I was also going to point out the Colt; yes, Bobby's working on it when Sam calls him.
Timeline question: By my calculations that puts us around about the end of May.
Really? Do you have your timeline up somewhere? Do we really have any idea when AHBL took place? I was thinking it was about June/July, and that TKAA was in July or early August. If it's significantly earlier than that it'll joss something I'm working on....
I'll have to watch the episode again, because there are some lines that I think are transcribed incorrectly, but can't be sure without it to listen to again ("Whoever broke in here got tacked," Sam observes. I think it's "tagged," for example). But isn't the other hunter's name Creedy, not Creely? (This is a reference to the character McCreedy in the movie "Bad Day at Black Rock.")
Sam at that age was looking outward at the world, wanting to be a part of it, and willing to defy John to achieve it. Dean, on the other hand – around about the immediate post-Striga period as this would have been, since he was 10/11 in the Something Wicked flashbacks – was looking inward, within the family, focused completely on being who his father wanted him to be, and drawing all his pride and satisfaction, and the parental approval he craved, from that. Still does even now. Playing soccer and winning a trophy may have been the closest Sam ever got to being a real boy – but Dean, it has always been clear, never even got that close, nor ever entertained the possibility of it. Their childhood experiences were so very different, just four years apart.
Yup. Exactly. Great point about how soon after the Fort Douglass incident that would have been and how Dean clearly put his head down and got serious about John's lessons in its wake.
In another life, Dean would have made an awesome cop.
I've thought this before, too. :Fights the plot bunny!
Sam sees the rabbit's foot lying nearby and reaches out for it, although what good he expects it to do is beyond me, since he doesn't know what it is or does.
Well, it was their mission to get the foot. He's showing fortitude and opportunism to grab the foot first, then worry about getting out of the choke-hold. After all, he's used to that.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Wayne is aiming at Sam's neck, rather than head, I feel I should point out, because, of course, Sam is a giant.
I was going to say "You try lifting you arm when it's wounded" but I think it was his left shoulder and he's holding the gun in his right hand. Um... Planning for the recoil? Yeah, that's it.
Hearing the thud, Dean skids to a halt, gets a pricelessly resigned I don't believe it, dare I even look expression on his face, and turns to see Sam gingerly prising himself up from the asphalt. "Wow. You suck," he announces, moving to pick his brother back up.
ABSOLUTELY. I am so in complete love with the way Dean relates to Sam from this point on. The way he runs a few more paces before realizing, "Sam's not with me" - and the way he reacts to the pratfall in the apartment, as you said, not twitching, nothing but eyes? PRICE. LESS.
I Want So Much More Dean-at-11/12/10 and Sam-at-7/8/6 Fic Now.
