Man, you are so fast with these things! ♥ These are really quick to put together, really. I've got the caps right there, and my recaps to refresh my memory. One rewatch to make sure I'm not missing anything, and bob's your uncle. As usual, with me, it's the editing process that takes longest!
What I love about the nightmare scene, apart from giving me a thrill every time, is that with hindsight we know that Sam having dreams/nightmares is part of the major arc. That one isn't a vision, but still I love how they incorporate one of Sam's mytharc themes so early. We keep coming back to this, don't we - hindsight! It adds so much richness and depth to the show, even the most throwaway details are important.
I very much agree on their different tempers and versions of anger. Dean is hot tempered but his anger is also short lived usually, while Sam's anger can simmer and simmer and slowly kill him from the inside. And I love that Dean still knows that about his brother and adresses it! I think it's safe to say that Dean knows Sam a lot better than Sam knows Dean at this stage. Also, he's had their father's example in front of him his entire life, has seen first hand how destructive vengeful grief can be, and as much as he idolises his dad, I think he'd hate to see Sam end up the same way. He's a mass of contradictions, is Dean, because throughout season one he wouldn't dream of saying a word against John. I don't think he even allows himself to consciously think any criticism of John. But he also tries hard to avoid making the same mistakes and to prevent Sam from following the same path, which speaks volumes.
I also love that so many patterns are established in Wendigo: working things out in bars, their division of work pattern, the fake identities, Sam questioning their father, while Dean just is focused on the job .. lots of dynamics and actions that will come back every now and then in other episodes. I love those reoccuring themes in SN. Mmmm. We've seen it in other shows, how the Pilot establishes the basic premise, but it's the second episode that really sets up the patterns and dynamics of the season to come.
Man, Sam's expression when he looks at Dean at the end when they are sitting on the hood of the Impala gets me every time. That's big brother hero-worship right there! *g* ♥ See how you found so much to love about Wendigo LOL
