supernatural s5e12 swap meat (teleplay: Julie Siege
story: Julie Siege, Rebecca Dessertine, Harvey Fedor)
are they gonna make a body swap not fun?
CRYSTAL
Gary, I don’t want to embarrass you, but you are just – you are just a stunning-looking man.
SAM
I know, right?
ignoble start. crystal needs to raise her fucking standards.
squirreling away more the little details about their childhood. maid babysitting (do you think john paid her?) summer before 6th grade (which would make sam ~11 years old) for two weeks.. practically a gold star parenting moment for john, getting an adult to be involved in watching them.
DEAN
You ever think that you'd want something like that? Wife, rugrats, the whole nine?
SAM
No, not really my thing anymore.
(not crying, nope) and what about you, dean. we still pretending you don't? if i start thinking too much where things end up i will end up in an existential pit of despair, so. moving on!
the old computer person inside me still compulsively screenshots computer screens in stuff i'm watching, new desktop background! and also laughing because i hadn't noticed before in this episode where dean is also using a laptop (black one instead of the silver mac) it's the same desktop icons. including the Untitled 1 and 2 documents. LOL
s5e12 / s5e5
on the whole though, they've done a good job with their computer stuff. teen wolf was comically bad.
not in any universe, especially when sam has been possessed before, do i believe that dean winchester is not going to notice sam behaving so differently. you don't get every demon, monster and psychiatrist within a 50 mile radius calling out your codependent relationship with your brother and not notice some bumbling teenager is behind the wheel of his body.
okay, writers. calling the kid a frustrated virgin because he likes star wars and has porn. eyeroll
padalecki's neck region has been sweaty a lot lately it seems like. is he doing pushups between takes? is that how he's gotten so big
attack of the weird makeup/lighting/color correction on jensen again yikes
this is like watching ooc fic come to life.
NORA/DEMON
You mean to tell me you've got Dean Winchester and Sam Winchester's meat suit? An empty vessel just waiting to be filled. And you're handing them both over to me?
okay so at least that was a kind of clever way of working this into the bigger story, i didn't see potential vessel snatching coming.
DEAN
That was a nice thing to say.
SAM
I totally lied. That kid's life sucked ass. All that apple-pie, family crap? It's stressful. Trust me – we didn't miss a damn thing.
DEAN
Or we don't know what we're missing.
some really weird writing choices. sam isn't all sad earnest puppies and rainbows, but he's also not often sharp and assholeish either. i don't know if that's trying to write him as being funny or what. spn's brand of humor doesn't land for me very often, though it has been a little better this season overall.

Episode 94: Swap Meat
Season two called and it wants its plot back! The girls are here to discuss the classic supernatural metronome of an episode that is ‘Swap Meat’, from the highs of a banana daiquiri to the lows of consent issues, Julie Siege brings us a wildly weird media experience. Featuring the return of Ms Chancey the potentially fictional babysitter, the ghost of John Winchester’s shitty parenting, and the girls saying they’ll start talking about one thing before immediately talking about the exact opposite thing.

thoughts on spn 5x12:
what is going on with sam… is he like a little kid again
“oh you shake it up baby”
sam said “virgin 🙄” the kid is like 14
how did they find kids clothes big enough for padalecki
so dumb 👍
“i totally lied. that kid’s life sucked ass.”

one thing that seems consistent throughout a lot of the show is that, after John dies, Sam and Dean tend to either speak positively about him, or they say something along the lines of yeah he was kinda shitty but he did his best (there are exceptions to this, especially with Sam, but this becomes more true the more the show drags on). but if someone else says something nice about their dad they look really upset lol
