spn vid rec - war drums by izzerial
In continuing adventures in youtube....
War Drums by izzerial, SPN, gen - you know, just watching this, it's a lot less like a weekly adveture and a lot more like a war.
Some of the clips are--odd, but it's very intense. I'd give a lot to get it in a higher res, but--yeah. I feel unsettled.
Okay, it gave me intense flashbacks to horror movie trailers, which was freaky, and the speed of the earlier cuts--enough time to identify and tense, then go black--was really--I don't know. I watch the show for God's sake, but the vid is giving me that vague The Ring twitch that causes sleeplessness and a latent desire to pulverize my tv via blowtorch and sautering iron.
It could be just me on that one, but man, that was a deeply, deeply effective beginning.
ETA: OH!
Dean serial killer? I keep getting hung up on that knife showing up so much and when it shows up. And the juxtaposition of Sam digging the grave, sleeping, then waking up suddenly--seriously, anyone else get that?
Okay, yes, I know it's *not*, but--seriously. If you recut the beginning by two scenes, it looks like Dean and his knife are after that blonde chick, and seriously, unsettled now.

From:But yeah, very disturbing. The music was a factor in that...
Something(s) much sillier, if you haven't seen them:

From:THAT WAS HYSTERICAL.
Also, I'd be so drunk, so fast. I will seriously nto be able to do anything but watch Dean lick his lips when the new season starts.

From:The blurb calls it 'morbid speculation', and with all the flashes to shifter!Dean--I think it might be a riff on what would have happened if Skin had ended differently, with the real Dean dead, and the shapeshifter replacing him entirely.
Or, maybe it's just what Hendrickson sees when he looks at Sam and Dean.

From:I don't know. I love the Skin AU theory, because that seems to fit in with the number of clips from the episode, but there are some bits that don't fit so well. The flashes from the pilot where John's clutching the boys, and the shots of Sam's picture of John and Mary would make more sense if this was in Dean always from the beginning. The split personality theory is scarier, I think.

From:Hmm, also possible, same idea, but Dean's the one that died in tha ep, and Sam kept around the shapechanger for your reasons above.
*purrs* I cant' watch it now, it's, y'know, *night*.
