Does anyone else remember that time Sam Winchester proposed that he and Dean go full Frankenstein and use science to turn themselves into immortals who have to steal body parts from living people until they entirely ship of Theseus on themselves? No just me?

spn20rewatch: 3.15 time is on my side

one of the things that i track in my rewatch notes spreadsheet is who is responsible for dealing with a corpse. and surprise surprise, it's most often dean. this episode is no different. the demon they're interrogating for information doesn't survive the exorcism and dean goes off to bury his body, presumably with these words still echoing in his head:

DEMON: Go ahead. Send me back to hell… 'Cause when you get there, I'll be waiting for you…with a few pals who are dying for a nice little meet and greet with Dean Winchester.

after that they head to the morgue.

death is an inescapable part of hunting - most of which are triggered by one or more people's deaths (as this one is). and even if that's not the case, they often result in the discovery of a spirit of a dead person or the death of a creature.

it's actually really tragic to think about dean's headspace in these last few episodes of s3. he's clearly feeling the visceral weight of the deal's timeline coming to a close. last episode ended with him describing himself as "really scared." and yet, even if he wants to try to maintain the veneer of normalcy and work his job, death is all around him.

and as rufus puts it, his impending death was always a certainty:

RUFUS: Cause that's the job, kid. Even if you manage to scrape out of this one, there's just gonna be something else down the road. Folks like us... there ain't no happy ending. We all got it coming. DEAN: Well, ain't you a bucket of sunshine? RUFUS: I'm what you've got to look forward to if you survive. But you won't.

knowing what happens to dean, to rufus, to bela makes this episode one of the darkest in spn. they all deserved so much better. over and over they deserved better.

dean often gets criticized for not being kinder to bela in this episode. but this is fundamentally a tragedy. he doesn't know the full story of her childhood. and, if she had succeeded, she would have killed him and sent him to hell then and there - three weeks early. when she's on the phone with dean crying to ask for help, she's sitting on the edge of a bed with two bullet holes through the middle. of course, OF COURSE she doesn't deserve a single thing that the demons have done to her or will do. and it fucking sucks this is the end of her story line. but dean isn't wrong to be angry.

Supernatural S03E15 Time is on My Side

Familiar faces: the gym guy in the beginning is the same actor who plays Magnus later (the one who wants to hold MoC Dean as his antique possession). The lab doc actor also played Daniel Elkins in season 1

Sam reciting exorcism is so sexy. No, seriously, If I were a demon, I'd want him to sing it to me like a lullaby

*le Dean enjoying a nice burger

*Le Sam talking descriptively about maggots and he goes onto talk about bile, intestines and fecal matter. Gosh I love this Sam🤣🤣🤣

i love Rufus 🤣

If I may speak in Dr. Benton's defense, Sam does have such pretty eyes! I see what he saw there

And it looks like Sera Gamble loves to strap Jared Padalecki to tables (Can't say I blame her)

Sam, sweetie, you really wanna Frankenstein your brother?

Bye, bye Bela. You had it coming. You won't be missed

I love how gory this episode is. The creepy doctor, the innards, the surgical procedures and equipments! I miss this gore!

Damn, how are there no gifs for this episode???

I haven't watched season 3 of SPN in so long. I forgot so many things. Time is on My Side has to be peak really. The boys are absolutely gorgeous in it. So many beautiful shots of Jared that it's a banquet. Peak co-dependence, Sam willing for them to go all Sid and Nancy. Peak grossness. Bonus tied up Sam with eye close ups. And the pièce de résistance, Sam asking Dean how he's going to stop him when Dean tells him he's not letting him go off by himself. Hints of Soulless right there. We rarely saw this Sam later on after all the pile on of blame of season's 4 and 5 and the trauma of everything after that, except for Soulless. And isn't that just a bitch. Sam has to lose his beaten down soul to stand up for himself. Sigh. Season 2 tends to win polls as fandom's favorite season, but honestly, Season 3 is the gift that keeps on giving.

s03e15 -- "Time Is on My Side"

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

People can talk about Jazz Fest being overrated all they want and as someone who didn’t go this year, I get it. A lot of it has become more about business than culture… but last night, man, how magical it must have been to witness Irma Thomas on stage with Mick Jagger and the Stones in 2024

+

It was magical! Stones fans of all ages, octogenarians and septuagenarians out there rocking out with their kids and grandkids. I’m a local and still go to JF every year at least 2-3 days. It’s a bargain for the amount of great music you can see all around the Fairgrounds and the endless sampling of great food. As a New Orleanian who loves our Soul Queen, I got a lot of satisfaction seeing Irma up there with Mick and the Boys singing the song she made famous before they had ever thought about recording it, “Time Is On My Side”. And the local girl, Chanel Haynes, singing backup with Mick, sounded great and looked like a young Tina Turner up there. Wonderful day.
