What else I loved...

[roxy]

Glasses, you guys. Glasses on both of them. It was like...getting chocolates and coffee. Chocolate flavored coffee with raspberries and whipped cream. And then Sam with his serving and knowing how to do it and sending me off imagining pre-pilot part time jobs poor Sammy had to take to eat( notwithstanding those reams of hookerfic) and the *joy*! The pure joy of it all! Even the bad moments were good moments for me!

So, are we all supposed to take that Purgatory was reboot camp for Dean? Because I can totally see it that way.

YES, omg, the glasses were *so damn awesome*, i luffed. :) And even though it was *weird* that the guys mucking out stalls were also cooking, I could totally go for Dean grilling his ass off and Sam serving up wine.

Wheeeeeeeeee!

What do you mean 'reboot camp'? I am confuse!

Plus - it's Friday, and people are still posting about this episode. I LOVE MY SHOW!

I can't believe how much folks loved this ep! It's wild--8th season and folks are on *fire*!

Reboot camp--it just seems like Dean's more centered than he's been in a while. More on track and focused. He's not drinking like before, he seems less worn even though he spent a hellacious year, he's nothing like he was coming back from hell. They've taken Dean's character and rewound him, or at least that's what it feels like to me. I'm thrilled about that.

Yeah, those folks were rich as hell and they only had two farm hands plus a foreman???

I know!! It's awesome.

You're right - I think Dean probably had DTs in Purgatory and that's all gone now, and he still drinks a bit from habit but he's not relying on it anymore, it's not his crutch anymore.

He seems *jaunty* - happy - he's relaxed...it's like, he has a new purpose, he has a new direction and a clear vision and i think he's feeling, despite Amelia and Benny and such, that Sam is finally *okay*, and he and Sam are finally okay and things can just *be* now.

I mean, he's still damaged, and still guilty, and still self-loathing to a degree but yes - you're right. He's got a better inner equilibrium now, and i love it.

Crazy rich folks - do everything the hard way! Heh.

Oh, the glasses! And then the farm manager even referenced Clark Kent, didn't she? I loved that back at their MoL digs, the fanon tradition of Dean being a good cook was supported.

Heh: reams of hookerfic. Heh! You know how I'm re-watching season five, right? And there's Sammy in episode three working as a busboy in a bar, and now I have this AU in my head of Dean trudging into a bar after a hunt, and there's Sam pulling beers and whipping up mixers. But, I'm sure there's already a fic like that out there. Ending ramble in: three, two, one. . .

Here's the beauty about SpN fandom--it doesn't matter if it's been written before, it only matters what *your* take is. And it's been a long, long time since someone's written a Bartender!Sam story. ;)

Ha, when the girl started flirting with Dean, the hubs says, "Oh your friends will love that." and I said, "Meh." Then when the glasses went on, I said, "Now THAT they'll love." And of course I got the "WTF?" expression in return. I do know my people. *grins*

Right? I swear I felt a ripple through the air!
