Saving People, Queering Things

It's a Sam Winchester Birthday spectacular, as we announce our rebrand to Saving People, Queering Things, and discuss the first part of the season two finale. Join hosts Abigail, Noah, and Elayna, as they wonder along with the Winchesters how one defines reality when a demon's been pulling the strings.

When Dean finds himself trapped in a dream where he has everything he's ever wanted, he'll have to face the difficult decision between redemption and what's real. Join hosts Abigail, Noah, and Elayna, along with guest host Renny, as they dig into Dean's heart and the hard choices he'll have to make between saving his brother or living the quiet, peaceful life he could have had if he'd never become a hunter.

Protection is the name of the hunter's game, but who deserves to be protected? In an episode where Sam and Dean make the voluntary decision to get arrested, Dean takes an anti-death penalty stance, we question if John thought the world needed to be protected from Sam, and we challenge the idea that Deacon is heroic based on the violence he exhibits. Our favourite conversation this week centres around Tiny, who is humanized in a really important way, and how his story is another mirror of the Winchester's relationships.

What kind of joy do we find in our work? It's a pop culture and meta madness extravaganza this week - join Abigail and new guest host Ian as they talk about 2:18: Hollywood Babylon through the lens of Enjoyment. They swap nerd stories, revel in all the moments where Dean gets to be an unapologetic dork on this case, and talk about Dean's Hollywood crushes.

What is the meaning of innocence in a world that's full of monsters? Join Abigail and Sam as they discuss mirroring characters within this episode's narrative arc, as well try to define what exactly constitutes "evil" in a world that the Winchester brothers are learning is more morally gray than they were raised to believe.

So will there be peace when they are done? Abigail and special guest KJ from Supernatural Opinions discuss this unique episode that is told almost exclusively from the POV of the very ghost Sam and Dean are hoping to put to rest. Listen in for an awesome talk about what it means for spirits to find peace, and how sometimes the hardest part is letting go.

Growing up in the hunting life has never been easy, but Sam and Dean sure have a lot of it to do this episode. Join Abigail and Elayna for a our first romp with everyone’s favorite Trickster, who is causing a string of strange deaths that cause the boys to reach out to Bobby for help. We dig into unreliable narration, the boys mixed perceptions of one another, and more in this episode that’s dripping with both mischief and heart.

Can you be disillusioned if you never expect anything good to happen? Abigail and new host Elayna talk about how both Sam and Dean have their concept of each other shattered in this episode, how Dean again refuses to kill Sam (or to believe Sam could be evil), and the return of Meg! We talk about the free will of “nobody can control you but you” and how monsters are catching onto the fact that the best way to get to the brothers is through each other.

Who deserves mercy? Abigail & Klaudia explore "Houses of the Holy" and how Sam and Dean individually deal with questions of faith. They discuss how Sam's faith sustains him and how Dean's lack of faith is challenged.  Klaudia and Abigail also bond over their shared experiences in fandom on Tumblr in the 2010s and make many, many references to other works such as Tangled, Star Wars, & Doctor Who. 

This is a spoiler-full episode, because we couldn't resist making connections to future storylines!  Listen for many Castiel, angels, and Destiel references in this episode. Spoilers for Seasons 4, 5, 11, and 15.

What happens if we use technology out of fear? Jacob, Sam & Abigail explore "Nightshifter", the return of shapeshifters, and the tragic earnestness of Ronald. They reflect on the fact that Dean connects more with Ronald than Sam does and question what might have happened if the Winchesters had not pretended to disbelieve his interpretation of the situation. Abigail also takes a great deal of joy from saying "Mandroid", which does not help them seem any less Dean-coded.
