meg_tdj | Supernatural 3x14: Long Distance Call

Dean, Dean, Dean. It took him this long to fess up to the conversation he'd had with Ruby. I often wonder how things would have gone down if he'd told Sam about it right away. Chances are Sam would have outright killed Ruby in Jus In Bello for leading him along, rather than continuing to trust her, you know? Oh boys, if you'd only learn to TALK TO EACH OTHER.

Dean's comment implying that Sam was keeping just as many secrets as Dean was... a year later, Dean would REALLY find out what it's like for Sam to be keeping secrets, heh. At this point, Sam going off and doing something without telling Dean constituted a secret to worry about. He had no idea what was coming down the road.

I love the long, confrontational scenes between the boys in this episode. I remember at the time we were told that season 4 would have a lower budget, so we'd be given a lot more scenes like that. I didn't mind the thought of that one bit. J&J are at their awesomest when they're just let loose to bounce their dialogue off each other like that.

Loved the scene between Dean and the cop, both of them out for revenge on the wrong person. So awesome and heartbreaking, especially with the whole "Then why are you here?" "I don't know" exchange at the end. Poor guys. Though I thought it was a bit dumb that Dean wouldn't realize the guy wasn't a demon when he came in firing a shotgun. But he was in serious denial at that point, so whatever.

The boys' reactions to John's phone call were spot-on. Dean wanted so badly to believe that his dad would save him in the nick of time, while Sam was looking at the logic of it and felt that something wasn't right. Poor Dean, he was so desperate. And he finally came right out and SAID that he was scared. Sam let him off the hook with it, cutting him off partway through his sentence and saying he understood, but Dean went and said it anyway. He was JUST THAT TERRIFIED, poor guy. :(

That whole final scene was absolutely beautiful. And I'm not just talking visually, though the lighting somehow managed to make both of them look prettier than ever, which is quite a feat. But maaaaan, the emotion on their faces. Just agonizing to watch. And I firmly believe that Sam's "and me" meant a lot to Dean, and deflecting it with sarcasm just seemed more manly than bursting into tears on the spot. ;)

YouTube clip - the final scene. *sniffle*

Randomness -
*Suicide guy from the teaser later appears in The Real Ghostbusters, the guy who the boys bribe for real info at the hotel.
*bustyasianbeauties.com again. *shakes head* With a platinum membership, I'm surprised Dean can ever pull himself away from the computer. :P
*Sam's rental car and setting the alarm when he's walking five feet away from it... ohhhhh man, that cracks me up every single time, LOL. He does the same thing in the next episode, too. I always attribute it to a bit of lingering OCD, that here is something he can keep controlled and orderly in the midst of all the chaos.
*Boy, JDM really phoned in that performance, didn't he? Pfft. :P
*Herman Munster, Dean? Really? LOL
*Whyyyyy is it so sexy when the guy runs that bloody knife through Sam's hair?? I feel so dirty. :P
*It's so very true that we've never been so connected, yet we've never been so alone. Food for thought.

Quotes -

Dean: Pack your panties, Sammy, we're hittin' the road.
