They do indeed, I was so happy we got a double rec from [livejournal.com profile] sol_se, because ‘Jesus Christ’ really gets a whole new meaning when you watch your ‘Deus’ as introduction. Believe me, I did it multiply times already. It piggybacks gracefully on your larger than life shoulders. *laughs*

Yeah, the DVD source shines and made making the CW emblem go away in Season 3 all more important. Mostly zooming in, but also some multiply layers there, when I had the feeling it was too claustrophobic to zoom into Dean’s nostrils. What brings me to the gritty final, one reason against it, was that the already filtered parts would have been almost B/W and I had to ask myself the question, if that was worth the effort put into these parts. It looked fine in the 1,64 GB Huffy export, but lost its impact seized down to reasonable download size and just looked like a sloppy source or encoding error. Plus I really love how the colour pops into the enhanced scenes, it really brings out the background in some shots and the smoothness is also in favour of the dl encodes.

The ship line is really improved over the draft I sent you and took on a whole other meaning here. Not the obvious one you had to deal with… *tongue in cheek* Sam growing up and them growing apart is one of the main themes of season 3, but I think the roots go deeper even deeper than the visions or Dean running out of time or him dealing with his own shit. Sam’s personality is too similar to John’s to just take Dean’s decision as last word on the subject and while understandably it won’t start the bonding over this sacrifice soon. Sad shores indeed and them drifting apart is almost painful to watch.

I absolutely agree about Dean choosing to believe in his family and fire-power is the sane thing to do, because they come through for him. But I also like the aspect thrown in with apostle Thomas. The sceptic, who said he needed to lay his fingers in the stigmas to believe Jesus came back from the dead. Because even if Dean came so far as heavens gates all he can show off is human blood on his hands, but no marks. In both cases of the video the humans were unaware and not in control of their supernatural spice-up or the dead priest who thought he became an angel and was doing gods work instead of vengeance. But taking a human life is always huge and leaves a stain, so Dean feeling worthless and/or belonging in hell anyway just gets another layer.

Thank you so much for your incredible feedback, [livejournal.com profile] charmax and of course the rec. And call me naïve, but I think carpentry freaks are easier to handle than the ones who are enlighten and know the only saviour.
