04x17: It's a Terrible Life, Supernatural

[starless-planet]

I feel like we all misinterpreted “It’s A Terrible Life”

[monstermoviedean]

extremely unrelated but it was so rude of zachariah to make sam's werewolf ex's phone number redirect to an animal hospital in "it's a terrible life"

DKSLFJDSLDKJFS YEAH i forgot about that

[ladyluscinia]

So I'm going to a Barbie themed party and I think I can pull together a Cool Career Ken outfit.

As in this one:

[wiltedprayers]

does supernatural obvious reference of ‘office space’ (1999) in “it's a terrible life” (04x17) count as another band of brothers-spn interaction? probably not but im always gonna go crazy about it anyway

[hellhoundsprey]

No one (to my knowledge) ever talks about the fact that Brady and Dean Smith are wearing THE EXACT SAME THING and surely this means something?????? And I figure there’s a chance you have thoughts on this.

It’s been a while since you hit me with this one an d I’m still. Not okay.

I. I have. It’s a lot.

We talked about this in private but for the general public let me repeat that, like... 04x17 is an angel-crafted fantasy world for Dean. A manipulative construct to teach Dean a lesson that would push him closer to accepting Michael. It took bits and pieces of Dean’s memory to make it “believeable” and “familiar” so he wouldn’t get suspicious right away.

The parallel to Brady is?? Stunning.

Dean doesn’t get to know Brady as the kind friend Sam had, he only sees him as this spineless, back-stabbing asshole. Only out for himself, conspiring, a snake. A demon, working for the higher-ups, yearning to crawl higher up the carreer ladder himself.

Pretty much a great characterization of Your Typical Corporate Asshole.

But Brady was also a close friend of Sam. So he must have had some good qualities, right? He still must have been attractive and likeable in some way, right? So Smith is that, too, all the while being this superficial, cold bastard.

The pic of Brady above is from 05x20, so rather than Smith adapting Brady’s attire (even the fucking haircut jfc), it’s the other way around. Going full cycle, so to speak. We learn that Brady basically acted as a CEO for a company laced into the Four Horsemen’s plans, putting him into that same role Smith had.

This is such a cool detail I would not have noticed at all but it’S SO COOL HFS. Still reeling. I’m obsessed with this.

[stonersam]

Did you just call me Sammy?

[eepy-pleepy]

Guys I’ve just made an absolutely insane discovery and I am losing my entire fucking mind

04x17 - It's a Terrible Life

MotW: ghost in an office making people work until they kill themselves

Any Cas? Nope

Really??? We go from an episode so focused on Dean's trauma straight onto Dean Smith??? Are you TRYING to kill me????

God, the Dean who was never a hunter is my happy place, he seems so content in this life

Hello there, Zachariah

Dean not knowing Sam is funny, but also I kinda want that for him at this point

Love Sam just telling people to turn their computers off and on all day

Sam googling the word 'vampires' is hilarious and also giving me twilight flashbacks

"I'll never eat popcorn again" HA

God I hate when the deaths play out as suicides

"Not natural" so close, Sam!

He got rid of all the carbs in his house 😂

IT'S THE GHOSTFACERS. THEY'RE FOLLOWING THE GHOSTFACERS' INSTRUCTIONS

Dean caring about his portfolio in the economic recession, i love you maaan

HA @ the ghostfacers hating the Winchesters

They know their stuff, though, they're genuinely a useful resource

"I don't have the rest of my life here" are some painful last words. And that's one REALLY bloody death, yikes

Nice job, boys, I'm proud of you

Dean getting the details of the hunter life spot on and not wanting any of it..

Also "You don't wanna go fighting ghosts without health insurance" is honestly such a good point

Sam wants to believe his life is fake so badly and then Dean is holding on to it so tightly

"My father's name is Bob, my mother's name is Ellen, and my sister's name is Jo" 😭😭😭

Heh, he got an animal hospital when he tried to call Madison. (Get it? Because she's a werewolf? Good stuff)

Hell of a way to quit, Sam. That poor computer

Way to make the corporate life sound good, dude..

"My God, am I hungry" HA

Fuck Zachariah for telling Dean being a hunter is who he is. I get that they need him, but fucking hell

Also, just because he doesn't want to work for this company 24/7 doesn't mean he's rejecting any kind of normal or working life. Nobody should work that much just to fill the pockets of capitalist giants

[monstermoviedean]

dean probably suspects in some dark part of his mind that maybe cas's actions have been specifically to make him miserable. like maybe chuck's been making his life worse via cas

This Isn't True but imagine being in his position

no no exactly and it's not true! none of it is true! but dean has absolutely no way of knowing and once he starts pulling at that thread, there's no telling where it ends. because once he learns that chuck has some control/influence over his life, that chuck has been pretending to be benevolent but has actually been pulling the strings the whole time, where does it stop? and he knows there has been interference before! multiple resurrections, the angels trying to manipulate him and sam into being vessels, a cupid getting mary and john together. i wouldn't say it's a logical leap to jump from "chuck wants me to kill jack" to "everything in my life is an illusion designed to torture me," but i'm also someone who regularly earns an a+ in catastrophizing and i see how he gets there.

so yeah, it's not true! but how is he supposed to know? how is he supposed to find out? it's a paranoid, nihilistic point of view and it's hard to shake. i believe a lot of it (especially the love) was real. but i can see why he can't tell. and i can see why his faith in cas would be so shaken. dean's basically a leaning jenga tower at this point. chuck just removed the "choice" and "free will" and "mary" and "jack" blocks, and shifted the "cas" block so it's not a sturdy foundation anymore. dean pokes at that block and suddenly it's gone, and he starts to wonder whether it was that stable in the first place. i let the metaphor get away from me here sorry but you get it. we know cas is real. dean doesn't.
