Jump the Shark is SUCH an interesting look at John Winchester and Sam’s & Dean’s relationships with him via how they respond to Adam’s existence both initially and after accepting that he’s really their brother !

It also just says so much about where they’re at currently—Sam seeing hunting as a life that can’t be escaped, only prepared for (because he tried to escape and now he’s facing a destiny); Dean wanting to send Adam away from the hunt to Bobby’s (the safest place he can think of) because he deserves a chance to get out, live a normal life (like Dean would have if he’d had the chance). These are themes that come up consistently as we get to the end of season four: in It’s a Terrible Life, Sam Wesson believes he’s destined for something more, while Dean Smith doesn’t believe in destiny, wanting to hold onto his normal life; in The Monster at the End of this Book, Sam believes that they should use Chuck’s prophecy to approach Lilith (to encounter their destiny) while Dean believes they should try to work around it, to avoid the fate that’s laid out for them.

And all of that is symptomatic of their current places in the overall narrative: Sam trying to take his powers and embrace them, use them for good (because they feel inescapable, and if he has to have them he wants to use them to save the world), and Dean trying to resist the plan the angels have in place for him, to push back against the future they say he’s destined for.

And they were set up for that by their destinies and by the people around them. There’s Ruby, who has acted like Sam’s friend, helping him grow strong in order to achieve her own ends, who is acting as though she’s different from the demons but who is only pushing Sam to get stronger and hunt more because it will position him where she wants. On the other side, there’s Castiel, saying he’s like the other angels but privately having doubts, beginning to feel, helping Dean find a loophole to save Sam from Lilith and beginning to try to understand humanity, to see why it deserves salvation.

And Adam’s role in all that is so interesting because by the end of the episode we know he’s dead, has been dead, unwittingly dragged into the world of hunting by John even after his death, and Dean insists on a hunters funeral even when Sam suggests asking Cas to bring him back—because in his eyes, being dead but not in the mess of the Winchester’s lives is the better option, the better place to be. (But of course, he’s ultimately dragged into it anyway, revived just to become the vessel Dean refuses to be and then locked away for it, locked away for over a thousand years)

concept: attempted but failed wincest..... sam and dean know exactly how not-normal they are about each other, and they have TRIED to fuck about it. but it felt weird, and bad, and icky, every time, because of course they tried more than once. and they are SO MAD that apparently they can cheat death but not the westermark effect.

(ugh, this means both of their sex lives are something they'll just have to keep going to third parties for? but it gives them anxiety to know there's literally any part of each other's existence they can't share... SO unfair of the universe to do this to them)

....sequel: 4x19 Jump the Shark hits, and now BOTH of their search histories include "genetic sexual attraction" followed not long after by "can i get an sti from sleeping with a ghoul"

#supernatural #wincest #the brothers winchester #adam milligan #jump the shark #ghoul adam bouncing from one to the other wondering WHY they both actively have an incest kink about this #he asks one of them why they don't just take it out on each other and gets tko'd when the answer is 'eww that'd be gross we're *brothers*'

You are what you eat (Sam drinks demon blood) said as the ghoul cuts open Sam’s arm (just like Ruby does to hers) and drinks from it (like Sam does) and then notes that his blood tastes different (because it isn’t all human) while asking what makes something a monster (is Sam a monster? how can he be when all he’s trying to do is help, to use the evil forced on him for good? but how can he not be?)
