The Positively Positive

With only a few weeks left until the new season, it looks like the CW is going to give us two episodes on Thursday nights for a while. This is fine by me, especially when I get to see such a great episode like “After School Special” again. Like any fangirl I love it when we get background on our boys and this one didn’t disappoint.

Highlights….

Okay so now a part of me is really dying to look up “reverse cowgirl” …and yet very, very afraid to do so.

I know it’s wrong but a part of me was also rooting for the fat girl. Is that wrong?

Sam in white scrubs.

Sam and Dean going back to their old high school. I never gave much thought about them actually going to school. Guess I didn’t picture them going to regular schools since they travelled so much. Then again, I didn’t exactly see Papa Winchester homeschooling them, at least not in anything other than making weapons.

Yays! Little!Sam is back. That kid is awesome. Really wish Little!Dean had been old enough to play the teen version. He was great too.

Teehee….bully doesn’t know what to do with Little!Sam. I’m sure he’s never seen a kid smaller than him that had a look in his eye like he could kill him.

OMG! Dean in the shorts. Too much. Just too much. PLUS he’s teaching them Dodgeball. Though the best part has to be how much joy he’s getting out of it (“the whistle makes me their God”).

Wow, the hand in the blender looked almost a little too real.

The fact that apparently Dean’s love of the Magic Fingers goes WAY back.

The Tarantino-esque shot of the boys from the trunk of the car.

Little!Sam writing a report about killing a werewolf on his summer vacation.

Sam not wanting to hunt and Dean not wanting anything else. Once again it makes me see their parents in each of them. Sam is so Mary and Dean is obviously John.

So the boys always carry salt on them. Nice.

The “Martha Dumptruck” reference from Dean.

Once again, I know it’s wrong but I really couldn’t wait for Sam to finally kick that bully’s ass.

The boys have spike strips in their arsenal. Impressive. I knew that trunk was well stocked but I never realized just how well stocked.

Sam? Dean? The popular kids? Okay ghosty boy, you’re very confused.

The big guy landing on Sam and squishing him…..dang, now I gotta look “full cowgirl” too. Thanks Dean.

Very interesting dichotomy. While Dean seemed to be very popular in school, he left with the most scars (even if they’re just mental ones). And Sam, who started out getting bullied, ended up enjoying the experience of feeling popular.

Overall one of my favorite episodes from last season. A great look into how the boys grew up and became who they are on the show today.

Disagree? Have something to add? Want to suggest something for me to review? Post a comment. I’d love to hear from you!
