12×17 – Deleted Scene
@helianthus21 excellent point that Dean has referenced the parent trap before!
5×04: 2014!Dean: Yes. I got a camp full of twitchy trauma survivors out there with an apocalypse hanging over their head. The last thing they need to see is a version of The Parent Trap. So, yeah, you stay locked down.
6×14: Dean: We’ve been Parent Trapped.
(Then also references Mannequin).
Nice 😀
Okay, so everyone is focusing on “The Parent Trap” part of this scene, but I focus more on “The Nun’s Story”.
“The Nun’s Story” is a movie about a nun who (even though she possesses real, strong faith) struggles with the rules of her convent, is several times punished for disobedience, is send on a mission, travels to Congo, and meets a male surgeon (”a genius and a devil, a bachelor and an unbeliever” who makes her question her calling – and has some very strong sexual chemistry with her). In the end she leaves her convent, and lives the rest of her life as a fullfilled civilian.
Here you can see the original trailer that starts with words
“On this faithful, autumn day, the nun called Sister Luke, under special and extraordinary circumstances, was released from her vows. She took leave from her convent forever because, in her own words, she was no longer a nun.”
Well, if it doesn’t remind us of somebody!
Ohh @helianthus21 yiss and @margarittet I just can’t wait I just can’t wait I just can’t wait for S13!!! Of course it’s common for nuns to have a man’s name in their more pious denomination, but isn’t it kind of lovely that it’s female/male in the main character’s name? I think it is. It’s quite lovely.
*whispers*
Sacred Oaths…..
Thank y’all for mentioning it! I was yelling in Tink’s chattybubbles earlier about this, like NONONONO! THE REAL PERFORMING DEAN THING IS HIM MENTIONING THE NUN’S STORY! THE ///COVER/// FOR THAT WAS THE FREAKING PARENT TRAP!!! And then I told her I’d write about it later (between my internet going out because of thunderstorms and me being generally grumpy because Amazon failed to deliver my copy of s12 today *SEETHES AGAIN* I hadn’t felt much like typing stuff. 😀
SO YES. THIS.
(I mean just go read the wikipedia page for The Nun’s Story and THIS was what Dean was interested in seeing… It’s depressing AF, she basically gets jerked around her entire life, has to fight for the mission she WANTED in life, was accosted by a mental patient convinced she was the Archangel Gabriel, constantly reprimanded for disobedience, forced to purposely fail a test to prove her humility, and in the end she asks to be released from her vows and leaves quietly through the back door in civilian clothing. THAT’S the movie Dean thought would be good… In an episode where Cas is MIA– and we know he’s in Heaven who expect him to ‘redeem’ himself through service and humility and whatever else they’ve been putting him through to prove his loyalty and obedience… I mean…)
