Brother moments

[DeanandSam]

Your welcome shadowhund, I enjoy writing it so I am glad you enjoy reading it


Season one episode three

I didn't particuraly enjoy this episode; it did provide, however, a cute scene in the Cafe. Sam is wanting to just find their father being very impatient, while Dean is wanting to follow what ever coordinates their dad gives them so they would hunt. Sam, being stubborn won't listen, and until Dean gives him that stern look with that tone of voice, which spoke volume of how very parental Dean was to Sam in the earlier seasons. I know they can't go back to that because they have been through so much. Dean know sees Sam as an equal, a man, who is entitled to make his own choices and speak for himself, but in the earlier season Dean did not give Sam that entitlement. Watching now, and then shows a huge contrast to how their relationship changed. I would saw it changed for the better too. But through it all, Sam will always be Sammy in Dean's eyes. That much is true.

Agreed. "Saving people, hunting things..." That's the show in a nutshell. I, too loved that scene. :heart:

But I still cannot choose just one brother moment. there are just too many.

What a sweet thread to come back to.

On the lighter side of things, I add Tall Tales (yes, the entire episode) to the list.

Ah, it was you! Did you go power mad and start committing random acts of vandalism or is there a longer story behind this?

(Both I'm guessing. "definitely a madman with a box")

Thanks for reminding me. I'll get right on that.

Don't you dare, I know how to use the smite button and I am not afraid to use it

Season one Episode four

This is the episode where I found Dean to be completely adorable in his fear of flying. I think this episode really showed that while Sam is the younger one in need of protecting all the time, he still manages to look out for his older brother by trying to have Dean focus and keep calm when they are on the airplane. A little role reversal there, but Dean still manages to protect and care for Sam in his own way. That little scene in the beginning where we get a small view of Dean's perky ass, we find out Sam hasn't been sleeping well. In which Dean reminds him he can't let the things they do get the better of him. He needs to stay sharp and focused. It was a good episode, not my favorite, but it still provided a decent cohesive story line that was clear. Which is what I enjoyed about season one. It's like there is a mystery as to what will happen next, but at the same time the writers provided a direction in to the plot, where you as a viewer understood.

Season one Episode five

Many great scenes in this episode. I guess the obvious scene would be the one where sam and Dean confront bloody mary, just because Dean is very gentle with Sam in making sure he was alright.

I can't go with that scene how ever, I liked how the episode slowly built up to Sam's nightmares and the not sleeping, Dean let him be because he knew that Sam has been through a lot, so he let him handle the situation himself. But by the end of the episode Dean couldn't stay quiet for long. That scene where it was night, and cold and raining, Sam and Dean are in the car and Dean just lays it all on Sam. Telling him that he has to deal with his nightmares, that Jessica wouldn't want him to blame himself. It was such a great big brother scene. I think it shows that Dean lets same have his Independence by going about life by his choices, while Dean is on the sidelines knowing that the choices this kid is making will hurt him in the long run, but it's up Sam to figure that out himself. When he doesn't figure out how to fix the problem, that's when Dean usually steps in and is forced to handle it for him.

Season one Episode Six (Skin)

Very good episode. I thought it provided many insight in to the past life of Sam and Dean, but also Dean's inner thoughts. I think deep down Dean was a bit envious of Sam and the fact he was able to stand up and say he wanted a life out side of hunting, and even though his Dad disapproved he still did what he believed in. Dean never got that chance, he could, but it has been instilled the life of hunting and looking out for his brother. I don't think Dean could have accomplished his dreams just because his brother left to Princeton, because if he leaves who will look out for his father? Dean had to bear through a lot. He loves Sam to the point that he wants his brother to do well in life, but at the same time he was envious of him. That was in the first season, I think things have shifted in present life. VERY GOOD EPISODE. Many great scenes but I thought being able to see inner thoughts that Dean hides deep down, was great to see.

"Skin", the first epic fight between Sam and not!Dean. I thought the line from not!Dean to Sam about Dean resenting their dad "doting" (was that the right word?) on Sam was an obvious lie since what "doting" dad kicks his son out of the house and leave him with no means of support? It makes more sense that the buried resentment comes from envy that Sam was able to stand up to their dad and carve out a life of his own, however briefly. Having watched "Defending Your Life" tonight again, that Egyptian dude made it clear that much of Dean's guilt, however undeserved, stems from damning Sam with him rather than be alone.

Interesting! Thank you that you're here and write out your thoughts. It brings smoething different to light for me!

So what do you think of Dean in the early years? Do you think Dean enjoyed the hunting life he lived??

I am right now rewatching old episodes and I have to say the Dean of old is gone and I can't find him anymore, its sad for me. I have the impression that Dean enjoyed the life style back then and reproached Sam his try to live a normal life. He wanted clearly that Sam cut his strings to the normal life and even said that he couldn't have normal!

*sigh* the old episodes

Yes I do think Dean enjoyed hunting then and now for the simple universal fact that people don't change. The times Dean doesn't enjoy as much is when Sam is not well - first from John's last command to kill Sam if he couldn't be saved to Sam's power coming to the forefront to the Devil gunning for Sam to Sam's soulless state and now his mental illness. During the last half of season 6 we saw the return of "Dean of old" because he got his real brother back, alive and healthy with no hint of his powers, and the hell memories safely locked behind a wall so Sam didn't have the post-hell issues as Dean did. All that went into the crapper thanks to Cas.

People don't change, their tastes and style will change but not the core of the person. I loved roller coasters as a kid and over time the love of speed and thrill changed over to motorcycles. My oldest was horse crazy and now she rescues cats and practically runs the local cat shelter.

Who are you re-watching with?
Oh, well it is kinda depressing watching old episodes... Now about Dean... Dean had never had the chance to see what normal life feels like... He was forced to join the hunter's life right after his mom died and this kind of life became normal to him...
As the years went by, I think he learned to love it. He viewed John as a hero and for him all that mattered was that he, Sam and John were together.
I think Dean began to view thins differently after John's death and the reveal about Sam's destiny. I don't think that until then he ever thought that he could lose John and especially Sam. And I think that after all that happened to him (Sam's death, him going to hell, Sam drinking demon blood, the Apocalypse, losing Sam again, having him back soulless at first and with a damaged soul later, losing Bobby) he got so tired that he would really love to withdraw from all this shit...

Sam on the other hand experienced the complete opposite. Sam never wanted to accept the hunting life. He never viewed his family as normal. He viewed his family as cursed.
Up until Jessica's death he really thought he could get away. But with her death came nightmares. Nightmares that later became visions. And finally he has to deal with his own dark destiny... First he finds out about John's last words to Dean but he can't possibly understand what this means. When he finds out about the demon blood, he doesn't even have the time to think about it, because he gets killed and when is brought back he has to face Dean's deal and the possibility of his brother going to hell because of him.
I think that Sam deep down was always counting on Dean to protect him. Next to Dean he felt safe. Add to this the fact that he loves Dean more than anyone in the world (just like Dean loves Sam more than anyone in the world) and you can see why Sam became a ghost of himself after Dean's death (not to mention the feeling of guilt that Dean went to hell because of him and no matter how hard he tried he wasn't able to save him in the end).
I think that Dean's death was the point that Sam gave up. Not just normal life, but life in general. And especially when he found out about how demons had been controlling his life since he was a little kid and that his destiny was to become Lucifer's vessel, he realized that he would never be able to get away from hunting life. All he could do is fight evil. Not just to save others, but himself as well...

It's funny how during the years, we have the brothers saying to each other "you were right about that"... Sam admitting that when Dean told him that they can't be normal he was right and Dean saying how he'd wished for Sam to be able to live normal.

The thing is that I miss the old Dean. Sam has changed aslo, but not as much as Dean. Dean seems to have given up and even though this sounds logical after all he's been through, I still think that the old Dean would not give up no matter what...

For me, I don't think Dean so much enjoyed hunting more then he doesn't know anything else. It's always been instilled in him to look out for his brother and to hunt. I just go back to that sad episode where Dean faced off his demon self. It was heartbreaking because you saw hoe much he bottles in. If he enjoyed hunting to much he wouldn't have come to his brother so they help looking for his father. Sam told him he could do it himself in which Dean replied, "Yeah, but i don't want too."

Season One Episode Seven (Hook Man)

I honeslty have nothing to say about this episode because I can't remember any brother moments If anybody else wants to pitch in and give their thoughts on it, be free too. I just didn't care for this episode for some reason, so I am coming up blank.

[benson35]

o.k. I'm going to go out on a ledge here and say we'll get lots of brotherly moments in this upcoming episode. Whether its fighting or angst or just brotherly bonding regarding the birds and the bees lol.

Looking forward to them protecting each other.

I hope you are right. I am not hugely optimistic about this one tbh but I hope I'm wrong.

[benson35]

Stick with me geordiegirl lets send them bi-bro thoughts and maybe it will happen. I know we've been hugely disappointed in the past but hey....theres always the next episode lol.

[DeanandSam]

Season one Episode 8 (Bugs)

I think the only scene my brain can remember from this weak episode is the scene were the bees attack. I just remember all of them huddling together and Dean covered Sam and tried to make sure he doesn't get stung lol. Yeah, I think that's all I enjoyed. Also, that Dean kept trying to reassure Sam that there dad was just trying to do the best that he possibly could, but Sam is stubborn, so what are you going to do *Shrugs*
