#episode 14x04

[spnj2fanlw]

So I've hit season 14 in my latest rewatch and I always forget how much I like Mine Condition! It's just so much fun and I love we are bringing back Sam's dislike of Halloween from the pilot and season 4 plus we hit on season 2s Hollywood Babylon with Dean's love of horror movies (Sam still doesn't get it) and the Hell Hazers movie Dean was a PA on. Also the movie trailer with the show which was done there as well. I love when the show remembers its history and I love when they have fun with themselves. The red hood statue in the shop as a nod to Jen mention of Friday the 13 which Jared was in one etc. for a MOW this was a good one IMO. It was a nice break from the drama of the show with the Michael stuff. Especially when binge watching cause it was quite dark for a bit here then bam a Thundercat beat someone up and we are off. This is also one of the few EPs no one dies in which I liked (Well except Jordan who was already dead). This one just makes me (and Dean) feel good.

every moment of 14x04 Mint Condition Dean is a dean i want to put in my mouth and suck like a lolipop

I guess we’re back to silence on set…

(I know we got Medalion’s post but with silence from both Olsens it feels like it’s been decades since we’ve seen bts)

[sacredprayerdean]

fully feel like im about to pass out and or have a meltdown need my comfort spn episodes now more than ever 

[inthiswhisper]

sam: when we get back to the bunker... man, you’ve gotta stop hiding out in your room. and i get why you’re doing it, i do, but what happened with michael… you said yes for me, for jack, for your family. you did the right thing. what happened after— just because michael was wearing your face doesn’t mean any of this is on you. i don’t blame you, no one blames you. you gotta try and stop blaming yourself. please.

dean: i’m never gonna get over it, okay? i’m just not. but you’re right. i’m not doing anybody any good by just staying cooped up in my room. so, whatever you need, i’m there.

ended on a sweet note. loved the hell out of this episode. i’ll probably watch it ten more times.

dean winchester and autism because this man is autistic and i will not accept otherwise:

his reaction to sam giving him the giant slinky at the end of 7x14 'plucky pennywhistle's magical menagerie'

actually physically stimming when he enters the bunker with sam in 15x14 'last holiday' and sees the christmas decorations

the boxing episode, 11x15 'beyond the mat', where dean spends the entire episode fanboying and (for lack of a better word) plays in the boxing ring

wearing the same thing (flannel, jeans, in earlier seasons the leather jacket) almost all of the time while not in disguise to work cases

eating the same thing (cheeseburger with extra onions or pie) at almost everywhere they go, as often as he can (about dean winchester and food, i could talk about that for hours he has so many issues with it and it's all john winchester's fault)

his ability to recite movies line for line, and his tendency to communicate almost entirely through references and movie quotes, and expecting people to understand what he means

about references, he makes jokes and references when it's not appropriate, he doesn't understand that something isn't appropriate in a situation where it isn't specifically pointed out to him, and he generally has a pretty messed up sense of empathy and inability to 'read the room'

‘you’re always calling me a geek, but you know every word to every led zeppelin song, backwards and forwards. you can discuss in detail every major rock drummer between ’67 and ’84… and you watch ‘jeopardy!’ every night.’ - directly quoted from sam winchester in 14x20 'moriah'

in 13x06 'tombstone' when they go into the motel and dean talks about the cowboys, identifying all of them and going into quite a bit of detail about a few of them, even though nobody asked him about it and he is absolutely infodumping. 'he really likes cowboys.' 'yes. yes, he does.'

his knowledge of cars, particularly baby, and how he takes her for a ride when he's sad because of the comfort she provides him. also about baby and comfort, the way he offers to let people drive baby when he realises that they're sad, thinking it'll make them feel better as she makes him happy and he doesn't understand how else to help

in 1x03 'dead in the water' he talks to lucas about how he didn't speak as a kid, he plays with the toy soldiers and it doesn't come across as playing with them to make lucas trust him, it actually comes across as him finding genuine enjoyment in it

in 1x15 'the benders' when he's talking to the kid who mentions godzilla, dean brightens immediately and goes off topic talking about his favourite godzilla film, and has to be reminded that he's working a case by sam

the entirety of 14x04 'mint condition', how dean gets to express his interests and be himself and how a lot of people have mentioned that he seems to be genuinely himself in that episode instead of the act he puts on

larping with charlie, no explanation needed

he shuts down when things go badly, often blasting music and ignoring everything and everyone around him

he always picks scissors when playing rock, paper, scissors, and it's actually something that comes up multiple times within the show - in 2x17 'heart', sam says, 'dean, always with the scissors,' and along the same lines, his excitement both times he actually wins the game

in 1x04 'phantom traveller', dean is terrified because of the plane and sam points out that he's humming metallica. he replies that it calms him down, and that just seems very autistic

I love how we are so familiar with this show that has 327 40min-long episodes. Like I can say "remember the one where Dean wore those cute glasses with the funky little suit" and everyone is like "14x04 Mint Condition my beloved"

Supernatural Battle of the Episodes!!

Looks like Mint Condition took down Byzantium pretty easily! How will it do against the Mid Season Finale? Let's get it started!

Chuck, take it away!

Chuck: Okay folks today we have The Spear - once again Sam, Dean and the Scooby gang go hunting for Michael and Dark Kaia! Sam and Jack confront Michael and try to use Garth to find out more info. Dean and Cas find Dark Kaia and borrow her spear. Instead of killing Michael, he possesses Dean once again! 🤨
