So this scene totally made me think of the blue & pink wall we saw in 10.05 when Dean and Sam were (not) discussing Destiel or Sastiel. (I’m sorry if peeps already talked about this but I’m behind on reading meta just like I’m behind on everything else in my life.)
The whole scene with Dean and the love spell just had a ton of blue & pink. Like it’s surrounding him in this shot when he’s trying to answer the question “Are you Dean Winchester?” Yup.That’s me, Dean Winchester Lover of the Ladies & the Fellas.
And all that blue disappears once Dean is completely under the spell. He comes back with the book and even though the girls are at the same spot and the little blue car is still in the scene, it’s blue color is barely even noticeable.
it’s completely obscured now. The ladies and their spell are blocking Dean from even seeing it at the moment.
And not to be that person but there is also the sign. Or rather lots of signs
Personally I’ve never seen so many Customer Parking Only signs in my life.Usually if there is more than one, they’re spaced out every couple of parking spaces, not in front of every single space because signs cost money. I’d probably put three signs on that wall, tops. Not more than ten! And then Jamie is lying in the only spot without one of those signs.
And would you look at that, the sign says Rays. You know, like the sun. … And of course ABC stands for All Bout Cas. But my favorite thing about them is Dean’s parked in front of one of these signs and he gets put under this love spell and kisses Jamie and all over this gigantic pink wall are signs yelling that he can’t stay there for more than 2 hours. There is a two hour maximum and I doubt Dean was under the love spell for even that long. Temporary temporary. He can’t stay there. He belongs somewhere else.
Have you noticed how during the conversation with Sam at the beginning of the episode Dean is framed with the dark silhouette of a head (an empty soldier’s helm, in fact) with a halo-like light above, and the scene is intertwined with the first shots of Cas in his cell, the only figure in light over a dark background?
There’s literally the absence of Cas behind Dean, and the absence of a “location” around Cas. It’s almost like you’re supposed to take Cas (who’s “nowhere”) and insert him in the bunker.
I think it’s safe to say Bambi is Dean’s favorite Disney movie.
1.02, 7.09, 13.12
More Disney!! And oh my God what a reference. I mean, Dean unable to kill deer because he relates to Bambi? This character whose mother is killed (by a hunter) (the hunter is the main threat of this movie like ow my heart) and who has to make his own way in the world because he has a formidable, but absentee, father. And he does make his own way, thanks to his friends – his found family – who have helped teach him to walk and to talk and who teach him all about the world around him (his father leaving him with the warning that it’s a dangerous place). And Bambi has this loving and positive attitude of friendly things are pretty and so he names a skunk “Flower” and learns about love, but as a young stag rejects the idea of losing himself that way. Until he meets the lovely doe he simply cannot resist.
