[Supernatural S01E09, "Home"]

They do cast really similar looking actresses all the time, but given the other definitely deliberate parallels between Mary and Jess I wouldn't be surprised if this particular casting choice was deliberate.

This is where my mind went- not even necessarily a "Sam is dating a stand-in for his momma" (because he was an infant and that would make zero sense) but in a meta way almost, more for the audience's benefit that the same situation will repeat itself

I don't see much resemblance beyond "blond and white."

This. Their hair looks similar, but that's about it.

(Anonymous) 2018-02-20 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Same. Their facial features are completely different.

No.

I think Samantha Smith is very pretty, but in 2005, she was 36. She may have looked somewhat younger and was probably deliberate, but she doesn't look 22, which Adrianne Palicki was. Though, I don't see why someone who had a four-year-old and a baby couldn't be in their early twenties.

Beyond that, the parallels between the two were absolutely supposed to be drawn. Of course, Sam wouldn't have any real memory of his mother at that point, so if they looked something alike, I'm not sure that would say much. But, other than them both being tall, blonde, white women, the don't look that much alike to me. All of their facial features look different to me.

Pretty much this.

Yeah, Mary wasn't very old when she died - only in her twenties, I think.

I actually agree

It seems like all the women on that show who are supposed to be coded as "hot" are hot in the same way.

(Anonymous) 2018-02-20 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
I think the resemblance is meant to be intentional in this case, as this show is alllllll about mommy issues.

Same.

(Which is funny, because "Daddy issues" was what gets all the textual attention for the first eleven seasons.)

(Anonymous) 2018-02-20 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that's exactly what OP is saying. Pointing out that many of the female characters in a show consistently fit a narrow range of conventional attractiveness and including the mother of two who looks like a coed is exactly the same thing as saying that mothers can't be attractive. That solid, air-tight conclusion is based on your excellent reading comprehension and not at all a flimsy straw man constructed by you for the purposes of argument. Well done!

Wow, somebody sure is upset! There, there, anon - go get a hot milk drink and have a lie-down, I'm sure you'll feel better tomorrow.

*pats your head*

NA
I mean, you did press your pen down pretty hard to connect those barely-there dots. But this little tantrum disguised as condescension sure is cute.

Yeah, their little screed was kinda off the rails, wasn't it?

(Anonymous) 2018-02-20 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, stop, you're embarrassing yourself

(Anonymous) 2018-02-20 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Funny how it's so important to you that you feel like you're smacking me down or something. LOL, as they say.

They say we are attracted to people who remind us our parents, so there you go.

That was Freud in an attempt to discredit victims on incest because they were brought to him by their fathers who were sexually abusing them.
