So i’m not really in Supernatural fandom, but my roommate is and I’ve seen the series (except for the most recent few episodes), and I wanted to share a revelation I had.
Some fans have noticed the inconsistency between the episodes “After School Special” (4×13) and “Bad Boys” (9×07).
The flashbacks in the two episodes should only actually be a few months apart. But in “Bad Boys” Dean is shown to be a fumbling teenager who has his first kiss…
We don’t see him and Sam together, but the glimpse we get of Sam is a little kid playing with a toy plane out the Impala’s window.
In “After Schools Special” Dean is portrayed as a towering badass love ‘em & leave ‘em sex god
And Sam is a realistic highschool freshman.
Anyway… I figured out why this makes PERFECT SENSE! Because “After School Special” is a Sam-centric episode, and the flashback we get is thus shaped by his POV. So remembers himself accurately, but remembers Dean as this mature badass.
On the other hand “Bad Boys” is entirely Dean’s POV, so he remembers himself accurately, but remembers Sam as a sweet little kid, even though he should have been pushing into his teens at the time.
So in other words Dylan Everett (2013) and Colin Ford (2008) accurately reflect high school aged Sam and Dean at the same time. Brock Kelly is just how Sam saw Dean. And the little kid with the plane is how Dean saw Sam.
When Dean Winchester finally dies (for good, this time), Death takes a holiday.
He spends a week going to every fair and carnival in the continental US.
He eats every deep fried concoction possible.
When his holiday comes to an end, he goes to Heaven and knocks on the pearly gates with the head of his cane. He asks to speak with Dean Winchester.
Dean is surprised to find Death there when the angels bring him forward. Death swore that their last meeting, when Death personally escorted Dean’s soul to Heaven, would be the final time they ever saw one another.
“I found it,” Death tells him. “The perfect pie. It was in Muncie, Indiana. Apple, with a flaky, golden crust. The ratio of cinnamon to sugar and its balance with the tart Granny Smith…. it was just perfect. Divine, even.”
Dean stares at Death, unsure of why he is telling him this, but then he looks down. In Death’s hand is a wrinkled, white paper bag. Inside the bag is a slice of the perfect pie.
Dean takes the bag, mystified.
“Thanks for the pickle chips that time,” Death says, then disappears into the void.
