Sam and Dean just look and act so normal here. Metatron… I totally missed how much the truth of books and the individual nature of a story were themes in the first half of season 9. That seemed to reflect Dean’s version of the truth versus Sam’s version, or Castiel vs. Dorothy also said “…but I know the truth…” when she was talking to Charlie about the rewrite of her life in the Oz books. What an incredible foreshadowing of Metatron’s belief that he could control people’s lives by dictating their story, and his downfall when Team Free Will wrote their own version and thwarted him. Story!! - Sam: “It’s our story, so we get to write it”. Such a strong focus on someone else writing about a character’s life. Later episodes had Metatron trashing the Carver Edlund books (i.e. Very scary implication for Demon!Dean…and Sam.īooks! – Dorothy was openly resentful of her father’s books but Charlie vehemently defended them. Also, twice someone said “I know you’re in there” to the witch’s victims, but the original personality wasn’t able to assert itself against the evil power. She either mind-controlled him or actually changed him, as the Mark has changed Dean. the witch didn’t enter as demons and angels enter their vessels. The witch’s assumption of Sam and Dean’s body and soul (or mind?) was an even more perfect parallel to the Mark of Cain because Dean’s eyes changed color and his actions were not his own, yet she didn’t actually possess him, i.e. Foreshadowing of finale? At the time, we focused on the witch’s possession of the brothers as a parallel to Sam/Zeke but it paralleled the present plot for Sam AND foreshadowed the future plot for Dean. Possession - Dean’s eyes flashing green and being taken over by the witch. So many layers that we couldn’t see or understand until we saw the entirety of season 9 unfold: During Tuesday’s live tweet rewatch party, I felt as if I was watching the story for the first time! So much of the dialogue was layered with double or even triple meanings! So what did we all see? That theory was resoundingly proven during “Slumber Party”. The theory was that the Supernatural writers might have introduced key motivational themes or foreshadowed events much earlier in the season than we originally detected. I hatched the idea of the WFB team watching Supernatural’s season 9 reruns because the premier episode “I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here” was laden with hidden implications that could only be understood after knowing the outcomes of the various storylines.
