Shadowless Dreams

the family drama and backstory gets a lot of play as being the best part of 1x08 Bugs, but what I don't see people talking about as much is that the punchline of the whole thing is when they're in the car near the end and Dean "Filial Piety" Winchester hears Sam telling that kid very earnestly over the phone "you have to tell your shitty dad the truth about the danger you're all in! just try to get through to him!" and immediately goes "are you crazy? gimme the fucking phone. okay, kiddo, it's time to tell your dad what's known as an 'expedient lie.' how good are you at faking appendicitis?"

like give me all the backstory on Dean learning to "manage" John while Sam was standing up to him, i know that shit went crazy and got toxic as hell

"No umbrellas" rule implemented when?

After this episode!

KimManners directed X-Files, where they often had umbrellas, so figured it was fine. I called him, said "the boys aren't scared of demons, but they're scared of rain?" From that point forward, a hard rule: no umbrellas. Not easy for Vancouver. #SPNFamily @ JensenAckles @ jarpad https://t.co/tX1zHp4yvf

I think I heard that Dean slapping Sam’s ass as he walks away was adlibbed. Do you remember?

Carrie: Oh, that was ad libbed! Jensen did that. When you see Jared’s reaction, that’s his real reaction!

Lynn: No wonder it came off so well!

Carrie: Completely. That was not in the script. I was like, that’s so awesome. I remember we laughed really hard. I remember Kim Manners directed that episode, and when he yelled ‘cut’ we all burst into laughter.

Lynn: And then they used that shot.

Carrie: It’s funny, because we had done a few takes of it and it was okay and then Jensen turned around and just smacked him on the butt and it was great.

Lynn: Your deadpan reaction and that happening spontaneously right afterward just made the scene.

Carrie: Yeah, it did, it did. And I’m not sure if that was the first episode that people were speculating that they were gay.

Lynn: It was a constant theme in the early seasons.
