#spn s1e12

[1337wtfomgbbq]

Now on s1e12 'Faith' and I think I know why I actually grew to like that episode so much. To me it's one of the first episodes Dean's (and by extension Jensen's) deeper emotions and overarching themes really shine through.

Something I did end up asking myself... Did Mrs. Rourke or Layla herself do something to upset Sue Ann before the whole faith healing started? Because they have been there a BUNCH of times, waited for months, and Sue Ann seemed to be stalling on them.

Or maybe it was just so Roy healing her could have that much more effect on their growing flock of believers?

Dean being given a month to live. Dean being a religious skeptic

S1E12 is really fucking funny in retrospect

i love cas but there is something so special and good about the first three seasons that’s under appreciated

[hellosupernatural]

Season 1, Episode 12, "Faith"

dean is dying (for the first time), the episode

its kind of cool having a cold open right at the end of a rescue mission because thats probably what it looks like from the perspective of the rescuee, suddenly these people just burst in and save you, all heroic and macho

i wonder if the episode's events ever get mentioned again in the show, or if it impacts sam and dean, cause i really dont remember this being a thing aha, although i do remember the monster, i just dont remember dean dying being the reason they happened upon this episode's baddie

its interesting how easily dean accepts his impending death, maybe because he's relieved that neither his brother nor father are dead or dying. thats probably the ideal end for him, one in which he lived his life serving his family, and spent none of it grieving them. but also i can imagine thats sad to him, he would want to be alive to protect them

its so interesting that sam goes to the miracle worker, something that would be a quack job to normal people, but a viable option to sam because he knows the supernatural exists

OMG DARLA FROM BUFFY, i wonder if i recognized her when i first watched the show

dean is reluctant to be healed by the healer. this is really sensible characterization for him that fits in with what i remember of his character in the future. reluctant to accept help, in part because he feels undeserving of such goodness because he himself hasn't done enough good or has done too much bad

omg dean is 27? thats basically my age now...

i know im so biased because i adore benz' performance in buffy and angel, but i just feel like her performance as leyla is so vibrant, she really commands attention

i almost forgot, i started making these episode reactions because i was so in love with julie benz' performance in this episode i wanted to do reviews so i could keep track of guest performances that i felt were genuinely good, and not just good for an SPN filler

its really interesting how sam breaks the news to dean about roy trading life for life thinking he's healing the dying. he talks to dean as if he's apologizing to dean rather than upset at the loss of innocent lives. i wouldnt be surprised if, while unhappy about the death of an innocent man in place of dean, he's mostly ok with the outcome so long as dean is still alive

which kind of reminds me of dean's blase attitude in the beginning of the episode, while unhappy about sam's distress, hes mostly ok as long as he knows sam and dad are alive and healthy

i love every time kripke gets to overlay music on a scene, he's great at picking songs

also, introduction of a reaper! so exciting!

i cant get over how good dean and leyla's chemistry is, it also helps that the two visually look good together, it's a shame this is their only episode together

what a crappy situation, dean feeling like he didnt deserve to live, and feeling like shit that he doesnt want another innocent life to go so he has to prevent leyla from getting healed even though she deserves life

i cant believe dean didnt just snatch the necklace from the reverend's wife

i also wish that dean could just explain whats happening to leyla, but i guess the darkness of the information, knowing that she believed in a god that would support roy's healing, knowing that she just supported a creative string of murders, would probably be even more distressing then just dying

interesting lingering glance when sam is like "you cant just play god." i think that dean wishes he were dying instead of leyla

this is a very good dean episode, i think because its an episode that hits to the core of dean's values/bottom line, which lays an interesting boundary for how viewers should understand him. clarity is so important for any works and its effectiveness, so i think thats what i enjoy about this episode

aww, roy started asking for sue ann. i wonder if he feels the rush of the supernatural when the exchange of life occurs. i also wonder if he sense sue ann was dying

lol, reverend's wife dies and they just drive off real speedily, and the cops dont immediately suspect him

i love dean's carefully blank expression when leyla tells him that the healing didnt work

"it must hurt to believe in something so much only to have it disappoint you like that." ok dean, could be about leyla and roy's healing...OR YOU AND YOUR DAD, DEAN

"if youre gonna have faith, you cant just have it when the miracles happen, you have to have it when they dont." ok leyla...i guess that can also apply to dean and his dad

leyla touches dean's head similar to how the reverend touches the heads of the ailing

"im not much of the praying type, but, im gonna pray for you." ugh, thats such a good line, actually makes me tear up. i find it very relatable. i work in a music ministry, but im not christian, but i still join in some of the prayers because, although i dont believe in god, i believe in many of the sentiments of some of the chants and recitations. if you have the fortune of being with a good group of people, i believe in the importance of sharing those sentiments because, in this case, the good will and well-being of others is more important than the why-of-it, whether through faith to god or otherwise. i think its very significant for dean to want to pray for leyla, not because he believes in god and his ability to help her, but because he himself holds her in his thoughts, and because she believes that the shared good will of people will help heal the people.

anyways, fantastic episode, really up my alley, super tight performances, thematic structure, and character writing. 9/10

OMG wait john winchester not coming to save dean is so funny, god he's the fucking worst. 9.5/10 lol

wait a second, netflix release of supernatural dont have permissions to use the original tracks for the earliest season(s) so the reaper intro didnt use oyster. i pity kripke for such a massacre of his vision. 9.6/10 lol

Dean's a wizard

[this-here-is-not-singing]

course you're not much of a praying type dean you haven't met your angel yet

[turboheller]

it's faith!dean watching hours (41m49s)

[free-to-be-no-one-but-mee]

if i remember correctly, i really really like this episode

this makes dean's last death so fucking stupid too

he looks so fucking sick

the nurses aren't even hot... so i'll die next to my.. brother instead?

he's in a fucking hoodie!!!!!! when ever is he in a hoodie???? ever???

"I DIDNT PICK YOU, DEAN, THE LORD DID" WOWOWWOWOWWW NOW THAT IS FORESHADOWING or you know, we can pretend

they get attatched to people so fucking easily as well? it's probably learned behaviour too because they never stay so they HAVE to form quick bonds with people

"believe in something so much, and have it disappoint you so much" kind of like... your father

god he's such a nice person

"i'm not a praying type, but i'll pray for you"

boy u in for a life

[castielsparkle]

i feel insane . dean and his silly little pop culture knowledge. but. ok listen. in s3e11 dean brings up x-files. in s4e3 he meets his grandpa samuel campbell. played by fucking. mitch pileggi. who. plays. skinner x-files. then in s4e5 dean brings up x-files again. earlier, in 2006, during faith s1e12, we see layla played by julie benz. she also plays rita in dexter starting in . well. also 2006. in s6e8 dean makes a reference to dexter tv show. and also! in s3e12 we see nancy played by aimee garcia. who later plays jamie in dexter (2008 was the spn ep air year, 2011 the dexter ep and then until the initial series' ending) anyways all of this to say do you think dean ever Like. ponders. Or. oh god wait also in s3e5 christopher cousins plays a very prevalent role. he also plays ted beneke breaking bad. dean references breaking bad at least once in s9e2. possibly again in s9e5. i feel insane. anyways this concludes all that
