Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I was obsessed with the show for the first 2.5 seasons (posted on the TWOP boards under the name Uranium), and what hooked me was the good son/bad son subversion, with Dean (uneducated outlaw rebel persona to the outside world) being the Good Son in that family and Sam (average cleancut college student) being the black sheep. I...I just really loved that, and I LOVED the arc at the end of season 1 into season 2 revolving around John as their father. I loved seeing Dean move from sunny wiseass to profoundly grieving after John's death. It just really affected me, and I saw a lot of myself in Dean, in terms of his relationship with John, working tirelessly for John's approval and never feeling like he had truly gotten it, and then John's death putting a premature end to that quest. That entire arc of season 2 was incredibly satisfying to me, but for some reason the decision of the show to make Dan sell his soul for Sam felt entirely wrong to me, and it pissed me off so badly that I couldn't make it more than a couple months into season 3.

That is actually the last time I was a hardcore fan of anything. I had spent so much time and obsessive energy over thise 2.5 years, ultimately to no end, that I can't get that worked up over anything like that anymore. Plus, the message board format really worked well for me as a medium of fan engagement, and since TWOP ended, there's no longer a place for me to go to satisfy that same need.

...and that is more than you ever wanted to know about me and SPN.

"the good son/bad son subversion"

Yes, this, particularly because when I first watched it, I quickly figured out that Dean was the favorite son, because he's the good little soldier, and Sam wasn't. And then, getting to the end of the first season, and suddenly there's that scene with Sam and Daddy Winchester, and I realized that Sam was the favored son, not Dean. Totally took me by surprise, but then made sense once I saw it, too. Was just really impressed with the character work in the early seasons, before it wandered off into angel politics.

I'm kinda glad I left before the angels were ever introduced, tbh. I remember speculation back in the day that Dean was somehow a manifestation of the archangel Michael, and I liked that idea, and I'm happy to keep that idea untainted by reality in the treasury of my mind. :)

I think you could argue that speculation is kinda sorta technically canon, anyway.

I like it!
