#gratuitous camera angles

Ever since she died Mary’s received more attention from Dabb than she did in three years on the show - fourteen seasons, and nothing’s changed. Dabb never unfridged Mary, he just fridged her in slow motion.

There’s a black-and-white photo of Sam Smith on the table. It’s very obviously a photo of Sam and not of Mary, because apparently in three years Mary was never involved in a single scene that might have merited a sentimental photoshoot. It feels anachronistic, out of place. It feels less like a farewell to Mary than a farewell to Sam, a quick ‘Thanks for sticking around even though we never made you a series regular, since that type of honour can only ever go to men and Mark Pellegrino clearly deserved it more than you or Ruth.’

Dean gives a touching speech that reminds us why we couldn’t care less about Mary’s death to a bunch of people we neither know nor care about.

It’s all very sad. Or at least it’s supposed

Then - an axe. Random dude drops dead.

Sam and Dean look around with mild curiosity: Has an interesting plot finally arrived on their doorstep?

But no, it’s just AU!Bobby who decided to Make An Entrance™ at his girlfriend’s funeral like the psychopath badass he is.

He informs us that dead dude was a wraith. Considering we never got to know AU!Bobby anymore than Mary I’m not going to take his word for it. Maybe he just likes axing people.

Either way, it all feels off, and tone-deaf.
