ASK ME ANYTHING - Day Six - [livejournal.com profile] gorkonelka - wants to know what would I like to see happen on Supernatural? Some idea you have in your mind?

Honestly, I want Dean to have a season long story arc where HE is front and center. Not just three episodes (like Demon Dean) and we're right back to having all the focus on Sam. Why does Sam get arcs that last for at least 11-12 episodes on a consistent basis?

I'd love it if Benny came back. If Dean had to go back to Purgatory to rescue him and the story arc revolved around he and Dean.

Since I know that'll never happen [sigh] how about an idea for the next proposed spin-off? I'd love it if it were a prequel to SPN. With a young John on the road raising young Sam and Dean, taking them on hunts, meeting younger Bobby, etc. I'd love a better insight into John. I'd watch that spinoff in a heartbeat!

I honestly don't like taking sides when it comes to the Dean vs. Sam argument, but whenever someone points out how little of the story lines it dedicated to Dean, I can't help but agree. The demon arc was ridiculous (especially compared to Sam being addicted to demon blood), but apparently Jensen and Jared think so as well. Maybe we're lucky and they revisit it in a way which goes beyond looking and talking about the mark.

Honestly, I wish they never did that body swap episode. What a missed opportunity! If there's one thing I want to see on the show (and that I have read in fanfic), it's a proper body swap between Sam and Dean. Eureka did a great one in their last season.

I disagree, a bodyswap between Dean and Sam would make no sense whatsoever. The most the writers would get out of it is some physical humor.

I've always been against a bodyswap between the Winchesters because there's no point to it.

They're just not that different, and they don't interact with a group of people who'd show any reaction to a switch.

It wouldn't change anything, it wouldn't teach them anything about the other's life that they don't already know, spending so much time together.

A bodyswap like that is only interesting between two people with vastly different living situations, like say Buffy and faith back on btvs, or Adalind and Nick on Grimm.

On SPN, there'd just be no point to it.

Well, then we have to agree to disagree. The fact that they go their separate ways over and over again shows that they don't have enough insight into each other minds or they just ignore it. A body swap would force them to deal with. Obviously, this would result in a more serious body swap episode, because it would lead to Sam understanding what's happening with the mark, things that Dean does not want to tell him. And that's the problem. We're in season 10 and most drama and conflict is still a result of the fact that they don't talk to each other.

Jody or Charlie would be audience enough and they both would work if you want some humor in it. In addition to that, you also have two people who could help them reverse it.

Maybe it's too late and a proper body swap episode should have happened during S1-5, but I'd prefer having none at all to the mess we got.

The Eureka episode actually featured more than one body swap, so throwing in some other characters, even Castiel or Crowley, would also work.

But that's the thing, a bodyswap would in no way teach them something about the other that they don't already know.

The only points in time where a body swap might have taught the other something, was either while Sam was in Stanford, and Dean got to experience being at college, while Sam gets to know what it's like to live under John's expectations,and being on the road on his own.

Or if Sam somehow got switched with teenage Dean and got to realize what it's like to live Dean's life.

Other than that.. the whole mark of Cain, demon blood thing, is not something they could ever show properly on television as a thing worth dealing with. And once again, it wouldn't teach them anything new.

See, I have to side with [livejournal.com profile] violateraindrop on this. I would dearly love to see a proper body swap between Sam and Dean. We were completely cheated out of it the first time around. Another huge missed opportunity.

Not every episode has to teach the boys something. It can be a purely fun episode. I’d love to see Dean inside Sam hitting his head on things because he forgets how tall Sam is, etc. Nothing wrong with some straight up humor because we know Jensen and Jared do it so well.

I know, same here. But it’s in black and white. I’m not making this stuff up! It’s a proven fact that the majority of the “mythology” episodes since the show started have centered around Sam. It didn’t really bother me until the demon blood arc and it’s just gotten worse from there.

The demon arc was ridiculous (especially compared to Sam being addicted to demon blood), but apparently Jensen and Jared think so as well.

I was really glad to read that, that the boys wanted much more out of that, too.

I miss Benny so much. Dean finally had a friend and a “monster” at that. I mean, that was huge for Dean, to be able to look past that. And yet he pushed Benny away all because of Sam chosing to leave that stupid vet. What one thing had to do with another I’ll never understand. Another thing I’ll never forgive Sam for.

I think that was very wrong of Sam to demand Dean cut ties with Benny and quite unfair.

I have to disagree about your idea on a spin off.

Mostly it's because we already know all the answers John was looking for, and we already know that even if he gets any of his questions answered, it wouldn't change anything about his situation.

It's why any more info on john's backstory is best left to flashback scenes on the original show, because there just isn't enough of a story there to make an entire spin off about it.

What would make an interesting spin off is a show about Ellen when she was younger. Seeing her meet Bill, start the Roadhouse. Running into younger John, making friends with him, with John as a small time supporting character who shows up at most a few times a season, until he finally gets Bill killed.

That's a story that would show us something new, get us a new side of the hunter world that we haven't seen yet and would allow us to see things from a different pov.

Or Mary Campbell, teenage hunter, that would be interesting as well if you do have to go for a backstory. Since we don't know nearly as much about her and her family as we do about John's.

Oh lord not the Roadhouse! That was what I hated the most about that season. Mainly because I didn’t like Ellen or Jo at all and I really don’t have a desire to watch an entire show about them, sorry!

And I disagree that we wouldn’t see something new if it were a prequel with John and the boys. There’s a lot about their childhood that’s been completely untouched on the show.

But a spin off about Mary...yeah, I could definitely get behind that idea.

I can´t agree more even if I try. I love Sam but I would kill for a season evolving around Dean. I think that all that demon!Dean is not finished yet but I need more Dean in my life.

Benny my love - I hate how little episodes... just like 10 or so they were flashbacks on purgatory. Their relatioship was unique and I love Ty so much it hurts and his Benny had something special. He was so codependent on Dean and Dean treated him like a real friend. It was good :(

I would love spin-off like that. But more Bobby than John would be great.

Thank you for beautiful fill

Oh, I’d love to delve deeper into Bobby’s past! We got several glimpses along the way but I’d love to see him with young Sam and Dean.

:) Exactly. In my mind I blame Sam for being a little bit selfish and jealous of what Dean was able to have with Benny. He trusted him when Sam was not looking out for him, but he was beeing all handsy and weird with Amelia instead. Sam operated on "if I can´t have Amelia, you are not allowed to have Benny" like a 5 year old child. Well... this only ads a reason why I love Dean more (I´m not saying that I don´t love Sam as well) but I only can trully relate with Dean (every single time).

Bobby my dear. I recommend you to buy "Bobby´s quide to hunting" it´s amazing book focused on character of Bobby. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.

Yes! It was absolutely jealousy, plain and simple. And it was Sam’s own fault! If he’d have just gone looking for his brother, Amelia and Benny wouldn’t have been been an issue. And shame on Dean for giving in to Sam and letting Benny go when Sam could’ve cared less about Dean. That always really upset me.

I, too, have always related more to Dean since Day One. Maybe because I’m an older sibling, too?

Oh I have Bobby’s book! I loved it!
