Saw "Dead in the Water." Oh. Dean broke my heart in this ep. You really begin to find out how FUBAR he is. When he talks to that kid about watching his Mom die and how he thinks every day about her wanting him to be brave and his voice breaks. OMG. I am a sap but I am kind of crying.
He is just so vulnerable there. And I love Sam beginning to realize all that. And then of course Dean's shields go right back up. But it's fascinating to me that so much of Dean seems to be built right on that horrible damage of watching your mother burn and of growing up in this crazy warrior family and having to take care of Sam. And I get the feeling he tries not to think about all this too much because otherwise he won't be able to function. And he so sees himself in that little boy and it so brings everything back.
Also, "Must be hard, with your sense of direction. Never being able to find your way to a decent pick-up line" is a great put down line I need to remember for the future.
I also rewatched Ruskie Business and I do have in-depth thoughts about it, but the scene that stuck with me is when Logan crumples in V's arms. I want to look away, because it just looks as if he is folding in on himself and cannot hold his grief any longer. And what a horrible thing that he can't find any comfort with his sister but just more pain and barbs and horribleness (mutual). Whoa.
And, in unrelated news, I guess after watching Krrish, I have a minor case of Hrithikmania. For those who don't know but are interested, when Hrithik Roshan debuted in 2000 in the (IMO) utterly forgettable Kaho Na Pyar Hai (which nontheless made a gazillion), people in India went nuts. He was making women swoon in the aisles, Valentino style.
But for me, the reason for liking him is simple. It's this. This is a dance number from Lakshya. The movie itself is a mess, IMO. But I've never seen anyone move like this and I can watch him dance forever. For anyone wondering about the odd choreography and context, Hrithik plays a slacker imagining not wanting to do anything in life and that is what the number is about. Actually, I don't even like watching him dance with heroines, because they never can keep up and I just want them to get out of the frame so I can concentrate on him.
Plus, there is the fact that he looks
