Todayās episode of yap ā>
- Sam and Johnās relationship is so complicated and fun like aaaa
- I just love how dramatic it is when the vampires walk in like āohhoho weāre the villains rawrā itās so funny
- But also *nice* leather jacket. Kinda reminds me of Rubyās
- Okay Elkins is like kinda relatable ngl. I too am a paranoid hermit
- They LITERALLY jumped him
- The Colt is genuinely so beautiful I love it
- āIt looks a hell of a lot like dadāsā, āyeah, except this dates back to the 60sā okay now Iām imagining what it was like for John as a new hunter. Like we obviously know this goes back a long, LONG time, and that Mary was a hunter and Johnās own father was a man of lettersānot that he knew thatāso he entered this preexisting space that is NOT kind to newcomers (which is one of the few instances where that is fair), built up a whole network, and became INFAMOUS. Heās known as one of the best and he wasnāt even raised on it. I wanna see failed hunts, I wanna see him think heās insane until he meets his very first real hunter. I think itād be so fun lol
- I know Iāve mentioned it a million times at this point but I always LOVE the sets in this show. Theyāre justā¦really good, and I especially love the motel rooms with papers everywhere and the hunterās cabins strewn with books and beer bottlesāitās just so maximalist in a way I just really really like and makes it clear thought and care were put in. As cool as the bunker is, itās one thing g I mourn because CLEARLY theyāre really good at doing messy, maximalist, reference-heavy sets, and maybe thereās a practical reason they talked about somewhere or Iām stupid, but itās be nice to see at least a little more personalization from the guys. We get a little from Dean, but Sam clearly decorated at least a little back in college, and idk, I feel like Jack especially would have fun making his space his own or leave little trinkets lying about the common areas. Cas probably would be the only one to not really do any of that sort of thing idk
- Both of them jumping when John knocked on the glass gets me every time. Honestly it even jumpscared me lol
- āVampires? I thought there was no such thing?ā Oh crap thatās right! I completely forgot they didnāt even know about them until this episode, dang. Theyāre in like every episode moving forward lol
- Iām sorry but the idea of a little group of vampires having a little party on the side of the road and eating the people that drive by in the middle of the night honestly sounds like fun. Heck, Iād join them /silly
- āI love this shirtā¦:(ā aw let the guy live his shirt is cool, if a little garish
- Oh no way they didnāt hit that guy. No amount of slamming on the breaks would stop them THAT fast orz
- Dean falling asleep and Sam just sitting next to him while John listens to police radio in silence in the dark is just a very particular feeling to me
- Dean waking up like heās completely forgotten where he is every time is adorable, frankly
- āJustā follow me.ā Ah yes, old habits die hard. Ordering your kids around like usual lol
- I want Johnās coat :(
- And of course, Sam asking valid questions and being shit down and told basically to āshut up and follow directionsā as per usual as well
- Maybe Iām overanalyzing, but something something Sam asking for proof that theyāre on the right track and John handing the fang to DEAN instead something something trust
- āHey Dean, why donāt you touch up the car before you get rust. I wouldnāt have given you the damn tho g if I thought you were gonna ruin itā okay yes, heavyhanded, but also if I were in Deanās place I would strangle him on the spot for that oneādad or no.
- āItās just the way he treats us like weāre childrenā see Iām 100% on Samās side here, Iām sorry. There have been a few authority figures in my life, such as teachers, who infantilized me and just barked orders and never answered questions and, safe to say, I was in detention for āāāback talkingāāā a lot. I would have thrown hands if I didnāt feel like dealing with the extra hassle and I still stand by that š
- āRevenge isnāt worth much if you end up deadā good advice. A smart vampire. Iād say the Winchesterās could learn a thing or two, but they donāt tend to stay dead for long, so I suppose it doesnāt matter lol
- Honestly Luther has this whole vibe going on that I kinda dig idk
- āPull off the next exitā, āwhy.ā, ābecause he thinks he caught the trail of the vampiresā, āhow.ā, āI donāt know, he didnāt sayā. This conversation right here just encapsulates the whole situation, doesnāt it? I guess thatās why itās the last straw.
- Completely justified fight ngl
- āYou like to watch? Huh?ā Yeah as if this isnāt some weird forced voyeurism thing
- Does that go in the palm slicing counter or not? Itās not for a spell or anything so I guess not
- I will never get over the creepy piano background music they use when things are tense it just does something to my brain I love it so much. Favorite score in the soundtrack I think idk
- Yippie Samuel Colt mention
- Something about the way the scene where theyāre sneaking into the nest is shot from below and backlit with the bright sun outside and dark interior is really cool to me
- Okay but those hammocks look super comfy
- Another instance of what is DEFINITELY overanalysis, but I just want to point out that John went for the Colt, Sal tried to save the girl, and Dean went to lookout and defend. Somthing about roles and priorities.
- Leaving Sam and John alone in a room is never theā¦best idea
- Iām not gonna quote anything here, but if you know the episode, you know what scene Iām talking about when I say: I freaking love John as a character. I like to make fun of him and I think he was a horrible father who definitely abused his kids and had plenty of opportunities to be better that he didnāt take, but he loves his family. He taught his kids well. He did what he thought he had to. And his motivation and his methods may be off, but I do think he means well. And he loves them. And that makes the whole thing even more complicated. I think Supernatural justā¦does a good job of making their characters feel human. Theyāre not perfect. They make mistakes and dumb decisions and most of the time the consequences are catastrophic. They fight and they have questionable motivations and are blinded by self interest and justify their decisions like thereās no tomorrow and they love each other. And they care for the people around them and they make the world a better place and they make up and they learn and they try to do better and itās justā¦so good.
- I like that, as John goes on, Sam approaches the desk and sits down. Itās a really good way to show visually that heās actually listening and willing to hear his dad out. John doesnāt get up or push him away, either.
- āWeāre not different. Not anymoreā itās honestly true. Dean is practically the mirror image of his dad, and so is Sam. Sam just has all of those INNER traits that make them butt heads so often. All three of them are wildly different people, obviously, but itās always interesting to see what traits they took from their parents and the people around them as they grew up.
- āHey dadā¦what ever happened to that collage fund?ā, āā¦spent it on ammoā. I gotta say, them laughing about that heals a part of me I think lmao
- Dean Winchester, professional grave desecrator
- āDad, all due respect, but thatās a bunch of crapā YES DEAN FINALLY
- Itās ALWAYS Sam whoās the hostage fr
- āYeah, but we saved your assā, āyouāre rightā, āI am?ā
- Hooray for family, however dysfunctional
