i like the implication in 7.03 that sam had to do the research for john and dean, probably to protect him and keep him out of harm's way. which means that he's not necessarily bookish by choice but by circumstance. dad-assigned nerd (sam) and jock (dean)

#liveblogging: supernatural #7.03 #this is doing incredible things to my psyche #i can't explain it. i just love the very practical reason as to why sam's so good at research #and why it's his go-to in a hunt. and why he assumes that role so naturally #because he grew up in that environment. he had to get good at research because that was his job in this whole thing #the other nice thing i can intuit from this episode is that dean knows spanish #honestly i think they need to bring out the winchesters' intellectual sides more often #they have got to have some kind of working knowledge of plenty of languages considering the texts they use to hunt things #but they neeeeever talk about this!!! the aesthetic of macho manly fighter dude is more important to the showrunners than the practical #know-how they've absolutely acquired across their lives. it's a crying shame honestly #i hc that both of them can read literary latin and ancient greek with ease #and outside that dean's knowledge is limited to immediate threats. so some regional native american languages like lakota and spanish #while sam would explore outside the immediate necessities and have working knowledge of several more languages. this is what i believe #anyway. #.txt #the winchester gospel #spn posting
