At the end of my last post, we left Sam reeling from the mental assault of images from a nursery. There's a lot to unpack in the vision that follows, so I felt it deserved its own dedicated post.

The previous scene ended with John revealing that signs of the Demon are gathering in Salvation, Iowa, and now we cut to a highway where we can see John’s truck approaching followed by the Impala.

So, May 25, 2015, I wrote a story about what happens after a slave is freed. ( Read more...Collapse )
Post title frame, the action moves to Manning Colorado where we left the Winchesters last episode. The scene opens with a shot of a deer head mounted on the cabin wall . . .
which establishes the setting as a hunting cabin, I guess. (Heh). It’s a visually striking image that ties back to the last frame of the previous scene, which focused on Pastor Jim’s wide staring eyes as he choked out his last breath. For me, it also conjures the association of “deer caught in headlights”, which seems like an ominous portent of where the Winchesters’ story might be headed.

Episode 21, “Salvation”
Written by: Sera Gamble and Raelle Tucker
Directed by: Robert Singer
Warning: image heavy post.
🎵Carry on, my wayward son.
There'll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don't you cry no more. 🎵
Yes, for those who watched the original aired episode, or those who watched on DVD, this was the first time we heard the show’s unofficial theme song – “Wayward Son” by Kansas – playing over the season recap. Streamers, alas, will have to wait until the season 2 finale. For now, they get “Calling” by Soberskin.
Sammy in his crib, Mary on the ceiling, little Dean left holding the baby.
*Boom*.
“Dad’s missing.” “Saving people, hunting things” Jessica on the ceiling.
“You could be some kind of freak!” “They say this gun can kill anything.”
“I have these nightmares, and sometimes they come true”.
“I guess we are stronger as a family. We go after this damn thing. Together”.
