thinking about that scene with sam and john in 14x13, sam, avoiding eye contact with him, not knowing what to do with himself standing face to face with his father after YEARS of resentment, grief. that sam from 2x02 saying that he felt guilty as hell for the way they both parted ways because after the fight, john died and sam found his body, and he never got over it. and this john is the same from the fight he and sam had when he went to stanford. sam wasn't "forgiving" john for his screw-ups, he was moving on from it because living with that resentment would bring him nothing. "for me, that fight was a lifetime ago," and it was!
Sam gets closure. He receives and grants forgiveness. I cry every time I re-watch this scene.
Jared hit this out of the park. His line reading at "And I think about you a lot" and at "I think about you...(hmm)...I think about you. On the floor of the hospital" is just heart wrenching and soul crushing.
The Yellow Draft of this scene from @spnscripthunt
It's not the final version and there are some changes in Sam's final dialogue which are small but significant. I wish I knew who made those changes.
i think when john came in season 14 it would have really been best if he stayed, so we the viewers could watch him and dean try so hard to love each other. but neither one of them can accept the other’s orders anymore, and neither of them know how to love without a chain of command.
there are a lot of underrated parts in ouroboros in terms of jacks overall characterization but one that really sticks out to me is how noah tries to pin jack as either the chicken that sacrifices what she loves for the greater good or the snake that kills out of obligation to his nature and jacks response to it is “fuck you im both of them actually”
