Parallel - 21

Both Pen and Lisa believe at first that Roxy is a female figure: Garcia is convinced that she is his girlfriend (she also says it to JJ in 12x3); Lisa thinks that she is his daughter. But there is a not so little difference: while Luke wants Penelope to believe it, he doesn't imagine that Lisa does.

i know dean didnt say anything because he didnt want sam to know about his embarrassing texts but consider this:

sam not getting to hear that his mom loves him

I’m gonna need to rewatch 12x4 (my favorite ep) as a pallet cleanser after this holy fuck.

Is it just a side effect of being somewhat disappointed in who Jensen presents himself in recent years, or is it normal that I find Dean's sad monologues less meaningful and more over dramatic the more times I watch supernatural?

For me, many of the earlier ones hold up well, but him talking to his dad’s grave in What is and What Should Never Be just feels a bit silly now. Like, that’s not even your real dad’s s grave, dude. And the mirror scene in Regarding Dean feels a bit self-indulgent. Even him talking to Mary inside her head just seems like … too much? It’s like I can feel the show going, “Get ready for it … we’ve got a scene coming up where Dean is going to emote all over you! Cue up the one perfect man tear!" Or the whole over the top apology to Castiel in purgatory.

It could just be the natural effect of rewatching, but I often find the emotional monologues less impactful. Yet, I still enjoy watching Jared play soulless Sam, and looking at how different he is from normal Sam. Or seeing how he deteriorated during the trials era.

I guess I’m just wondering if I’m just biased now. Or if there is a more legitimate reason that Jensen’s emotional scenes loose effect on me while Jared’s characterization still fascinated me.

There’s a reason why I didn’t choose the scenes you mentioned for my "Jensen’s best acting" posts.

I suspect the main issue was the lack of organic build up so it felt slightly out of the left field. Look at the ~build up to Dean's emotional conversation to Mary in 12x22:

12x3 - Dean refuse to look at Mary when she tries to day good-bye

12x4 - Dean wonders why Mary isn't calling or texting him

12x6 - Dean wouldn't talk to Mary

12x7 - Dean is angry that Mary isn't calling or texting him

12x12 - Can't remember if Dean and Mary interacted while Sam was killing Ramiel.  

12x13 - Dean bans Mary from the bunker

12x15 - 12x20: Dean is mad that Mary isn't calling or texting him

The saving grace of Dean's speech in 12x22 was it was about how Mary's demon deal had destroyed Sam's life and her death destroyed the family. This speech was a long time coming and it need to happen, but the build up to it should have been better executed.

Dean's apology-prayer in 15x09 also didn't have an organic build up, which was why Jensen comes off as overacting.  They didn't spend any time showing why Benny was such a big deal, he wasn't even in the “Then” portion of the intro, so the general audience had no clue who this Benny is because he was last seen 7 seasons ago. Then this was supposed to be the build up to Dean's apology-prayer: 

Dean: I know you’re sorry about mom

Cas: I’m so over your dead mother. I was talking about Jack

Dean: *shocked pikachu face*

In contrast to 4x11 when Dean revealed to Sam about his time in hell and broke down into an emotional confession how after 30 years on the rack, he broke and took up torturing souls and he liked that.  That breakdown makes sense because the preceding episodes were building up to Dean’s breakdown and he earned the right to do so.

It just makes me so happy that in 12x4 we get “‘cause Yaz… can tell you… what this is” / “it’s a camera” and then in 12x5 we get “ISN’T that correct, Liaison Officer Khan?” / “ABsolutely correct”; back to back episodes of the Doctor tossing her the ball in front of their foes and Yaz improvising back without even blinking. The teamwork, the trust, the shared dance they’re clearly both so delighted to be doing! The way Yaz feeds off the Doctor’s cockiness and it becomes hers too! I just!

#and then one episode later yaz is begging for an independent project and unhesitatingly following unknown teleports #this ship is the ship of dreams (and devastation) #doctor who #thirteen x yaz #thirteenth doctor #writing

What she says, what he thinks What she says: Oh, my gosh, this whole time this is the Roxy, like the Roxy you said like adores you, like how could any female not be, you know, intoxicated by your masculine wiles. What he thinks: Any female includes you?

that gifset from 12x4. “pain purges sin” “no, it doesn’t.” screaming abt this forever. because like. post s6 we don’t get to see sam angry. ever. except for a few rare moments where he is angry on someone else’s behalf. and then he’s pissed. and it’s fantastic on one hand because sam going off on someone for being an awful human being on behalf of a teenager that wasn’t able to stand up for themselves is!! yeah!! and then on another level it’s even more impactful because he’s also being angry on behalf of himself.

he doesn’t let himself ever directly express anger about what happened to him, about what he went through, about what he did to himself !! but he lets himself be angry for what happened to others, and that’s the closest he gets to acknowledging he didn’t deserve what happened to him, and it’s so.

your psychic child is not inherently evil. she is not the devil. her pain will not purge her perceived sins. you killed your own child. she did not deserve what happened to her. he’s talking about magda and he’s talking about himself and this is the only time he will ever let himself talk about himself like this.

and that’s also really narratively interesting, considering sam has always had the most intense character moments through other characters. example—john wanting sam killed never manifests in john ever physically pointing a gun at sam, but sam points a gun at madison. sam points a gun at jake talley. sam points a gun at the rugaru jack. that’s how we get to see the intensity of john and other hunters thinking sam deserves to die.

in the first few seasons, sam’s character arcs are helped along by these mirrors and parallels. and then in the later seasons, when the writers have given up on him/he doesn’t have the energy to care about himself, sam’s character lives in mirrors and parallels.

and there’s just something so. like. batshit insane to see. when this pattern of sam + parallels started out with him killing characters that were mirrors of him, and then, after he’s been through so much, after he’s wanted himself dead, sam + parallels is the only way he is able to express any kindness and sincerity toward himself, any anger on his own behalf, any grief for what he lost of himself. it’s this narrative theme that started as something that showed him his own death and then, though it continued to be that (rowena! his own soulless self! etc!), it also turned into a last, desperate means of empowerment.

i was not inherently evil. i am not the devil. pain will not purge my perceived sins. people who were supposed to love me tried to kill me. i do not deserve what happened to me. character parallels are the only way he gets to even acknowledge the truth of what happened to him. it’s. it doesn’t happen often enough, but when it does, it’s so much.
