I saw that gifset of Jody mentioning that that guy still had nightmares of that barn scene in Walking Dead, and because I don’t know what scene that reference is… referencing I could only look at the text and go: wait… BARN scene??? Walking dead as in Lazarus rising from his grave & walking the earth once more?? 0_o Interesting. Also sad, since I assume it had to do with zombies, & I bet Jody still has nightmares about zombies :(

Hahaha, everything is Destiel if you think about it for more than a few seconds. 😀

I also haven’t watched the Walking Dead – I didn’t get past the first episode (poor horse…) so I just assume it’s clearly something tragic and full of zombies that must be iconic enough to casually mention except I’ve literally never heard a comment about it except for that one. 

… I know I rolled up into fandom around the time this aired but I never saw any meta about the comparison, probably because I only followed like 10 blogs to start with so if they missed it I’d never know. 😛

But yeah, poor Jody. I agree – I think when she talks about the people she knows in town who were affected by the zombies of course she has to mean herself as well… That episode goes deep into her own trauma with her son, in the background to her bonding with Alex and how she understands how to deal with her at the end. I suppose that comment would be to betray a little of her own trauma underneath as well… Hey, if Dean can project everything, I don’t see why others can’t too. 

Thinking back? It is a bit cruel to give Jody that line.

Context.

The “Barn scene” in the Walking dead is like this: The survivors are staying at a farm, where the only rule from the owner, Hershel is to stay away from the barn, that is locked with a chain and a huge lock. They are staying there because they are looking for Sophia, a little girl that got separated from the group at the season premiere.

At the mid season finale, Shane, Rick’s best friend and somewhat antagonist, gets fed up with Hershel’s view of the zombies (he thinks they’re still human and can be cured) and opens the barn so they can all shoot at the zombies that come out the moment the doors are opened.

Once the zombies are dead, one last zombie staggers out. It is Little Sophia, zombified.As her mother cries in anguish -held by fanfavorite Daryl-, everyone is stunned, not able to shoot her, until Rick finally does so, as Carol -the mother- cries her heart out.

So basically? The writers made Jody make a joke about an episode that pretty much mirrors what SHE had to go through, with real zombies.

If anyone has the right to still have nightmares over the Barn scene in Walking Dead? IS Jody.

I KNEW I WOULD REGRET ASKING.
