Season 1, Episode 21: Salvation

"The three of us.  That's all we have.  That's all I have."
The more I rewatch this show, the more I feel like it's Dean's journey.  I know it's about the two of them, but to see where Dean has gone since season one . . . how much he's grown . . . I don't think there's anything I've watched so far in this rewatch that hasn't made me more and more upset about how Season 9 ends.

My thoughts on Salvation second time around . . . 
  • OK, before I say anything else, I need to complain, A LOT, about the fact that ALL of the Season 1 music is changed.  To watch a "road so far" without Carry On Wayward Son playing in the background was completely bizarre and I felt like it changed the show.  I noted on Twitter that the music in the show is like another cast member.  It was really, really different without Carry On Wayward Son, and I didn't like it at all.  Booooo licensing.
  • The "you are now leaving Salvation" sign had two typos that I noticed - the lottery signed was spelled "loto" and it also referenced "judgement' day.  
  • The dialogue between the boys and John in this episode - enough to break my heart over and over.
    • "I want you to go to school.  I want Dean to have a home.  I want Mary alive.  I just want this to be over."
    • "It's up to you boys now.  It's your fight.  You finish this.  You finish what I started."
    • "Even when I couldn't count on anyone, I could always count on you."
    • "It's suicide."  "I don't care."  "I do."
    • "If hunting this demon means you getting yourself killed, then I hope we never find the damn thing."
  • I still don't understand how John managed to make it to meet up with Meg in time when he was so insistent that it was impossible.
  • Son of a bitch count - 1
