So there's a whole lot of gay going on in this episode. This one of the first times my mother has commented on it, but, um, yeah. Gay.
I do love that Dean, apparently, doesn't have a safeword - or, at least, doesn't want to share it with the Chief. I kind of want to see a missing scene Dean/Chief or Dean-and-Chief one shot. Please, fandom?
Anyway, I made a post ages ago about how incest is the Chekov's gun of this season. No matter where we go - back in time, to Las Vegas, to the middle of nowhere - incest rears its ugly head. This is like Chekov's diamond encrusted show cannon on display in the middle of the stage. I have no idea what's going on and am so confused.
I say this because the parallels between the old men and the Winchesters were so obvious as to be gag inducing and even my definitively heteronormative homophobic mother thought that the old dudes were pretty gay for each other. (I know it means nothing when I think they're gay.) The men - or two of them anyway - couldn't imagine living without each other, would kill to keep each other alive and immortal, wanted to be together forever - which was Sam's song this episode, too. IDK, but growing old and gray together (being like Bobby together) is definitely a romantic notion in my mind.
That said, I think Sam is totally going darkside so that he can grow old with Dean. Which is a really awkward thing. I mean, I'm kind of planning that in my incestuous Big Bang fic, but... that's my incestuous Big Bang fic. I'm not sure what to do with this in my canon, you know?
Maybe I'm reading too much into things. This is totally possible. But the parallels feel too glaringly obvious. They're too devoted (we know this, the Trickster told us this). They love each other too much. They're too close. Their world is too claustrophobic. They turn to what they know - each other, hunting things, saving people, losing themselves - when they can't save the world. Their world is shrinking and they've got each other and don't seem to know who to trust - except Ruby? She's a baffling card here.
Ruby's scene bothered me. I feel like it's poor writing - dancing around the subject and making it sound overly sexual when I really don't think that it is. They can do better than that. In any case, the thing that Sam wasn't willing to do, but now is - I am torn: is it murder or torture? Or BOTH?
I think that the Winchesters are going to be going darkside this season. I mean, to an extent, Dean already is and I think Sam is heading that way to save Dean. I wonder if by the finale they will be the murders and sociopaths that Hendricksen claimed they were.
Thoughts?
