“I’ll finally get some face time with Daisy Duke… my deepest, darkest desire.”
Reference: The Dukes of Hazzard
Episode: 11x13 “Love Hurts”
Writer: Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder
Spoken To: Sam Winchester
Media Type: Television
Timeframe: 1979-1985
Description: The adventures of the fast-drivin', rubber-burnin' Duke boys of Hazzard County. Daisy Mae Duke is a fictional character, played by Catherine Bach. She was the cousin of Bo and Luke, the main protagonists of the show, who were themselves cousins to each other. Daisy would frequently become involved in the Dukes' car chases, using one of her cars, including the 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner or the 1980 Jeep CJ-7 "Golden Eagle" christened "Dixie".
NOTE: I know there was a 2005 movie remake of Dukes of Hazzard, but Dean mentions right after this that he’s had a crush on Daisy Duke since he was seven, which means it has to be the original!

supernatural s10e6 ask jeeves (w. eric charmelo, nicole snyder)
i looked her up because she reminds me of tissea from the witcher (spoiler alert looking her up apparently, i've been [sadly] bored to tears with s3 so i haven't finished it) but she was in coyote ugly! so i did recognize her. ish
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
s10e6 / coyote ugly - izabella miko as cammie / the witcher - myanna buring as tissaia
Tumblr media
we got an spn / xfiles / the magicians / the killing actor! 🎉
and he was in the tooms episode of the x-files! (along with two others). and he was the faith healer in spn s1e12 faith, didn't recognize him at all with the sunglasses
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the x-files s1e3 squeeze - kevin mcnulty as agent fuller / the magicians s2e1 km as knight of crowns / the killing s1e13 km as gas station manager
saw a gifset of this recently and spent plenty of time staring and rolling my eyes then. also, toxic masculinity/machismo is very much an issue in the culture but hello cuban coffee colada which comes with the ittiest bittiest cups (think basically creamer cups) for sharing. *pining for miami*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
making my 😒 face at dean/writers right now
DEAN Bobby had secrets, man. Like loving on Tori Spelling. If he only knew Dean cheated on her.
cue my brain trying to dig up an old memory of 90210 character names
but no, apparently, her actual spouse Dean McDermott (m. 2006). dean knows this? i can't predict what pop culture stuff dean might know or not. (like interweb?) and like last episode where he didn't know who calliope was, yet he's supposedly read the odyssey?
from s4e14 sex and violence (my recap)
DEAN Like Greek myth siren, The Odyssey? ...Hey, I read!
just say no to dumbing down dean winchester.
Tumblr media
also i don't think it's necessarily just sam's haircut that's so odd in this season, but it looks like it's getting blown out too. weird. it's normalish for his look in the front but very ~done~ in the back at times
just say yes to shutting up and watching, nic
Tumblr media Tumblr media
s10e6 as heddy / new girl - gillian vigman as kim (schmidt's boss)
but there's more people i recognize 🥲 this is going to take forever. feels very... Clue-like
she calls them adorable, dean engages flirt-mode, sam makes a face. however! for what it's worth! i appreciate that as he's gotten older the rando side character women he flirts with are also regularly around his age or older
Tumblr media
BEVERLY Oh but you’re welcome to spend the night. All the rooms sleep two.
Tumblr media
HEDDY [slaps Dean’s butt] Or three.
i... okay. mad at the insinuation that sam and dean are sleeping together (?? do they know they're brothers or assuming married?? this show.), but happy about the butt slap/threesome offer?
DEAN You stay here. Keep an eye on Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard. I’ll sniff around.
okay then. Clue it is
DASH Well Sam, I’ll let you in on a little family secret. We don’t really like each other. Then again, what family does? SAM Mine does. Uh, for the most part. It’s just my brother and me, so…
this is how the show has a chokehold on me. just when my commitment to watching every episode wavers, they're like oh but would you like to hear about how much sam and dean looove each other 🥺🥹
Tumblr media
maybe toss sam a text before you go into the secret room
Tumblr media Tumblr media
cute
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
is this all just an elaborate ad? lol
look at sam, sending a text to dean about the dude being dead. good job guys
HEDDY Did you see how long his fingers his fingers were? SAM There…there’s just. HEDDY First of all, did you see this? Look how long…
Tumblr media
and then at this point in the screenshot she's saying 9 inches?? whaaat is happening
did someone get a ruler out. and measured his..... hand
Tumblr media
this episode is a lot
HEDDY I knew those boys were trailer trash the moment they rolled up in that American-made. BEVERLY Not to mention homosexuals. HEDDY Ugh. Homosexual murderers. Like Leopold and Loeb.
guess we're just gonna ignore they're brothers now.
‘Scream’ Screenwriter Kevin Williamson Confirms Billy and Stu’s Queer-Coded Relationship Was Based on Real Gay Killers - huh, well thanks for leading me to that, wikipedia article on leopold and loeb!
DASH Then where have you been hiding all these years? OLIVIA The attic. AMBER Like in the movie.
Reference to Flowers in the Attic, which is a story about children born of an incestuous relationship, who are hidden away in the attic of a wealthy relative
i was trying to think of what it could be referring to that wasn't flowers in the attic because hello incest reference, but okay
SAM I mean….all those extra shots after the shifter was already dead. What was that? DEAN I don’t know. Target practice? SAM Come on, man. I’m serious. You sure it wasn’t….I don’t know, demon residue or something to do with the Mark, or...
demon residue made me laugh
dean getting defensive and weird, i'm sure he's fine
LOL all right (wiki)
Shortly before the episode aired, in November 2014, a Supernatural version of Clue was released.
what an odd episode.

Also, the Destiel shippers have attacked Eric Charmelo, openly gay former writer as homophobic when he wrote for the show. I guess because he wrote Dean as being interested in women w/ Nicole Snyder. Even Berens was getting called a misogynist and accused of writing hetero-pedo fantasies in S11, before they decided he was their Destiel savior.
Yep. For shippers who are hellers, the ship is not just something they like or wanted to be a thing. It's A Very Important Crusade and anyone who doesn't support it is The Evil Enemy. So everything is framed in reference to supporting - or not - the ship, whitewashing or villainizing as necessary.
Which leads to nonsense like calling a gay writer a homophobe for showing Dean still being interested in women despite all their meta. Or calling Berens a pedo for showing the bond between Dean and Amara when she was still in a child-size vessel, because they take Dean's interest in anyone or anything they can't make about the angel as an insult/threat to their ship. Of course, as soon as Berens started giving them scenes they could turn into ship fodder, that was completely tossed aside and forgotten. Which again just proves they don't give a single solitary shit about any of the social justice morality police bullshit they spout beyond using it as a weapon to try to get their way.

2018: Twitter- pasladeuxieme, battingpractice, and TeamFreeWillBT
Context: After the SPNUK 2018 J2M panel question about eyefucking being a stage direction in scripts between Dean and Cas, several factions began engaging in discussions and arguments about the intent behind the spn writers’ word choice. In response to this, on May 8th 2018, pasladeuxieme tweeted out a series of tweets and screenshots from 8x02′s yellow pages to show where they remembered seeing the use of “eye-fuck” in the script as shorthand for an intense stare for the brothers, Sam and Dean.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pasladeuxieme: “Was telling Bri while I couldn't remember one between Dean and Cas, I could vaguely remember seeing 'eyefuck' in the stage directs of one of the scripts we have - found it :p ‘[image:
"What's Up, Tiger..." Yellow Pages 7/26/12 9. 2  CONTINUED :                                         12
SAM So things like that don't ever happen again.
Ms. Tran takes that in the pain of Eunis still fresh. Then-- she EYES Kevin.
MS. TRAN Prophet of the lord, huh? (then, a warm smile) That does have a nice ring to it.
A note of approval-- Kevin smiles sweetly...
MS. TRAN I'll get packed. Ms. Tran makes for her bedroom.
Dean turns to Sam--
DEAN We're gonna need a new safe-house, since Crowley's been to the cabin--
MS. TRAN (stopping in her tracks) Safe house? I thought we were going after the tablet?
DEAN We are. You're taking a trip to the demon-free zone.
MS. TRAN And risk letting Kevin fall into the hands of this Crowley, again? (then, firm) I don't think so.
Sam and Dean exchange an EYEFUCK-- here we go.
SAM Ma'am, Dean's right. Crowley-- he's not just a killer. He trades in torment. And if he can find a way to separate you from your soul? He'll take it to Hell and roast it 'til there's nothing but black smoke...]’”- 9:19 PM May 8, 2018

MS. TRAN So, a soul is more valuable than a life?
SAM Ma'am, a soul is forever. Your life is just a vessel... (then) It would really be best if you left this to us.
Ms. Tran takes a good long beat to consider that. Then--
MS. TRAN I understand. (then) But it's not my soul I'm worried about-- it's my son's.
She's STRONG. Sam and Dean trade an OMINOUS LOOK-- fearing the worst. Then turn to Kevin.
DEAN Gonna back us up here, Kev? (then) We came all the way out here to pull her ass out of the fire and now she wants to jump back in.
KEVIN Like I can tell her what to do.

That stops Dean COLD-- fork hovering by his mouth. Dean looks over to Sam-- remembering his own Mother. Sam gives him a slight shrug, knowing the kid's right.

That Drink Pour - a Meta Homage to Ben-Hur & Classic Hays Era Queercoding?
Tumblr media
This 6x06 scene  - was strange to say the least
Tumblr media
(Left) Boyd, Mentally playing this as a sex scene                        (Right) Heston, Has no idea what the director told Boyd
Long post analysis of the pour under the cut
Ben Hur came out in 1959 based on a 1880 novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. It won 11 Academy Awards. The tangentially biblical saga checked every box for "morality" and "red blooded" American film, including a staring roll for macho menman Charlton Heston. They wanted Paul Newman or Rock Hudson, but they got Charlton Heston.  If you asked the general audience, the movie portrayed the tragic turn of two profoundly loyal friends to bitter enemies. But what if we asked the screen writer? 🤔  
Enter a fateful conversation between screenwriter Gore Vidal and director William Wyler about the exact nature of the two characters, Ben-Hur (Heston) and Messala.  Gore Vidal revealed in 1995 that he wrote the two as ex-lovers who became bitter enemies. Full stop. The head screenwriter told director Wyler that they could do it all in subtext, they needn't say a single line of dialogue. It would go over the heads of most of the audience, but to those who understood? it would be absolutely clear. Wyler said okay, but don't tell Heston.
And so, Vidal crafted a sex scene for his characters. Where one slowly poured a drink for the other. The writer was in on it. The director was in on it. and Stephen Boyd, the actor playing Messala was in on it. ... but Cheston had no idea. “So Heston thinks he’s doing Francis X. Bushman [Ben-Hur in the silent version]. And Stephen Boyd is acting it to pieces. There are looks that he gives him that are just so clear.”   - Vidal
Tumblr media
The music swells.
Tumblr media
/\ in on it                  completely in the dark /\
38 years later the writer recounted the story in the documentary 'The Celluloid Closet' and Heston promptly lost his shit. A shade filled response from Videl can be found here. (x)
It was a story about two friends. Two loyal friends. Who trust each other completely. Who share a profound bond with each other. The writer is secretly coding them as lovers, until, ultimately, one betrays the other. The characters never kiss on screen, but have elaborate rituals to be coded as sex in ways that will slip past the censors. Hmm.  🤔
What was the plot of Supernatural season 6 again?
Wasn't there an episode?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
/\ Jensen Ackles                   Misha Collins /\
6x06 You Can't Handle the Truth Written by Eric Charmelo, Nicole Snyder, & David Reed Directed by Jan Eliasberg Sam and Dean investigate a town plagued by Veritas, where people can't help telling the truth.
The scene feels like an amalgamation of the Ben Hur scene and a scene from North by Northwest by Hitchcock where a queercoded character, Leonard, pours whiskey into a glass to imply violation of the male lead. That actor,  Martin Landau, since acknowledged that he played the character of Leonard as gay. (x)
The rest of the season, at least the episodes from writers who were in the ‘club’ include this long arc where Cas is secretly working with Crowley, “to protect Dean”, in a plotline coded as an affair.   The reveal really started in 6x17 (x), but the coding  was never more clear than in 6x20 The Man Who Would Be King: Dean unable to fathom Cas ‘cheating on him’ (x)  and the troubled reveal that Cas got Sam out of the cage. (x) The orange glow of the fire an pain in their eyes when Dean discovers Cas was working with Crowley (x)  “You make it sound so simple. Where were you when I needed to hear it?” “I was there. Where were you?” (x) That stab through the chest when Dean looks back at Cas before running out the door. (x) Commentary on 6x20 (x)
When did the writers begin to write Destiel in purposely?  We already know that Misha was playing Cas a certain way on his own, but When did the writers and Misha come together on what they were doing? Was Jensen aware of what was happening? If so, after what point? “Don’t ruin it for everyone” “No???”  “Destiel Doesn’t Exist.” “We’re missing the gay angel” “It’s always Dean (with the bromances)” These are questions I think about often. Much more on that in an ongoing long draft that will take a long time.

SPN writers & their -girlism alignment
Eric Kripke: bibro, but with some significant Sam-girl tendencies
Sera Gamble: also bibro but more on the Dean-girl end of the spectrum
Ben Edlund: THEE Cas-girl. would write a thesis on why Cas is the best character of television
Jeremy Carver: Cas-girl but, like, for horny reasons
Andrew Dabb: Dean-girl but claims to love both brothers equally
Robert Berens: Deancas-girl, can’t separate them
Robbie Thompson: more interested in side characters or his own OCs
Meredith Glynn: Cas-girl
Davy Perez: Jack-girl
Steve Yockey: I find him hard to pin down?? in the end I’m settling on him being a Sam-girl who is also a deancas truther
John Shiban: Dean-girl
Raelle Tucker: Dean-girl
Jenny Klein: honestly don’t like her episodes well enough to have a good idea, but she wrote “Just My Imagination” so I’m giving her Sam-girl status
Adam Glass: definitely a Dean-girl
Cathryn Humphris: pretty split, but she wrote “Born Under a Bad Sign” so I’m giving her to the Sam-girls
Julie Siege: Sam-girl I guess
Daniel Loflin: most of his episodes were with Dabb so it’s hard to see what was whose -girlism coming out, but he wrote “Citizen Fang” so I’m betting he’s also a Dean-girl
Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder: might be a divisive opinion, but I’m actually going to call them Sam-girls
Buckleming: Mark Pellegrino-girls

I’m a day late for #InternationalWomensDay, but we were wrapping our incredible pilot, run top to bottom by a powerhouse group of women, yesterday. I was soaking up their wisdom, goodness, gumption, brilliance, and boundless creativity all day. I said I wouldn’t cry when “that’s a wrap!” was called, but I did. These last seven weeks have been incredible. Moving. Affirming. Exciting. Creative. And joyous. In the words of my inimitable creator and captain of this ship, @itsmekatiewech, “it’s just WORKING.” And working with these women, and our crew at large, has been a JOY. ・・・ Via Katie: “Writer/Executive Producer: Katie Wech. Director:Tamra Davis. Executive Producers: Joanna Klein and Jennie Snyder Urman. Post production Co-Executive Producer: Gina Lamar. Prop master: Nicole Johnson. Assistant Prop Master: Chloe Leonard. Art Director: Andrea Kristof. Costume Designer (Canada): Katy Siracusa. Hair Head of Department: Rossana Vendramini. Make-Up Head of Department: Julia Valente. B-Camera Operator: Sarah Mulholland. B-Camera 1st Assistant: Michelle Veza. B-Camera 2nd Assistant: Nicole Wiwchar. And that itty bitty badass holding the slate is Director of Photography, Celiana Cardenas. And that’s not to mention @sophiabush @skyepmarshall and @wendycrewson on the other side of the camera! Happy International Women’s Day from the set of Good Sam. #internationalwomensday #womeninspiringwomen” ・・・ Now, to the edit bay. #ilovemyjob ♥️

StackedNatural Day 111: 7x14, 10x13, 11x13
StackedNatural Masterpost: [x]
February 10, 2022
7x14: Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie
Written by: Andrew Dabb & Daniel Loflin
Directed by: Mike Rohl
Original air date: February 10, 2012
Plot Synopsis:
Sam and Dean are stumped. Somehow, a group of children's personal fears are becoming a reality and killing off a parent that each child has a certain hatred for.
Features:
Sam’s fear of clowns, Dean’s germaphobia, vamptopus, killer unicorn, evil Chuck-E Cheese, death by ball pit,
My Thoughts:
This is a genuinely quite fun and sweet monster of the week episode. I love when Dean gets to interact with kids and the monster was really creative and fun to watch. The effects weren’t terrible except for the rainbow coming out of the unicorn’s ass, and I can forgive that for being a big swing.
I like the rapport between the brothers in this episode, especially at the end. The fact that Sam wasn’t there when Dean was trying to get a giant slinky but still knew that he would want one was genuinely very lovely. Dean laughing his ass off at Sam covered in glitter and then throwing a clown doll at him was very realistic behavior for siblings.
The format of cutting back and forth in time was fun, although the time card “right friggin’ now” is stupid as hell.
Unfortunately I am the victim of extreme second-hand embarrassement so watching Sam’s bad-cop routine was very terrible for me. And since the rating is subjective I get to deduct points for cringe.
Notable Lines:
“Seriously, Frank, pay phones? I mean, come on. I – I'm getting the clap off this thing just touching it.”
“Just know that 99.99% of all clowns can't hurt you.”
“I'm sorry for... psychologically scarring you.” “Which time?”
Laura’s (completely subjective) Episode Rating: 7.6
IMdB Rating: 8.3
10x13: Halt & Catch Fire
Written by: Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder
Directed by: John F. Showalter
Original air date: February 10, 2015
Plot Synopsis:
To take his mind off of the Mark of Cain, Dean goes hunting. They track down a ghost that is killing college students through electronics and the internet.
Features:
Killer Siri, death by computer power cord, hit-and-run murders, very stupid teenagers, the philosophical implications of humans as electrical impulses, the world’s most depressing online relationship.
My Thoughts:
I mostly found this episode boring. Big difference between this and the season 7 episode today. I get annoyed when they write Cas out of an episode, especially when the reason is either stupid or more interesting than what the brothers are doing, and this episode somehow managed to do both.
The dialogue was weak, and Dean staring at all the college girls comes off as pathetic rather than suave when he’s 10 years older than all of them and lying to put himself in a position of power over them. There was a light sprinkling of slutshaming over the whole scene with the first sorority girl. It’s also very clear that the writers have apparently never spoken to a female person between the ages of 8 and 30. No one is typing out “#curious” or “#confused” unless it’s ironic to your friends. I was literally a girl in college when this episode came out and I promise we were not doing that.
It bums me out that they got the rights to play a Hozier song in this episode and they wasted it on background music for a scene that none of the main characters were in. Missed opportunities abound.
The connection to the season plot at the end of the episode was weak. Even Jensesn’s acting, usually my lifeboat in a bad-but-not-awful episode, wasn’t enough to keep me invested.
Notable Lines:
“How do you deal?” “Whiskey. Denial. I do my best to make things right, whatever that may be.”
“But take it from me…the more you kill, the crazier you’ll get. The blood fuels the rage.”
Laura’s (completely subjective) Episode Rating: 4.4
IMdB Rating: 7.4
11x13: Love Hurts
Written by: Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder
Directed by: Phil Sgriccia
Original air date: February 10, 2016
Plot Synopsis:
Sam and Dean investigate a set of murders on Valentine's Day and discover they are dealing with an ancient curse. Once kissed by the curse, the person is marked to die.
Features:
The babysitter/mistress getting her heart ripped out, nanny cam footage, a Return to Love spell, a Qareen, a manhating lesbian hairdresser,
My Thoughts:
This episode was written by the same duo as Halt & Catch Fire, above. Kind of funny that they were both homages to (rip offs of?) older TV/movies. Halt & Catch Fire is based on a TV show of the same name and this one was clearly inspired by It Follows, a horror movie that came out two years before this episode.
For most of this episode I was a little bored (not nearly as badly as the last episode, at least), but I actually thought the end was interesting in a meta sort of way. Possibly it’s one of those things that’s better with the context of Chuck literally writing the story in season 15.
Everything about Dean being attracted to Amara is written as a coming out narrative. He’s keeping his true feelings trapped inside while hooking up with random women in bars, he’s cloaked in shame, he has to have an earnest conversation about his feelings with his brother, who literally responds like someone whose been waiting for you to come out so he can tell you he isn’t surprised. And then in the greater metanarrative, it’s wrapped up in this compulsory heterosexuality that the narrative is forcing on him. He’s not in love with Amara - he doesn’t actually know anything about her other than that she’s dangerous and she eats souls. He’s drawn to her because supernatural forces are making it so. @meg3point0 said, “they’re trying so hard to comphet him, and everything they do makes him gayer. I’ve never seen a character fight the narrative so hard”.
It helps that there’s no chemistry between Jensen Ackles and Emily Swallow, which is almost embarrassing when they’re both so hot. But it does really drive the metanarrative point home that their connection is not a true emotional one. Dean acts like he’s a puppet whenever he’s around her.
The rest of the episode was fine. I don’t love that the way younger employee was the one in the romantic relationship implied to be the one with power in that situation, and no one has ever said “buxom” in the last 30 years with a straight face, but it wasn’t terrible. Some things don’t make a lot of sense, like how Melissa somehow knew what motel and what room they were staying in instead of calling them, but I liked the pink in the window for that set so I forgive it.
Also, the rock-paper-scissors scene near the end was endearing enough to win back some points. I liked that Dean was so happy to have won that he took the basement anyways.
Notable Lines:
“Wow. You’re practically a feminist.”
“You’re a mystery. I can see inside your heart. Feel the love you feel. Except it’s cloaked in shame.”
Laura’s (completely subjective) Episode Rating: 7.2
IMdB Rating: 8.1
In Conclusion: We're just about 61% through Stacked, going by the number of episodes watched., and 60% based on the date.
