Short post of random...

Has anyone seen the advertisement for the new Resident Evil 5 video game?

It starts out with a narrator that says, "How can you live a normal life after you return from Hell?" (paraphrased)

Every time I see that advertisement, I think of Dean.

The other night it came on while hubby and I were watching t.v., and I said, "This advertisement always reminds me of Dean," and he said, "Me, too."

Yay! He even went on to say I was asleep on the couch when it came on earlier, and he wanted to wake me up and tell me it reminded him of Dean. LOL!

I've heard a lot of rumblings about why Sam wasn't there in the last scene with Dean. Did anyone besides me consider that maybe Dean's not really awake in that scene? I mean, isn't it written somewhere that angels talk to men in their sleep?

Anyway, that was my interpretation. I can't say it's true or not.

Hmmmm, that's an interesting thought. I'd say that's a very good possibility. Or Sam could have been grabbing coffee or romping around with Ruby. Who knows?

Also, your husband is so cute for that! <3

Yeah, I don't know that it's true or not true, but it does seem possible. I didn't really have any problem with Sam not being there. It seems...(don't get me wrong here) that the Sam girls have more of a problem with it because they think Castiel's budding in where he's not wanted. I don't really get it.

And hubby is kinda funny. Even if he is a total Sam girl, LOL.

Yeah. I don't love Sam or Dean more than the other... I love them both equally (even though Sammy's making me a bit angry lately). I'm also one of those weird girls that love Sam/Deam and Dean/Castiel. They both work for me.

Does your hubby know you call him a Sam girl? LOL

LOL, Hubby totally knows he's a Sam girl, and not one of the level-headed ones either. I have been known to tell him off during the show more than once. I think he presses my buttons on purpose.

And I've pretty much been a Dean girl since Faith, but I've never had a problem with Sam. I get him, and I see way more parallels between myself and Sam than myself and Dean. I always say that I AM Sam which is why I love Dean, because people are attracted to their missing parts, right? Or Im just crazy, I dunno.

But for some reason once people know I'm a Dean girl they assume everything I say about Sam is wrong and feel the need to tell me so. Any and all animosity I have with Sam is actually animosity toward his fans, and I try to remember that. And it's not all of them either. I have some awesome friends who are most definitely Sam girls and we don't spend all our time pitting the two against each other. I think I see Sam pretty much the way they do, and they see Dean pretty much they way I do, and it's all good. I don't see why so much of fandom is about making one superior by beating the other one down.

I wondered if Dean wasn't awake in the scene, but I kinda feel like they would've had Castiel disappear at the end if that's what we were supposed to think.

And I'm geeking out for RE5. I haven't seen that ad, but I'm waiting impatiently for my boyfriend and his friends to actually buy the game so I can play it.

Yeah, I don't know if he was awake or asleep, but the whole scene was a little weird, GOOD, but weird, like the way Dean never even looked at Castiel.

I can't wait for RE5 either, but I haven't actively played it since... I don't remember RE3 maybe? I used to be such a video game junkie... then I discovered the internetz, lol.

glad you did also :>

Well, the way they set up the whole scene had a surreal sort of quality to it. I could believe it either way. *nods*

That's an interesting interpretation, and a definite possibility.

And thanks for not assuming, like others have, that Sam isn't there because he doesn't care about Dean. That floors me. It was pretty obvious he does care in his last scene on camera, also in the hospital.

My assumption was that Dean was awake, but Sam could have been absent for that short space for any number of reasons. Bathroom, getting a bite of food, talking to the nurses or doctors about Dean's progress, etc.

It makes me sad that people jump to the most negative conclusion possible.

Well, certainly Sam's not going to be able to be there 24/7. It never even occurred to me to be bothered about him not being there at the end. Which was why I kinda went BZUH at all the off-handed comments I managed to catch about it.

I did think the scene felt a little "unreal" though, and I had the same feeling about the end scene in 4.02, so I kinda wondered if he wasn't awake.

This season fandom has been about passing and dishing blame everywhere. It's why I don't really want to get into fan discussions anymore and have been pretty much staying away from most of fandom of late. I still sometimes find myself with a little niggling something that I have to say. LOL. I'm glad you're not hiding from me. *g*

You know, I figured if Castiel saw Sam in the room, he would most likely have passed by, like he tried to do earlier in the episode, especially now, knowing how Sam felt about the whole fiasco. I just assumed Castiel would wait until Sam was absent, for any of those understandable reasons suggested, to come and have a sit with his charge.

Whereas some folks commenting to your post here have seen crazy sam girls mad that Sam wasn't in the scene, I managed to run smack dab into reviews that literally chewed Sam out for his lack of care for Dean, and cited his absence as one of the "proofs". I was blindsided.

You are wise to stay out of it. I wish I could, but I just don't seem to have much restraint any more.

Well, now I don't really see how anyone could say that Sam doesn't care after that first scene in the hospital. I just think he's not a in a good place to be able to express his care in a helpful way. They're just at a point in their relationship where no matter what either of them says, the conversation's going to deteriorate fast. Heck, maybe Sam even knows that, and that's why he's not there at that moment, because he doesn't want to say anything he'll be sorry for later or have to explain what happened after Dean blacked out. There's a whole lot of avoidance and denial going on between them, but a lot of it's protective, and I don't mean just self-preservation either.

And yeah, I try to back away and try to keep my thoughts down to a sentence or two. But even then I fail a lot of the time. This show just gets in my veins!

Sam probably went for dinner...at Ruby's;)

**giggles**

LOL. Ohhhh, you're so asking for someone to smack you down, haha. Luckily, not from most of the people who are going to be reading this post. I have been rather heavy on the ban button of late. *is ashamed*

I hadnt considered that Dean was sleeping- thats a totally great thought... but I did consider that maybe Castiel did the whole "touch your forehead and make you drop" kinda thing like before on Sam. Considering the look on Castiel's face when he watched what Sam did to Alastair- I dont think he really felt "comfortable" around Sam.

Besides... I kinda hope Dean wasnt asleep at the end- I kinda hope Cas was actually there - cause that makes me feel like he REALLY cared about Dean and was just sitting there watching over him.

I dont mean to invoke the wrath of Sam fans... (and I DO agree that it was evident that Sam was concerned about his brother by the tone of his voice when Cas first came by... ) but honestly- I didnt miss Sam at the end. I think the impact of a brotherly "I'm broken" -Dean "Yes you are..." -Sam wouldnt have been nearly as satisfying as the exchange between Dean and Cas...

Oh and P.s. - isnt it nice when the hubby takes part in your obsession? LOL -

LOL. I think maybe Castiel would be afraid to put the whammy on Sammy at this point. Haha. Anyway, the "he might be asleep" thing was just a thought. I don't know if they'll go there, though I kinda hope the... Erp, can't say because it might be a spoiler... I hope maybe the premise for this week's episode might be explained by how Dean ended up last week. How confusing is that? LOL.

I didnt' really think much about Sam not being there at the end either. I was just kinda surprised by how many people were royally pissed about it. You're right. I'm not sure he's exactly in a good place to do any kind of nurturing at the moment. It's one thing to sit and worry and wait, but I can't imagine what kind of conversation they'd have once Dean woke up.

Hubby is pretty cool even if he is a total Sam girl.

Personally, I think Sam deserves a potty break (or even a food break - big body to feed) once in a while. ;) No, seriously, though, I mostly think he wasn't there so they can have a big reveal in one of the next eps where Sam finds out that Dean started the Apocalpyse. You know, more tension, more drama that way.

I think that's a good thought, too. I'd like to see Dean keep that a secret for awhile. He caught so much flack from Sam for being "weak," I'm not sure he'll be able to bring himself to tell that. And hey, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Hadn't thought of that, though i hope he was awake.

In Sam's defence it's only in fanfic that Sam stays at Dean's side and vice versa.. in hospital 24/7..i think the show is more realistic. He could have gone to the loo, grabbed a coffee..any number of things.

It's good that you can share SPN with your hubby :-)

I kinda hope so, too. It was just a thought.

And you don't have to defend Sam to me. I completely understand (or at least, I like to think I do). The only time I'm angry with Sam is when people try to explain his behavior as being Dean's fault. Then, I want to strangle him. *rolls eyes*

I share as much as I can with hubby. But he's a Sam girl. He always refers to Dean as "Your Guy." Lol.

>>The only time I'm angry with Sam is when people try to explain his behavior as being Dean's fault. Then, I want to strangle him. *rolls eyes*

Agreed!

>> I share as much as I can with hubby. But he's a Sam girl. He always refers to Dean as "Your Guy." Lol.

LOL!..well that's one less we have to share Dean with ;-)

Or it could be that Sam had been there when Dean woke up and he went to get Dean something. Since we always have time lapses in scenes thanks to time constraints its very possible. Sam may have gone looking food hoping to cheer him up.

Oh yeah, I'm not implying Sam wasn't within shouting distance one way or the other. Just the scene had a surreal feel to it that made me think it might be in Dean's head. I had the same feeling about the last scene in 4.02.

You mean where it felt kind of foggy around the edges? Yeah but we're not going to ever find out since they go right into a different on this week damn them.

Interesting thought about the annunciation scene and one I hadn't actually considered until now, but I still tend to think it's actually happening - more a hunch than anything else, probably, but that's what my gut tells me. :)

One thing I really, really wanna know about the rumbling SamGirls with regard to that scene though is this - how the fuck do they know that Sam's not there?? The entire scene (the entire scene!) is done exclusively in, first, close-ups and then tight close-ups on Jensen and Misha. We can't even SEE the rest of the room! We're not shown an empty chair on the other side of the bed or anything, we're not "told" in any way whatsoever that Sam isn't there, that he isn't sprawled out uncomfortable and exhausted and sleeping like a log by his brother's side. Yet somehow the rabid ones are convinced they can see things that aren't shown. Amazing x-ray vision some o'these gals must have.

Seriously. Two things -

One. Anyone who can make a complaint about that annunciation scene needs their head looked at, because that was just sublime film-making - who gives a fuck who or what else might've been in that room at that moment? The performance, direction and execution of that scene was just, gods, it was magnificent.

And Two. Someone needs to remind certain factions among the SamGirls that it's Jensen's fangirls that are supposed to have the reputation for being Absolutely Batshit Insane. *eyebrow* I fear that poor Jared's just a few perfumed letters away from his own personal Stephanie Ware.

Gah. Sorry to rant in your LJ, darling. I've kept schtum over the rising tide of crazy so far, but it seems my dam just broke. ;) It's just getting so... tedious. And sadly predictable, from some factions. *sigh* You can ask me to delete this comment if you want, I'll understand.

You shouldn't ever feel like you need to delete comments you leave in my journal. I pretty much agree with you all the time. LOL. We are brain twins, methinks.

I don't know if I think it was in Dean's head or not. I just know it was all a bit surreal and reminded me of that last scene in 4.02 which I always assumed was a dream. To me, it doesn't matter one way or the other. I was actually surprised at how much rumbling I found about it, which was why I suggested another option. Well then, nope, not really surprised. You're right. Everything's so predictable and tiresome. I just sometimes get the desire to banninate everyone, but all I can do is just stay away from places where there's too much of a mixed crowd. (Which is why I'm really going to try to give up spoilers for next season. It's always on those spoiler posts and the big review posts where the crap gets stirred up.)

I know what you mean about crazies. I have to remind myself that I don't have anything against Sam and that I really, really love him, because spending to much time around a certain type of fangirl makes me dislike him to the point I'm sure my eyes turn red and my head verges on 'splodey. Isn't it ironic that a person's FANS drive people away from him? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Sigh.

It never occured to me that Sam wasn't there because he didn't care or whatever. That Dean and Castiel scene was needed, and Sam being there as well would be awkward, and would kinda dilute the intensity of the scene.

My own thought was that Dean had been conscious for quite some time, the tube was gone and so was that head-monitor which he had on before that. For a comatose patient to be fairly lucid like Dean was would take quite some time and I think Sam was away for a say, maybe coffee-break, or maybe he went back to the motel to sleep. He wasn't by Dean's bed 24/7 in 'Faith' either.

But Dean not being really awake could be true also. Like that second episode in which Dean talked to Castiel while he was sleeping I think?

Exactly! Like the second episode. That's what made me think of it. I don't know what's true and what isn't, but it just had that same kind of feel as that other scene. It was just another explanation since so many people seemed to be upset that Sam wasn't there. I agree with you completely, though. It didn't bother me that he wasn't there. I didn't even realize it was a point of contention until I started seeing those comments. I should know better than to read those things.

Haha, I totally thought the exact same thing when I first saw it. And now I talk to the screen and tell them to 'ask Dean' whenever it comes on. He'd kick Hell's ass way better than any Resi Evil hero.

Haha! I love that advertisement, just because it makes me feel like Dean's not stuck on an obscure network where nobody sees him. He just pops up all over the place this way. But seriously, how DO you live a normal life after you return from Hell? You don't.

Oh my. That's a great interpretation! :) And a wonderful plotbunny, too.

:D

Btw, my sis once told me that Jensen was auditioning for Resident Evil. Too bad they chose Evans instead. :(

Yeah, I'd heard Jensen was being considered for that. Im a little sad he didn't get it either. I love RE.

And you should write that bunny.

But the bunny is yours. :)

Oh, so I'm not the only one thinking about Supernatural when that commercial is on, good to know, haha.

Haha, No, you're not. I think of Dean every single time. Way to spread the Dean love. *g*
