[completelymindfucked]

Can we all talk about the fact that Sam did see Dean old? Sure he didn’t get to grow old alongside Dean and be able to compare/tease Dean about grey hairs & wrinkles and all that, but he did get to see his big brother old. I feel like that could of possibly been a bit of a comfort for Sam, even though Dean didn’t get the life Sam wanted for him.

Rewatching The Curious Case of Dean Winchester

Welcome to “Toothpicks and Dimples and Honor Among Thieves: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog” with Lor and Mace!

Up today, s5e7: The Curious Case of Dean Winchester.

Bobby makes a bid to join Sam and Dean’s League of Extraordinary Idjits by playing a supernatural card game with a devilishly handsome magic man, in which the stakes are years of your life instead of money. He loses, because of course he does. And then Dean rushes off to try to win back Bobby’s years. And loses. Because of course he does. So Dean walks out of the game an old man, and the three of them start scrambling to figure out how to beat Hottie McCardshark. (Folks, this dude is ATTRACTIVE.) And then Sammy, who has been feeling that Dean is treating him like a little kid - you guessed it - plays to save Dean. No one seems to think he can do it, but of course he pulls through with an impressive bluff. Amongst all the card playing, there’s a sweet and sad little story about the cardshark’s wife being unhappy with their everlasting lot, and a not-so-sweet side bit with Bobby being ableist and sexist.

supernatural s5e7 the curious case of dean winchester (teleplay sera gamble, story sera gamble, nancy klein)

DEAN Hope I got that kind of kick when I'm his age.

SAM Yeah, like either of us will live that long.

DEAN True.

last time this came up, it was the other way around. but this feels like a throwaway comment anyway.

from s4e12 criss angel is a douchebag:

DEAN Man...hope I die before I get old. Whole thing seems brutal, don't it? SAM You think we will? DEAN What? SAM Die before we get old. DEAN Haven't we both already? SAM You know what I mean, Dean. I mean, do you think we'll still be chasing demons when we're 60? DEAN No, I think we'll be dead...for good. What? You want to end up like -- like Travis? Huh? Or Gordon, maybe? SAM There's Bobby. DEAN Oh, yeah, there's a poster child for growing old gracefully. SAM Maybe we'll be different, Dean. DEAN What kind of Kool-Aid you drinking, man? Sammy, it ends bloody or sad. That's just the life.

sidenote i was too depressed to comment on it at the time but, GORDON??? sterling k brown is only 2 years older than jackles lol wtf this is like pretending jdm is old enough to be their dad when in reality he's only 12 years older than jensen. ALSO, i never have understood that comment about bobby. what's wrong with bobby?!

he looks so familiar but can't place him in anything other than maybe cybill (again!? lol) maybe just one of those people that's been small parts in so many things they've become generically familiar

DEAN Bobby's an idiot. That's what happened.

BOBBY Hey, nobody asked you to play.

DEAN Right. I should have just let you die.

BOBBY And for damn sure, nobody asked you to lose!

SAM It's like Grumpy Old Men.

DEAN and BOBBY Shut up, Sam.

okay, that was cute. old dean and bobby have good chemistry!

DEAN Yeah, I get it, Bobby. You saw a chance to turn the hands of the clock back and get out of that damn chair. Pretty tempting. I can imagine.

BOBBY No, you can't.

DEAN You got me. I never been paralyzed. But I tell you something—I've been to hell, and there's an archangel there wanting me to drop the soap. Look at me! My junk's rustier than yours! You hear me bellyaching? Huh?

i'm going to choose to interpret that as metaphorical soap dropping and not actually on the torture menu in hell. is this... a way of saying they're waiting for him to die and return to hell? is that what would happen? i assumed he was clean slated what with cas's "gripped you tight and raised you from perdition" business. maybe my brain is scrambled by the casual rape threat mention.

SAM No, you'll die if you lose, Bobby.

BOBBY So what if I do, huh? What exactly am I living for, huh? The damn apocalypse? Watching men die bloody while I sit in this chair, can't take a step to help 'em?

DEAN Bobby—

BOBBY No, no. It's the facts. I'm old...and broke down...and I can't...

BOBBY I ain't a hunter no more. I'm useless. And if I wasn't such a coward, I'd have stuck a gun in my mouth day I got home from the hospital.

what did i say about this ableist bullshit!!

was lookin to see if i'd seen the witch in anything, nothing jumping out at me but he played azazel in some tv movie, which made me laugh :)

DEAN It's too damn clean in here. First witch I ever heard of didn't spew bodily fluids all over the place.

dean and his witch-bodily-fluids thing.

from s3e12 malleus maleficarum

DEAN I hate witches. DEAN They're always spewing their bodily fluids everywhere.

and need i remind everyone of ruby's mystery black juices to fix dean in that episode!

nice to see him happy. shame old dean's actor wasn't in a different role, he and bobby would be a fun pair bitching at each other on the regular. needs someone other than the kids to play off of.

DEAN Fair enough. You're not useless, Bobby.

BOBBY Okay. Good talk.

DEAN No, wait a minute. Listen to me.

DEAN You don't stop being a soldier 'cause you got wounded in battle. Okay? No matter what shape you're in, bottom line is, you're family. I don't know if you've noticed, but me and Sam, we don't have much left. I can't do this without you. I can't. So don't you dare think about checking out. I don't want to hear that again.

BOBBY Okay.

DEAN Okay. Good.

well. i'm glad they addressed this. but it's a tired ableist trope that i wish wasn't in everything when someone needs a wheelchair.

BOBBY Thanks. Now, we done feeling our feelings? 'Cause I'd like to get out of this room before we both start growing lady parts.

i try to ignore these types of lines but believe me i'm sighing and rolling my eyes at every damned one.

[picklesinabottle]

The Curious Case of Dean Winchester is SO funny because like. Aw, poor little piss boy witch wants to kill the michael sword? Good luck with that

[shallowseeker]

💔Bobby

BOBBY: So what if I do, huh? What exactly am I living for, huh? The damn apocalypse? Watching men die bloody while I sit in this chair, can't take a step to help 'em?

DEAN: Bobby—

BOBBY: No, no. It's the facts. I'm old...and broke down...and I can't...

BOBBY takes a moment to breathe.

BOBBY: I ain't a hunter no more. I'm useless.
