sailorhathor | SPN Friday Five

spn_fridayfive on FRIDAY. *applause!*

1.) January 24th was Dean Winchester's birthday! How do you think Sam and Dean celebrated (or didn't) Dean's last (unless Sam saves him) birthday?

Strippers and booze. And Sam made him a cake with his own two hands. Or something like that.

2.) Why do you think John told Dean about the world of the supernatural when Dean was just a kid, but didn't bother to tell Sam?

Perhaps because Dean reminded him of himself, and John couldn't help but want a little carbon copy of himself running around, like most fathers. Also, John knows what evil lurks out there - he'd want to teach his sons how to protect themselves from it. But, maybe Dean took more to shooting guns and all that, while Sam just wanted to read and learn new things and such. So, Dean learned all about the supernatural early on, while John was waiting until Sam got older, on account of him being more reluctant to do what it takes to hunt. I think that could explain it.

3.) In "Bloody Mary", Sam's eyes bled because he kept his dreams about Jessica dying to himself. Dean's eyes bleed, too! Do you think the series has already revealed what Dean was guilty for? Or do you think we've yet to find out why Dean's eyes bled?

We have yet to find out why Dean's eyes bled. Honestly, I don't think Kripke had anything in mind for why when they bled - I think they just did it because it looked cool, not really counting on the fans to notice to the extent that they did. Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited so long to still not explain it.

4.) We already know Sam is very heavily involved with the mytharc (Yellow-Eyed Demon, Sam's powers/non-powers, "Boy King", etc.) of the show, but do you think Dean's Deadly Deal will finally get him directly involved in the mytharc? Or do you think Dean's Deadly Deal has nothing to do with the mytharc? Or something else?

No. I don't think Dean's deal has anything to do with the mytharc. I think the demons underestimated how far Dean would go to protect Sam.

5.) In the season 2 finale, Sam was officially dead for a short while. We know from "In My Time of Dying" that the dead can hang around for a short while before completely passing on. Do you think Sam went through a similar experience while he was dead? If so, what kinds of experiences do you imagine he had? Or do you think he just automatically passed on without lingering like Dean in IMTOD?

It's possible. I guess maybe he saw his mom or something. But whatever he experienced, he's forgotten it all.
