo Bobby!!!!

What , Why did Dean just kill Gwen?

or is he affected by Eve? Something like that? These men always suffer from the guilt of unknowingly killing someone.

I love how smart Bobby is. And this is getting interesting , a game of guess who kinda , to find who has the worm thing.

Bobby is calling people to find out about the worm thing , Sam and Dean don’t know anyone beyond Bobby. So cute.

Is Sam… Talller????!!!!!

Sam killed Samuel, without there being any bug in him. He looks so done with life.. Sam. Poor, Baby.

Omaha? What happened in Omaha? Rufus lost someone because of Bobby. And he’ll never forgive him?

Why won’t Samuel just stay dead? Ew thay thing crawled out of him.

Woah woah woah they’re shocking themselves. Dean goes first. Sam does it to himself. Classic Sam.

Damn this thing is ruthless. Rufus is dead. Now Bobby feels super guilty as well.

Eve cooked him up. Okay.

Sam turned away when they were cooking the thing inside Bobby? Oh , I missed this Sammy.

@colorlessjay's Dean and S6 Cas adventures inspired me!! So here is S16 Dean greeting S6 Cas, and Cas notice the ring on Dean's finger...

"What is that ring? Did Dean get back with Lisa and married her in the end??" *suspicious eyes squint*

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!!

Supernatural S6E15 The French Mistake

[bloodydeanwinchester]

soooooo incheresting. i just watched a video that counted all the times dean said cas and castiel through out the series and it kept a count of the castiel's separate. he said castiel a total of 16 times throughout the whole series and SIX of those times were in season 6!!!! and every single one of those in season 6 was dean praying to him. which notably none of the other castiel's were part of a prayer. god dean is just like....pining for cas so hard in season 6 and after they stopped the apocalypse it's like castiel just drifted so far away from him and he got all powerful again and dean KNOWS that something is going on with him but cas is just keeping him at such a distance (because he's trying to protect him from everything going on with heaven's civil war). so suddenly when dean's praying even when he's making a joke of it (which is often) he's saying castiel instead of cas.

[s0fter-sin]

one of my favourite aspects of supernatural that you very rarely see in paranormal shows is that sam and dean are already versed in the world they live in. there’s no sudden discovery of ghosts and demons and now they have to learn about them along with the audience; they are born into it and already know all about it. it allows the audience to follow their personal story instead of also trying to figure out this new world and its rules

the first season is full of knowledge we never see them learn; “w*ndigoes are in the minnesota woods or- or northern michigan. i’ve never even heard of one this far west.” […] “great. well then this [his gun] is useless.” (1x02), “you don’t break a curse. you get the hell out of its way.” (1x08), d: “it’s a god. a pagan god, anyway.” […] “the annual cycle of its killings? and the fact that the victims are always a man and a woman. like some kind of fertility right.” […] s: “the last meal. given to sacrificial victims. d: “yeah, i’m thinking a ritual sacrifice to appease some pagan god.” (1x11)

almost every episode in the first season is a monster they’ve faced before that they then explain to the audience in a way that should feel patronising; like it’s the same speech given over and over again but instead, the audience almost feels included in the knowledge. it’s stated with such an innate confidence and comfort in said knowledge that it feels like we already knew it too; “spirits and demons don't have to unlock doors. if they want inside, they just go through the walls.” […] “the claws, the speed that it moves; could be a skinwalker, maybe a black dog.” (1x02), “it's biblical numerology. you know noah's ark, it rained for forty days. the number means death.” (1x04), “no no no, not the reaper, a reaper. there's reaper lore in pretty much every culture on earth, it goes by 100 different names.” […] “you said it yourself that the clock stopped, right? reapers stop time. and you can only see 'em when they're coming at you which is why i could see it and you couldn't.” (1x12)

they already know and, at least in the first season, already have what they need to kill whatever they’re hunting; already know to salt and burn bones for spirits, fire for a w*ndigo, exorcisms for demons, a silver bullet to the heart for shapeshifters. there’s only three times in the entire first season that they run into something new to them; 1x14 when sam gets his first vision that leads him to another psychic, 1x16 when dean calls caleb for help on the sigil he put together and he tells him about daevas, and 1x20 when they find out vampires are real- and they only don’t know that bc john thought they were hunted to extinction and not worth mentioning

(there’s also technically two half instances if you count one of them knowing something the other doesn’t - sam figuring out the tulpa in 1x17 and dean already knowing about the shtriga in 1x18 - but those still rely on sam and dean having prior knowledge)

even when they’re uncertain about facing something, it’s not bc they don’t know what it is; it’s precisely bc they know what it is and acknowledge that it’ll be a difficult hunt (“i don't know, man. this isn't our normal gig. i mean, demons, they don't want anything, just death and destruction for its own sake. this is big. and i wish dad was here.” 1x04)

so much of the tension in paranormal shows typically comes from the main character(s) not knowing what is happening to them/the people around them and having to find out how to resolve it. supernatural is unique in that it operates more like a police procedural. the tension comes from solving the clues and identifying patterns to figure out who (what) the killer is and intercepting before they can take another victim

it’s such a different tone to go for when compared to other shows that came both before, during, and after its run. it sets sam and dean on even footing with each other since they both have the same knowledge going in, and it puts them in a place of authority usually reserved for an outside character

the shows i compare spn to most is charmed, buffy and teen wolf; every main character in those shows are brought into the paranormal world knowing nothing, putting them on the same level as the audience, and they have their mc interact with others already knowledgeable about that world in order to overcome their problem/monster of the week. the audience organically learns about this new world as the characters learn about it. it’s a sound writing strategy that prevents “as we already know”-style exposition but something that complicates it is if your world building isn’t unique or intriguing enough, this slow introduction can become boring

we’ve seen shows like these before; sitting through the same tropes of characters learning to use their powers, struggling with no longer feeling normal/relating to the regular world around them, and not knowing how much they can trust the people already involved in this new world gets repetitive. all three shows eventually reach the same level of comfort with their new world that spn starts with but if the characters aren’t enough to draw you in, you can end up dropping it before they reach that point (and often, before the overarching plot can really kick in and evolve the show beyond the villain of the week format)

it’s the superhero origin movie in tv format; dragged out and overplayed. dropping the audience into an established world of course comes with its own problems but you also have the benefit of pre-existing established character dynamics that let the audience slot in like they’ve always been there instead of just getting to know all the characters while the characters also get to know each other

sam and dean already knowing about the supernatural lets the audience immediately get to the core of the story; the conflict between sam and dean, the search for their father, and the mystery of what killed their mother

6x02 - Two and a Half Men

it's been in my drafts for a while i still don't know how to explain my thoughts. MY POINT. this scene says it's unusual for dean to yell at ben. like ben is shaken by it, and dean is very aware he crossed a line. which implies that for the whole year, even tho dean was depressed and drunk and all, he still wasn't acting like john. later in the ep when he goes "acting like a prison guard" and "lately" bc!!! he wasn't like that!!! FOR A WHOLE YEAR. AT A LOW POINT. s6 dean was capable of being a good father actually and then he gets convinced/convinced himself that he wasn't and could never be because in his blood he's a killer. i'm going to walk in the ocean.

People who see souls shouldve treated sam like an eldrich monster in s6. Like his soul has been ripped apart and is a mess. People who can see souls/angels/demons/witches should recoil when they meet him. Even demons should wince at the sight of him. It would add a whole new dimension to sam and the other characters like what if rowena could see sams messed up soul but instead of recoiling it interested her and she wanted to understand how this little human boy is tortured in such a way that he should be a demon but isnt. I just think it would be a nice touch.

[smollkittykat]

Castiel came back to life after the apocalypse and he could have been a normal angel if he had wanted to.

Instead he immidiately broke into the most secure confinement known to him .The cage in hell where two of the most powerful beings are now locked in with Sam "just a guy" Winchester.

Castiel figured out how to break in, get as much of Sam as he could gather and ran out without either Michael or Lucifer noticing. And he did that while he personally waged war on Raphael to prevent him from restarting the apocalypse.

And he didn't do any of that for Sam. Cas didn't even like him back then. Castiel didn't start the war for himself or the other angels, really.

Castiel came back to life and woke with the purpose to serve Dean.

You love your brother and you did so much, you deserve to have him back. You did so much and now the leaders I should be serving want you to go through it all again, I cannot let that happen.

"I am doing this for you, Dean. I am doing this because of you."
