Oh my Chuck, I can't believe I did it.
I finally fulfill my Supernatural fandom trope and make a dear friend watch the series from the beginning and guide her through the first two episodes. I have no shame, and I will end up in the same place in hell as many others here that committed the same sin.
The worst part is I start the mandatory re-re-re watch from the beginning of the thing 😓.
And the first thing I can't believe I noticed yesterday on the 2025 year of our overlord and savior Misha Collins. Is that when Dean drives Sam to his apartment to join Jess, he Leaves! The impala goes fast on his way.
In my mind I always thought Dean stayed at the door for a while watching his little brother enter the building and stuff, like he did that time with Cas at the 7/11. You know, to watch him go, know that he is safe and... Ohhh! I forget, that's just a platonic I want to watch your ass Bro thing.
Why did Dean return? How did he know this was happening? Sam's screaming, and the fire couldn't be audible or visible even in the rearview mirror of the Impala.
But I watched with my two eyes as Dean just punched the gas and straight up left as soon as Sam got out of the car. Because, by the time Sam enters the apartment, opens the door, basks in the darkness, and calls for Jess... until the moment he lays down on the bed... the Impala was probably 2 miles away.
Obviously some Bibro wrote a 3-page essay about the Bro bongage (I learned that from Misha 😏) between Bros that let up Dean to probably park just a block away. But still, I can't believe I just noticed this detail 20 years later. I watched this pilot the month it was aired on TV, as the gods of entertainment of that era demanded. And rewatch it at least 30 times, even in slow mode, to make an edit.
But alas, this was the first thing I found like a plot hole or a curious thing about the pilot once I rated it perfect.
