Day 6: 30 Days of Supernatural
Day 06 - Your least favourite episode
Erm. Well, there were a few episodes I wasn't thrilled with. On SPN, even the "bad" episodes are still better than what most TV has to offer these days.
All the "meh" episodes are just about on par for me. I'd say there's about half a dozen or so in all five seasons, and it's kind of hard to pick one out of those. Of those, there are two in Season 1, two in Season 3, maybe one in Season 4 and I'd say three in Season 5.
I think I'll have to go with "Bugs," because between the bad special effects, the disjointed narrative, the Indian burial ground cliché, the even more cliché wise-old-Indian, the Plot Devices of Fail™ and the Night That Lasted Only 40 Minutes™, it's pretty much a train wreck.
Pictured here: The Neverending Can of Raid™. Seriously, kids at school used to do that with hair spray, and it doesn't last that long.

THIS. A HUNDRED TIMES OVER, THIS.
So, at my mindless temp job today, I figured out how to get work done while scribbling fic scenes and brainstorming on spare paper. Filled up a whole page with an outline of how Sam worked through high school to get to college, including details of when Dean knew about it. The way I figure it, he had to have known Sam was dead serious about it by sophomore year, and while I'm sure he always had issues and felt sad about it, he was also supportive because he knew how much Sam wanted it. And I think he hustled up money at least once to help pay for one of Sam's college app fees. And he also kept it secret from John until Sam told him himself (although maybe that wasn't such a great idea).
Then I might have gotten a bit carried away with the fluffiness, as I was considering how Sam debated among his top choices (i.e., those that offered full rides - and if Stanford did, that couldn't have been the only one, especially as I figure he divided his apps between Ivy-league schools and state universities, then maybe a couple of extreme back-ups), and I thought that he undoubtedly talked about it with Dean, and Dean half-jokingly suggested Stanford for the California babes and weed, and that's the one Sam ends up picking. IT COULD TOTALLY HAVE HAPPENED.
