I haven't watched the reaction yet, but I just wanted to say that I smile every time you make a political comment or side eye lol Because I agree with you every time. I respect your openess and authenticity. If the UK and Australia can make drastic changes after just one tragic event, so can we. I loved your comparison to Sam being Dean's whole world, but realizing that keeping his world the same wasn't worth upending everyone else's. Also, the first thing I thought of when you mentioned changes being made in the media due to gun violence was that Stephen King pulled his short story Rage from publication due to at least 5 mass shootings, in which the shooter owned a copy of Rage.

2021-07-19 14:35:31 +0000 UTCAlso fun fact to lighten this convo, Meghan Ory, the actress from this episode (and from OUAT) once guest starred on an episode of Dark Angel where she played Jensen's ill fated love interest. I highly recommend watching the series if you haven't. That episode is my very favorite of the series.

2021-07-12 07:54:55 +0000 UTCShelley, I finally got a chance to watch your response to my previous comment in this vid. I detailed my POV on the issue under Mike and Helen's responses above. My issue with what you said wasn't that you said f the 2nd Amendment, but that you said f it and anyone who supports it. I'm just not the type of person who hates people who have a different view than me. I respect your view on the 2nd Amendment. Obviously, you feel passionate about it. As I've been watching your reactions since you first started doing them on YT and I've been a patron for awhile it did kind of hurt I guess to see someone you genuinely like basically say screw you because you have a different POV than me. I'm an inner city high school teacher with 3 school aged kids of my own, so if you think that school shootings don't scare me you're wrong. I remember Columbine clearly (and I was a Buffy fan so I remember the episode that didn't air until months later). I was 19 at the time, just out of high school. It's one of the reasons I became a high school social studies teacher. My goal has always been to leave a positive impact on my students. They are like my adopted kids themselves. Like I said I gave more of my opinion under Mike's thread above. I am not immovable on the topic of gun rights. The far left and the far right are immovable and like for many other issues in our nation that's the problem. Maybe if we all took the time to sit down, listen, and find a compromise we could make a difference. All this screaming back and forth at one another doesn't do anyone any good, especially the thousands of young lives destroyed by drug related gun violence in our inner cities each year, or the lives lost in school shootings because of teens who were bullied, ignored, or were dealing with mental health issues and no one cared to notice until it's too late. Our children are the reason to talk about it. I'm sure we can agree on that.

2021-07-12 00:37:41 +0000 UTCStatistics show that most shootings are also committed with illegal firearms in high crime neighborhoods in large cities. Most gunowners who own legal firearms live in the country or small towns. Most of their guns are used for hunting. Very few shootings in our country are committed in rural areas or small towns. The gun ownership in my county is (as of a 2010 survey) just under 60% of households. I live in a mostly rural county south of a large city. I live in our largest town with a population of 10,000. Our town has had 1 shooting in the last 40 years. One. That shooting was 2 years ago at the house directly behind mine and involved my neighbor's teenage son who was involved with selling drugs and gang related activity in the city. A gang member found him at his parents' home (where he had run off to hide after a botched drug deal) and shot him on their front sidewalk with an illegal firearm. None of the 60% of legal gun owning households in our county has led to even one shooting. Yet, in the nearby city there's a shooting everyday involving gangs and drugs, usually with illegally obtained guns. It's not the gun that commits the crime, it's the person. Responsible gun owners, like myself, should not be forced to give up our guns, which we have a right to own. What we need to do is get gangs off our streets, provide better educational opportunities in our inner cities for at risk youth, provide better services for mental health, and keep drugs from reaching our streets. I'm also in support of better background checks for gun ownership. I just can't look at this (or many issues) as black and white, all or nothing. There's room for compromise, but unfortunately in our nation no one wants to consider that anymore. Let me add, also, that I'm a high school teacher in an inner city high school, so the fear of a school shooting is always in the back of my mind, yet the biggest danger the kids I teach face is growing up with parents who aren't around, or are in and out of prison, or are drug addicts, or older siblings who are in gangs, and a lack of community outreach to keep these kids from making destructive choices. So many of poor inner city kids are lost to drugs and gangs by the time they start junior high. There has to be a way to reach these kids and their families earlier. Changes have to come from within these neighborhoods first and if that were to happen we could see a huge drop in deaths by gun violence.

2021-07-10 13:43:55 +0000 UTCThe statistics are clear. The most likely person to be shot with a gun kept to "protect the family" is the owner's spouse or their child.

2021-07-10 12:49:55 +0000 UTC100% agreed on the second amendment. We don't need guns as a society. We just don't. You can list any fringe case you want where it was helpful, there's so much more times where they've ended even more innocent lives. All these gun issues simply aren't really issues in most other first world countries. The US is backwards in so many ways and it's embarassing how much people just want to keep it exactly the same.

2021-07-10 04:54:26 +0000 UTCI love Frank. His backstory is so tragic. So glad he figured out the meaning to Bobby’s numbers. But Dean’s attempts to fake a smile, just break my heart every time.

2021-07-09 19:37:07 +0000 UTCSam provoked the vetala to bite him because he knew another bite on the other hunter would be fatal. It wasn't suicidal, but tactical, to save the man's life.
Helen Wood
2021-07-09 17:12:29 +0000 UTCI agree with you completely on guns. Here in the UK, we had a single school shooting and we brought in massive controls on guns. Nobody needs a gun. I have lived my whole life without ever needing one. Because of the controls on gun ownership, we never had another school shooting and murders in general are exceptionally rare here. Anyone who says their "right" to have a gun trumps someone else's right to life has some very skewed values.

2021-07-09 15:45:10 +0000 UTCHAHAHA you close up to the line “Dean and Dick go against each other” and then smirk Hahaha I cant’ So now Im crying for Dean’s faking that smile at the end like Frank told him 😭💔 As an OUAT fan watching “Ruby” as a villain was soo weird, I was like “no! What would Dorothy thinks”😩 That aside, Im forever fan of you making a connection of society with the show, really spot on. I get what you said about the fear of gunshot like if PTSD. Years ago in the block I live the houses are kind of duplex, we share walls and right next mine, criminals trowed a house made bomb and next day the shoot another one next to that one so yea, for a while even a car engine trigged me, so as firework and pretty much everything so thats understandable I love what you’re taking of this season, and like you said, maybe because you know theres more you can take this as a “ok theres time” but I know that back in the day, after all they wrote off, the show was on the edge of get cancelled, thankfully it didnt happened but yeah, people cant pass all the wrongs here (me included) but yeah, its great seen your perspective of it. See you in the next 🙌🏻

2021-07-09 14:45:53 +0000 UTCI always call this episode "Dean's second wind" The boys were just on the ropes. Bobby dying knocked the wind out of them so badly. Sam slowly starts to deal with things and I think the Hell stuff is still happening in his head though it hasn't been addressed in a while. So he's not ok, but one foot in front of the other and even staggering he moves forward. Dean was really on the ropes, not that he was sadder than Sam, it's just harder for him. Meeting that kid was the best thing to happen at that moment. Her sass and determination was just the diversion he needed to get push him down the road. As much as I worry about Sam, Dean just breaks my heart here. He was smiling alittle in the end and that makes me think he's past the worst. This is a HUGE loss for our team and like any it's just going to take some time.

2021-07-09 10:49:47 +0000 UTCI really hope Dean's smiling at the end is actually real, and not just him faking it like Frank suggested. Also it looks like you missed the part where the dude they were trying to save said that the people being fed on usually died after "three or four taps". That's why Sam goaded them into feed from him instead, the dude had already been fed on three times, any more and he'd be dead.
