well that's one way to put the grossed-out turned hungry way sam is looking at his brothers lips

2x18, Hollywood Babylon

Critical theory: “Being part of a team” and a sense of purpose. Food insecurity.

Key quotes: Dean, “It's not so bad, I kinda feel like part of the team, you know?”

Discussion: Dean had the best time, he got a break from his job (by having another job), he got lots of free food, and he got laid. He felt like he was part of a team. He’s one hell of a P.A. He was good at the job, he picked it up really quickly, and he has this idea that all he’s good at is hunting, that all he can do is hunt. And he was hunting on the side.

And he was social. He was into all the gossip, he knew who to talk to for what, he just. Likes talking to people. He’s all bashful talking to actors he likes. He was raised so isolated, but he likes talking to people. We will discuss this in more detail as the show goes on—Dean craves community, and he thrives in it. A lot of the recurring characters are Dean’s friends. (us)(it’s the found family tism moment)(it’s growing up with no one who understands you, and then finding people who do)(Dean connects instantly with anyone with nerdy interests <3) 

There’s really not much depth to Sam. It’s pretty much all ~what if I turn evil. (This is quite a big thing, to be fair)

Sam doesn't know how good he had it—he judges Dean for eating all this free food, but he doesn’t seem to realise that Dean always went hungry so that he didn’t have to. Food issues can be hard to spot—and we all have them in some way—but with Dean it’s so obvious. He is used to being hungry. When he sees free/cheap/delicious food he just goes for it. He’s the same with sex—he sees someone he likes, he goes for it. He takes life’s pleasures as they come, because he doesn’t know when they’ll come round again, and he knows he could die any moment. And Sam judges him for this.

Food insecurity is more noticeable when viewing the show overall, and we will revisit this in future, as well as how Sam’s food issues from childhood manifest (ie. having no control over what he ate -> strictly controlling what he eats)

It was rumored that the set of "Poltergeist" was cursed. That they used real human bones as props. And, like, at least three of the actors died in it.
