Great moments in SPN's nonverbal history

[LizzieAnne]

There's just so many great moments that didn't really need words...you've covered lots of good 'uns already.

Watching IMTOD again...

The very first scene of them in the Impala..trailed over from the S1 finale. It's still pretty shocking even now.



The look on Sam's face when the demon turns up. His face was so full of determination and hatred...even the demon turned tail and ran!



Dean discovering himself lying in a coma.



The contrast of ghost Dean looking at Sam, who's watching comatose Dean. I think that's a great shot of them both.



Bobby and Sam looking at the very damaged most important object in the universe.

Great looks, every last one of 'em Lizzie!

[RodneyIsGodney]

- every one of these looks...

Spoiler:

...no clue what episode they're from. Sorry.

S5

Spoiler:

After the battle in Swan Song when Dean is beaten and alone on his knees. The slow sad look up he does when Cas shows up.

Oh, I know, right? So sad!


- the look Sam gives Dean...or rather the piece of steak hanging from Dean's mouth after he's taken a bite of his "mini Philly cheesesteak sandwhich" and is chewing.

Just watched Nightshifter:

-Dean's face while listening to Ron tell them his theory.

-His look while watching the teller's bum on the cameras (instead of watching for the shapeshifter)

-Sam's reaction when Ron says he doesn't like him.

-Dean when his knife is found in his boot.

-Sam's look while Sherry is gushing about how brave Dean is.

-All the fantastic looks between Sam and Dean while they are arguing about the plan: Dean's thumb's up and 'ok' hand signal to Ron, Sam pointing to Ron who is standing in the light, Dean's amused chuckle about Ron's ignorance, Sam's reluctance before he finally says, "Hi, Ron." And Ron's look back.

-Dean's looks while on the phone to Henrickson.

-The looks on both their faces when Sherry faints. (I feel like I've mentioned a few of these before. Sorry if that's the case!)

-The looks on both their faces in the Impala that tells you, even before Dean says it, that they are so s****ed.

Saw The Monster at the End of This Book last night and Dean had some doozies!


- the look on Dean's face when the waitress came over and told him she gave him the wrong burger...his mouth just drops. In horror.

- when Dean asked "...and what's a slash fan?"

- Sam's subsequent look as he explains the meaning of 'slash fan' to Dean. As in Sam-slash-Dean. Together.

-Dean's face when he hears Sam's explanation. "They do know we're brothers, right?

- when the guy at the comic book store thinks Dean and Sam are LARPing. The confused look on Dean's face is priceless.

When Dean's reading Chucks manuscript at the laundromat aloud to Sam. That whole scene has a bunch of great non-verbal communication going on.

- "I’m sitting in a laundromat, reading about myself sitting in a laundromat reading about myself -–" My head hurts. The face he makes at the end of that. LOL!

- You just thought I was a d**k. Dean's face when he says that...

- Sam's face when he remarks "The guy's good."

- Sam's face as he's throwing his "gigantic darks" into the washing machine while Dean is reading..."I can't see your face but those are definitely your "brooding and pensive" shoulders. And Dean's look while saying this.

- when Dean is asking for help (praying) out side the motel, by the vending machine. Well, I feel stupid doing this. But...I am fresh out of options. So please. I need some help. I'm praying, okay? Come on. Please

- Castiel's face while he's explaining why he can't help him, specially the very end of that speech. Just so you understand... why I can't help. Misha did an incredible job in that scene and his delivery of those lines was awesome. It's one of my favorite Castiel scenes.



Okay...there's just too many to get 'em all in here.
- Dean's face during this whole interchange with Castiel.

[Crichiel]

Yeah, MATEOTB is SO loaded with nonverbal. I think I have mentioned before, my favourite is every single look the two of them does during their talk with the publishing lady. And my favourite of that scene is still the look each of them does when she asks Sam's LSAT score...or maybe Dean's annoyance that he has to show her his tattoo...or maybe....forget it, just that whole scene!!

[starg8fans]

Or when he mouthes What the f... in Sam's direction when she's gushing about the scene from Heart. Once again, he doesn't finish the last word, ratings and all.

Another great ep for nonverbal goodness was Wishful Thinking. When they find the (big)footsteps...



... when they find the porn rack...



... when they try to come up with an explanation for the trashed store.



We've already mentioned the whole scene with the teddy bear and his 'doctors', but then there was the pure glee on Dean's face when he got ready to attack the coin with hammer and chisel...



... as well as his total disbelief when the hammerhead flew off.



And finally his nonverbal exchange with the irate restaurant owner.

[starg8fans]

Just found another one. Sam's expression in The Song Remains the Same

Spoiler:

when he meets his parents - first at the door when John introduces himself (seriously, there are tears brimming in his eyes), and later when he can't stop staring at Mary.

[Crichiel]

Spoilers? ^^

[starg8fans]

Spoilers? ^^

Thanks for the reminder - fixed it.

[Jack_O'Neill_fan]

All the ones everyone else mentioned, plus in Sympathy For the Devil when

Spoiler:

Sam and Dean grab each others coats when the gate opens

[Crichiel]

IMTOD the shot of Dean leaning against the wall in the background right before he says, "Well, you sure know something." I love that the shot comes around to just where you see him, then snaps into focus on him as he delivers the line.

[Crichiel]

-Every look that passes between Sam and Dean when they see the giant teddy bear.

-Every 'single tear' moment Jensen gives us (Everybody Loves a Clown, AHBL part 2, When the Levee Breaks...)
