watching 07x04 made me think of the 02x19 discourse because dean gets close to saying in that episode that he's not sure if they should stop the ghost because of what the people who are being killed have done ('when did our black-and-white case turn to mud? i'm just saying I'm having a hard time not rooting for the ghosts on this one.') while sam is the one pushing dean to keep working on the case & saying 'it's not on us to judge.' and reminding him that they're not much different than the other victims ('we've shot people, dean – more than two.') continually interesting to see which scenes & ideas the fandom latches onto and which are ignored in favor of holding onto those
#especially because the 02x19 singular line is barely an implication and the 07x04 scene has sam literally asking dean 'so what#you're saying – what? you don't want to work the job anymore?' and then dean leaving to go to the bar#and i'm not saying that dean truly believes they deserve to die but i am saying that i just think it's very clear people are selective#in terms of scenes and characterization they will to pay attention to#07x04#/#star notes
