What's dead should stay dead.

One of the many lines that are funny on a rewatch.

epic love story of sam and dean | 02x04

You and Dad... you're the most important people in my life. And now... I never should've come back, Sam. It wasn't natural. And now look what's come of it. I was dead. And I should have stayed dead. You wanted to know how I was feeling. So tell me. What could you possibly say to make that all right?

watching s2 and reminded of one of the silliest, weirdest, and tbh best lines of spn dialogue: "It takes two to... you know... have hardcore sex." -Dean (s2, e4) it always throws me for a loop and I never remember it's coming, it's great

Dean: What's dead should stay dead.

Lol this is the most hilarious thing he's said to date.

Also honestly for Sam seeing Dean falling tf apart constantly like over and over again must be really difficult. Imagine having to deal with your brother being suicidal for 15+ years like that's a lot of "why am I not enough for you to want to stick around?" 😬

Also once again. What happened to Stanford era Dean that made him open up about everything like it's wild bc it really seems like Sam never really saw this side of Dean before. I can understand Dean feeling like he needed to hide everything growing up due to being in a parentified role (thanks @angelsdean) until Sam left for college but like something had to have happened to Dean during the time he was away to make him act different now.

Dean looking at a gravestone that says "loving father" when John like barely loved Dean the way he deserved to be loved. Heartbreaking.

Sam wanting to see Mary's gravestone is interesting though considering he didn't really know her hmm.

fuck forgot to do this yesterday, so now you’ll get two eps at once

Bloodlust hits really different on rewatch

first time around the focus was on the argument between the brothers, on Dean taking Gordon’s side and Sam arguing for a more shades of grey approach to hunting, and then the gradual crumbling of Dean’s more black and white worldview, which without the context we later get was almost theoretical

but this time the ep was all about Dean’s struggle with the knowledge John left him with: that there is something monstrous about Sam, that Dean might have to kill his own brother. it’s really fascinating how clearly that theme is there once you know what to look for: Gordon killing his vampire sister. Dean looking uncomfortable with Gordon’s conviction that the world is black and white. Dean’s immediate guilt when he’s hit Sam, and the almost relief he seems to feel about letting the vampire live

also: poor innocent babies, they’re so uncomfortable with a severed head in a box

Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things...whoo boy

i had completely forgotten about that crying confession of Dean’s feelings at the end of the ep. “what could you possibly say to make that alright?” shit, i think i repressed this, it’s way too heartbreaking, especially when Sam can’t say anything. he looks so lost, confronted with Dean’s feelings, he’s been yelling at Dean to tell him what’s going on, to deal with his feelings in a healthy manner, and then Dean opens up and Sam is utterly unable to comfort him

other than that, there’s much weird angry-flirting going on in this ep, a kind of constant push and pull, like they’re daring each other to...idk, do something to break the growing tension between them. and so much weird codependent shit: Dean not wanting to let Sam visit mom’s grave alone, Sam hiding a pleased grin when it turns out there was a case and Dean is angry at him just to make a point, Dean flashing an unwitting smile when Sam confesses being afraid of losing him...they’re so angry at each other and so desperate for each other and so in sync despite everything

also: Dean is just so pretty in this ep, is that some Manners magic? or maybe it’s that open shirt and rare v-neck, he should have worn those more often 

also also, hadn’t noticed it before, and i don’t know if it was already present in previous eps, but besides the samulet Dean is wearing something with a silvery ball chain around his neck. i would guess John’s dog tags, but Sam buries a set of them at Mary’s grave, so idk, could there be two sets?
