Notes

I've been wanting to vid Sam's speech from Houses of the Holy for ages. It breaks me every time - looking back and knowing how much Sam suffered, even though he was saved from his so called destiny. For me this vid is about being able to use images to express what I think of when I now hear that speech. I could write an essay about all this - why I chose each image, the connections etc. so if something doesn't make sense feel free to ask...;)

ETA: The "essay" mentioned above. The whys and wherefores of my clips choices etc.



No money made but comments are gratefully and warmly accepted. <33

Whaaa. My canon Castiel would've helped Sam back then in a heartbeat if he could have:'(

That was achingly beautiful.
This is how extraordinary those early season's eps were... to still have so much resonance nowadays. Watching the show since, there have been times during a scene where past dialogues - such as this HotH one - will pop into my head, so the concept here to paint a picture for it is a fanastic one.

I loved your scene choices, particularly the closing of the panic room door on Sam on, "I'm watching out for you", and the Cas scenes also struck a personal chord.

It's overwhelming to think of the suffering Sam's been through, and the literal connotation as though he has been "knocking on heaven's door" without an answer.... was just... gah!
I'll be checking out your "essay" on this as soon as I can.

Gorgeous hun! xx

Ah yes... Your Castiel wouldn't have hurt Sam like this. I'm sure canon Cas didn't mean to hurt Sam as much as he did - he was just a bit crazy in the head at the time. Sam understands that...

I love how much resonance the early episodes still have. I think that's what inspired this vid.

In my canon-head heaven is looking out for the boys and will have a place for them when they are done. :)

I'm so glad you liked it.
