supernatural s1e2 wendigo (teleplay: eric kripke, story: ron milbauer, terri hughes burton)

(this is a rewatch, so spoilers abound)

quelled my irrational anxiety long enough to start the rewatch and recap what i have not yet recapped and thank fuck for that because not having my scheduled evening task was not going well. i am staunchly ignoring the not-so-distant future where i will again be out-of-task.

fun fact this is the first screenshot i took while watching this show, long before i considered doing these posts. brotherly chat at the fire, if i recall correctly. we'll soon see! thought it'd be a fun easy draw because it's almost entirely dark with the little kiss of light around his profile.

DEAN You okay? SAM Yeah, I'm fine. DEAN Another nightmare? You wanna drive for a while? SAM Dean, your whole life you never once asked me that. DEAN Just thought you might want to. Never mind. SAM Look, man, you're worried about me. I get it, and thank you, but I'm perfectly okay. DEAN Mm-hm.

now if that isn't love

SAM What, are you cruising for a hookup or something? DEAN What do you mean? SAM The coordinates point to Blackwater Ridge, so what are we waiting for? Let's just go find Dad. I mean, why even talk to this girl? DEAN I don't know, maybe we should know what we're walking into before we actually walk into it? SAM What? DEAN Since when are you all shoot first ask questions later, anyway? SAM Since now.

little cheesy in execution (blaming some of this on the music honestly*) but whatever :p sammy's a new man, hardened by his loss and grief 😤

*guess who did the music this episode 🤪

was curious since this is the same director as the pilot, if he did more episodes this seasons - nope, just 1x01 and 1x02. but this little quote on his wiki page

David Nutter, even with his extensive experience in the industry, was impressed by Padalecki and Ackles' chemistry. Never have I done a show where two actors clicked so well together. These guys had never met each other before and it was like they were instantly brothers.S1Com

we're all sending up our thanks for whatever led to them being cast, for real

HALEY Our parents are gone. It's just my two brothers and me. We all keep pretty close tabs on each other.

coming in hot already with sibling parallels. even when john was alive, he wasn't around and dean's the father mother brother situation. and we've got a vulnerable lookin little brother here we're all gonna be fighting over to take care of

DEAN Well, we'll find your brother. We're heading out to Blackwater Ridge first thing. HALEY Then maybe I'll see you there. Look, I can't sit around here anymore. So I hired a guy. I'm heading out in the morning, and I'm gonna find Tommy myself. DEAN I think I know how you feel.

looking for dad, looking for sam after dad is gone...

s1e2 / s5e14

oh, my dear old friend, untitled 1 and 2!! and what kind of background is this! lol my spn desktop background update tag for all my riveting screenshots of their laptop desktop backgrounds - apparently i called this their snazzy background when it was used in s5, but damn dude look at the coloring differences. how warm/red the s5 is in comparison. skateboard on a chest i guess is what's happening there

aw man, apparently the actress playing the sister, gina holden, was claudia stilinski in an episode of teen wolf but her scene got deleted. and little brother there alden ehrenreich was han solo in solo: a star wars story (which i haven't seen.)

i do know i know someone in this episode though, little surprised i didn't do a hey i know you post for it actually. not sure when the first one i did for spn was. s1e11 scarecrow apparently!

s1e2 callum keith rennie as roy / the killing s1e4 as rick felder / the x-files s1e15 as tommy / existenz (1999) as hugo carlaw

we got an xfiles and the killing alum, and he was in existenz! in fact i did a hey i know you for him when i was rewatching the xfiles a few years ago 😂

someone give this child a hug (and the actor was actually a kid, 16)

DEAN Sam and I are brothers, and we're looking for our father. He might be here, we don't know. I just figured that you and me, we're in the same boat. HALEY Why didn't you just tell me that from the start? DEAN I'm telling you now. 'sides, it's probably the most honest I've ever been with a woman. ...ever. So we okay?

oh yeah, dean? what about spilling your guts about all the family secrets to cassie, huh?? lol. gotta maintain your asshole-man image

wonder if the peanut m&ms was the only actual brand placement they did, their production design people were always whipping up fun fake branded drinks and foodstuff

hey, it's one of the xfiles-y sounds (when she says "our packs!") i didn't notice this until way way later. grabbed a clip of it from 10x12 compared to the same effect used in the xf movie fight the future (because i happened to know where the sound was in that movie, it's def a standard xf score sound.) i think it was just a lot more forward in that s10 clip, maybe that's why it caught my ear and had slid by unnoticed before.

cannot get over him looking like the saddest teenaged baby brother in all the lands

DEAN You wanna tell me what's going on in that freaky head of yours? SAM Dean— DEAN No, you're not fine. You're like a powder keg, man, it's not like you. I'm supposed to be the belligerent one, remember? SAM Dad's not here. I mean, that much we know for sure, right? He would have left us a message, a sign, right?

the brotherly chats *chef's kiss*

SAM Then let's get these people back to town and let's hit the road. Go find Dad. I mean, why are we still even here? DEAN This is why. This book. This is Dad's single most valuable possession—everything he knows about every evil thing is in here. And he's passed it on to us. I think he wants us to pick up where he left off. You know, saving people, hunting things. The family business.

the tagline that never dies

SAM That makes no sense. Why doesn't he just—call us? Why doesn't he—tell us what he wants, tell us where he is? DEAN I dunno. But the way I see it, Dad's giving us a job to do, and I intend to do it.

for real, sam. dad's an ass :p i think someone justified it to me that john couldn't contact them directly because of the demons watching him and he didn't want to lead them to the boys

SAM Dean...no. I gotta find Dad. I gotta find Jessica's killer. It's the only thing I can think about. DEAN Okay, all right, Sam, we'll find them, I promise. Listen to me. You've gotta prepare yourself. I mean, this search could take a while, and all that anger, you can't keep it burning over the long haul. It's gonna kill you. You gotta have patience, man. SAM How do you do it? How does Dad do it?

oh, sam.

DEAN Well for one, them. I mean, I figure our family's so screwed to hell, maybe we can help some others. Makes things a little bit more bearable. I'll tell you what else helps. Killing as many evil sons of bitches as I possibly can.

it's this kind of thing that grabbed me by the throat early on. clear communication, sam has been deflecting but he opened up a crack after dean gently pushed again. and dean is honest and kind, trying to take care of sam. ugh. hurt/comfort my beloved.

buh, this action music when roy gets yoinked by the monster is not great.

SAM So we've got half a chance in the daylight. And I for one want to kill this evil son of a bitch.

snorted. i swear sam got stuck with some cheesy lines back in the day. part of my hot take theory of why jackles's acting stood out more to me initially, i think he just got better dialogue. padalecki hit it out of the park with those moments with jackles, but same episode he had a lot of like... i'm taking charge of the situation moments that felt awkward

sammy brooding with dad's journal, dean staring at sam for a very long time, he's just a baby 🥺

we're all having a moment

this is why i reached the 30 image limit when i rewatched 1x01 :p

LOL. we can't swear really, but we're gonna use the hell out of the words we can say

baby brother clinging on to anyone at this point, sammy holding the line

kinda looks like the game of thrones night king lol

via wiki

Eric Kripke had long been critical of this episode, particularly because he felt the creature wasn't successfully scary. "He looked more like Gollum's tall, gangly cousin than anything else", he says in Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 2. However on February 11, 2018 he tweeted: "I have something shocking, even sacrilegious to say: I watched #Wendigo with my son for the first time in over 10 years. And it wasn't bad at all. 2005 effects were lame, but it was scary. Plus young Han Solo! I'm taking it off my shit list. #spnfamily @cw_spn"

inexplicably some sort of jaguar type roar as the wendigo is burning

HALEY So I don't know how to thank you. DEAN smirks lasciviously. HALEY smiles despite herself. HALEY Must you cheapen the moment? DEAN Yeah.

very cute. deflecting from dealing with the gratitude and lightening the moment

DEAN Sam, you know we're gonna find Dad, right? SAM Yeah, I know. But in the meantime? I'm driving.

this scene obviously has been gif'd to death but i didn't really remember the context and it makes it all the better. sam gets to return the very long staring moment, and lets dean give him a little treat to take care of him and make him feel better that he declined earlier

and jared, you made a choice with that expression. I think that look could be enough to launch a thousand ships alone. the line feels like it should be kind of teasing mischievous little brother vibes, but his face says unbearable affection and something I'd expect more out of a romantic-dynamic teasing feel. wild

my cup runneth over

Hi! Can you do Theo for your ask game?

yessir!! thank you for the ask :DD

favorite thing about him: his CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, my GOD. COME ON GUYS CAN WE LIKE. PLEASE. I CANT TALK ABT IT HERE BC IT WOULD DERAIL THE POST BUT YOU UNDERSTAND

least favorite thing about him: popular opinion but his absolutely shithead dumbassery in s5. or the way he just makes it a habit (or a hobby) to piss off people (i think it's actually a good character trait, but it's here because if i knew this fucker in real life i would punch him in the face)

favorite line: listen i cannot pick one right now so lemme highlight this quote from his article on the teen wolf wiki:

brOTP: COREY!! LET'S GO BRYKEN 🗣️🗣️

OTP: THIAM!!!! NEED I SAY MORE

nOTP: ooooo it's between stiles, scott, and malia, i think. it's not like a notp like "ohhhh im gonna attack u and send hate mail to your inbox" it's like i see a ship post involving either of those three and go "hm. okay. anyway moving on"

random headcanon: he's queer! i think he says this to someone post-canon and they're like "... you're what" and he pulls out his phone and it has an achillean flag sticker on it. also! he absolutely has insomnia and almost extreme night terrors, which pisses him off because he can barely get enough sleep as it is in his truck

unpopular opinion: this may anger some people, but i do think that theo's redemption arc deserves to be placed in the same category that zuko from atla is in. there i said it if i'm wrong, then i'm wrong, but by god if those two redemption arcs didn't do the exact same thing to my brain

song i associate with him: if i had to choose one, it would probably be devil town by cavetown! specifically the live at hoxton hall version (the faint voices singing along in the background and the slower tempo make it sound a little haunting, and i'm in love with it)

here's my playlist of him :) (let me be clear: when i make character playlists, it's usually songs that i associate with the character, not necessarily songs i think they would listen to)

favorite picture of him:

just. the way he looks at liam. i need someone to look at me like that fr

[mlobsters]

supernatural s8e18 freaks and geeks (w. adam glass)

it's todd! (i hear he's doing good stuff in the white lotus but i haven't seen it)

the magicians s4e2 lost, found, fucked - adam dimarco as todd

(with our good pal the alpha vampire, rick worthy who is The Best and is so good in that show just talk to me if you wanna watch through end of s4 🥴)

SAM Yeah. Um, Cas dinged you up pretty good. DEAN And? SAM And I just wanted to make sure you're okay. DEAN What, like my feelings? SAM If that's what you want to talk about, sure.

DEAN Okay. I'll tell you what. Why don't I go get some, uh, herbal tea. SAM Okay. DEAN And you can find some Cowboy Junkies on the dial. SAM Eat me, Dean. DEAN And you know what? We'll just talk it out. Good talk. DEAN gets out of the IMPALA and starts walking toward the Sheriff station after SAM. DEAN Nay, great talk! Very healthy!

this is the part of the fic where sam takes him seriously and gets the tea and music and then dean has a breakdown and they cry and kiss it out

baby teen wolf paige back again and think i heard dean's extra big brother mode boot up

KRISSY You know, he does, actually. Oh. A small town called "kiss my ass." AIDEN Okay. But... You sure were giving off a different vibe in the car.

real making out in the car with fake feelings as vampire bait.. and she's how old again? wiki says 15. yeah.... and apparently her dad is dead now too. okay.

KRISSY Look, I don't need you to save me, Dean. I'm not a little kid anymore.

the hug, the mantra. i've watched enough cult documentaries by now....

this is so hamfisted. look how this dude is doing the exact opposite to how sam and dean were raised in hunting. beautiful stable home, hugs, affirmations, schoolwork, mr rogers cardigan. got it, show!!

DEAN This is crazy. SAM Is it? They got a pretty good life. DEAN Kids aren't supposed to hunt, Sam. SAM We did. DEAN Yeah, and look what that did for us. SAM Well, maybe they're doing it right. Maybe they can hunt and have a real life. DEAN You know that's not true. SAM Why, 'cause it didn't work for us? DEAN Because it doesn't work for anybody.

back at this old chestnut

VICTOR You want any? SAM Uh, I don't know. VICTOR pulls out a wallet and starts to bring out pictures of his family. VICTOR Trust me, the answer's yes. SAM These yours? VICTOR Yeah. Well, until we went camping and a Wendigo ripped them to shreds.

trust me, you want kids, here's mine who were brutally murdered by monsters that you also hunt.

VICTOR But you know what I realized, Sam, is that these kids, they don't have to live it the way we have. You know, crappy hotel rooms, always moving, no family, no life. It's not the only way.

is this the very special episode where we (sam) learns that no, you can't live another way, trouble comes home and wipes out your family if you try

or the very special episode where paige learns that things aren't always black and white and maybe a 15 year old can't really do the due diligence

daily thank you that his sideburns have been wrangled. cardigan man up to no good, quelle surprise

cardigan man's logic is not logicking. in the slightest. get a bunch of kids orphaned, get them to kill more innocent people for training. what. right after he scoffed at sam not being able to understand because he doesn't have kids. sam, if you had kids, you'd understand why i had to kill these other kids >:(

jackles sounds like he got padalecki's cold from a couple episodes ago lol

just gonna ignore how that all ended and say the bits with dean and paige were sweet at the end.

DEAN They're hunters now. You don't just walk away from that. There's only one way out of that,and you and I both know it ain't pretty. SAM Maybe they'll be different. DEAN Or maybe if we shut that hell hole once and for and all, those three can have a real life.

lol hero shot "maybe i too could have a real life if we close the gates of hell..."

(nevermind vampires etc wouldn't be affected????)
