I wonder if this was deliberate...

[ash48]

It rather amuses me that Jared was placed here. I'm sure it's no accident.





Is it just me or does Sam standing under the life ring make him look like he has horns? I absolutely love this looming shot of Sam as Dean returns from a hunt WITH SOMEONE THAT WASN'T HIM! It just makes me giggle that they placed under that red ring. Makes me think of a red rag to a bull. You can almost see the steam coming out of Sam's nose. I am sure one of the first things directors learn is to look what's popping out of someone's head in a shot. Makes me think this is no accident. (Or maybe I'm just being silly - ETA: though maenad's brilliant comment below confirms that they indeed knew what they were doing...;D).

So much love for that last scene. I actually thought Dean would have to choose between Sam and Benny. Or Dean might have to fight Sam to keep Benny safe. Sam was all ready to kill the monster but trusted Dean when he shook his head not too. It also reminded me of the way Cas came between Dean and Benny in Purgutory (literally walked between them). This really was about loyalty and trust and looking out for one another. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.


ETA: Oooh, meant to point out this.




Was there something else the C&D stood for? (I haven't properly investigated this but when I saw it it felt like a little nod to fandom. Maybe). Of course I'd prefer S&D but the nod is amusing.

Another edit because apparently it stands for "Captain and Danneel" (aka Jensen and Danneel) So cute!! (source = Guy Bee *g*)

Well caught, my friend!! Intentional or not, it's a wonderful shot. That last scene was quite brilliant, wasn't it? Such intensity, and such a range of emotions perfectly conveyed without a single word. Gave me the shivers it was so damn good.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! Every time I look at this cap I am drawn to the "horns". (I have a weird brain...)


The intensity was fabulous at the end. I remember thinking as soon as the ep ended...now that's what I love about my show..

... You know, the whole incest concept isn't really my thing, but at this point my brain helpfully provides 'a cuckold has horns', and then I choke on my dinner. :)

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

I am dying laughing at this. Angry cuckolded Sam on the dock!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

HA! omg! This works so well. You is so clever.

:DD

[monicawoe.livejournal.com]

LOL that's genius!

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

lol

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

I die.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Bwhahahah that is totally excellent, dude!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Show is sneaky with it's imagery...;)

xx

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

HA! These have got to be deliberate! Especially the C&D ship.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I mean..of all the letters they could have chosen...;)

[galwithglasses.livejournal.com]

The devil has horns too...I just thought, it's close enough to moose for me.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

The devil definitely comes to mind. :)

[cassiopeia7.livejournal.com]

Brilliant catch with Sam's "horns," bb, just brilliant.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

:DD Show likes to give us things to think about (even if it's an accident).
xox

[tiniowien.livejournal.com]

I love the horns! Coupled with the expression it screams whoever you are, you better have the best of intentions towards my bro or so help me I'll skin you alive. Angry, worried Sam is extra delightful.

Lol, I have no idea what the heck that C&D really stood for either, but I know folks are taking it as a cute little nod.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yes! I think it makes Sam look even scarier.

but I know folks are taking it as a cute little nod.

Oh they are? Cool. I figure it's a cheeky little shout out. ;))

[amnisias.livejournal.com]

Since the whole set is dark monotone colours apart from that freakin' red life ring makes me think it was no coinicidence. They've got a set department for a reason...

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah - it's really the only colour in the scene. I must have been put there deliberately. Now whether Jared was told to stand "under" it is a mystery, but it looks too good for him not to have been placed there.

[gateslacker.livejournal.com]

LOL! How did I not notice that? The coloring really makes it stand out. I don't know whether it was an intentional placement or not but I would assume leaving it in would have to be intentional.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I was collecting caps for my theheartofspn broment post and noticed it. In the show it's a very quick moment, it's not something that is instantly noticeable. It's a great shot though - no wonder Dean was sheepish when he got off the boat.

[cherry916.livejournal.com]

I didn't notice that, nice catch. I love the photography on this show. Because there is so many hidden shots you don't initially think of until you go back and look for them.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's not something that would be instantly noticeable during the ep (I don't think. I didn't notice it when I was watching). The screen caps tend to pick up all these little things. ;)

[locknkey.livejournal.com]

Wrathful!Sam is wrathful. Nice catch! :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

He is indeed!

[sandymg.livejournal.com]

Bravo on this entire post. I would have missed it. Excellent.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! I think all the interesting comments make it totally fun. :))

[aerynsun5.livejournal.com]

What an eye you have!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee... a strange eye...:D

[de-nugis.livejournal.com]

There's also a shot in the ep (sorry, I am sadly incompetent at capturing images), where Sam's head is framed by Star Wars II (the name of another ship). Given that Kripke especially has drawn parallels between Spn, and especially Spn as Sam's story, and Star Wars, that can't be coincidence.

I am going to firmly convince myself that it refers to Return of the Jedi, even though it would actually be that awful one where Anakin and whatsername rusticated by a lake. Maybe Sam and Amelia are going to have powered twins and Sam is going to go darkside with a vengeance (and a bellowed NOOOOOO!) this time.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Ooh...is that shot in this ep? I'd love to know where...I took a quick search and couldn't see it. I love stuff like that. :) I've always loved the connection to Star Wars. And NO not the more recent ones (OH GOD! That scene you mention was appalling).

xx

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

Yep...definitely like an angry bull... ;)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yay! Sammy the bull! That's exactly what I see when I see those "horns".

:DD

[winsangel.livejournal.com]

Possessive, angry with horns coming out of his head Sammy, love it - good catch ash :D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

He looked like he was about to charge...:)

[runedgirl.livejournal.com]

LOL, I'm dying over the Sam horns :)

I thought 'Captain and Danneel' when I saw C & D -- since that's apparently what Jensen joked about naming his actual boat. I just saw that corroborated by someone on twitter, Guy Bee maybe. LOL. I love their shout outs, especially because some are to fans and some are to cast and crew.

[spcmla86.livejournal.com]

Hi, I just read this from Twitter too and it was Guy Bee replying to the question as to what C & D meant and it was indeed "The Captain & Danneel" for that exact same reason. :-)

[a-carnal-mink.livejournal.com]

Hi there, fellow Aussie. :) Just popping my head in to let you know I'm Friending you because I want more sane SPN reactions showing up on my Flist. Hope that's okay. Cheers!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh hey fellow Aussie!

Hee...I try to be sane...;) I'm always pretty positive (well, I try to be. Show sometimes annoys me but not often...*g*)

*friends* :)

[yourlibrarian]

Heh, certainly makes for a good shot!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh hey you! Sorry for the late reply. It DOES make for a good shot - whether it was deliberate or not. :))
