And who should answer it, but Mary, dead Winchester matriarch. He drops it and takes off.īack at a familiar home, Dean frantically knocks and rings the doorbell. Pictures imply that Dean and Carmen have been a couple for awhile, but a different picture freaks him out. Normally, Dean would be all for this, but he's so freaked out he says he'll join her in a bit. She offers to help his insomnia but her methods will likely keep him awake. Carmen walks in and he fakes it 'til he makes it. Checking the mail, Dean finds himself back in Lawrence, Kansas. Dean explains that the djinn attacked him but alter-Sam thinks he's drinking gin and drunk dialing. He immediately calls Sam, who is looking at lame e-mail from his friend Christopher Cooper. Hey, alter-Dean has a guitar, awesome touch. The last time it went missing, the shapeshifter lifted it in "Skin". I wonder about the necklace because it's not the amulet. Dean startles awake from a thunderclap, wondering about the woman lying next to him. The clip may induce nightmares - from the special effects and synopsis. On an unknown TV From Hell It Came plays, a 1957 movie about a killer tree. Previously, the Winchesters had a normal childhood before it was all "saving people, hunting things - the family business." Mary and Jessica were flambéed and Dean was tired of hunting and bad luck. An odd choice before the 2-part finale, but an inspired one at that. Season 2 was largely pre-emo and at the pinnacle of it came WIaWSNB. Let's just say I was far more open to "emotional" episodes before they became the norm instead of the exception. Fast forward a season and a half and I quickly lost my taste for brother angsting and "poor me" whining. Where was the show going? I was puzzled by the early angst onslaught, but I had more patience with it at that time. As a diehard fan, I felt the same turmoil others did. An exhilarating time to be a Supernatural fan but one racked with uncertainty too. We were on the cusp between monster of the week with mytharc thrown in and full on mytharc with some MOTW episodes thrown in. Not only was it exhausting for the brothers, but it was also the turning point for Supernatural. Add to that, an FBI manhunt and the Roadhouse, which only became popular after it burned down. It also saw the rise of Super Special Sammy and the other Special Kids, but we didn't know exactly why they were special. The beginning saw the brothers grieving John's death, the first extended overload of angst in our previously "no chick flick moments" show.
To appreciate why it resonated for me, you need to know where it and I were in season two overall. Therefore it is more personal and more biased. Preface - This review comes because someone asked why What Is and What Should Never Be is my favorite when I shy away from the emotional. I don't pretend not to know what happens in future episodes here like I usually do when recapping old episodes. Do not read if you have not watched through season 5 unless you want to be spoilered. WARNING - This is a review more than a recap so it is longer and I compare it to future seasons.
