Supernatural Season 4 Episode 13 - After School Special

The way I see it, there are two major points in this episode, which by the way, I must have already read in fanfiction somewhere. Point #1: The problem with desire is that you only need to have a taste of it. Sam didn't know anything else other than the fact that he had to join the family business. Okay, so maybe he did know, but the fact was, he was resigned to his fate. Had the teacher not spoken to him about making a willing choice, he wouldn't have had the courage to go. It's actually refreshing to find out what Sam took in college (or am I assuming again?) I figured he's a great writer so he went for Creative Writing? Literature? Journalism? Whatever it was, in my own little Supernatural world I imagine him to have taken either one of those.

Point #2: The Continued Humanization of Dean Winchester. I'm not so sure about this part. On one hand, I think it's a sort of compensation on the horrible things Dean supposedly did in the pit. Just like Dirk the Jerk, he may have been callous, cold and harsh at times but there's a story behind that facade. On the flipside, I think I've had enough of Dean being stripped bare like that. It kinda hurts to see him like that and not his usual cocky, snarky self. I sorta wanted to place myself in the middle of Dean and that Golden Retriever (blonde bitch) and scream "Stop it. Just go. Enough of this!"

*spaces out* Sorry...it's just that I remember how it was in high school. I think I had a different idea of how my life was in high school and how it really is. I know I was bullied when I was in grade school. (Oh, Mannix and Junjun were my favorite bullies) and I know it kinda went on in high school until Rits and the gang took me under their wing and transformed me into resembling a human being.

Kids are mean. Teenagers more so. With all those hormones, body changing, emotional distress, no wonder they're bound to shoot at someone. High school is where all the stories of life come from.
