The Best Deleted Scenes
Season Two>
In My Time of Dying
This is a fun scene. Dean watches a hot woman start to get undressed during an examination. He decides to use his ghostly power to watch behind closed doors, only to be grabbed by bloody man that can see him. It’s my guess (I’m sure the real story is out there somewhere) the bloody man idea was dropped completely because of time and it didn’t fit. Either that or someone like Kim Manners smacked Kripke up the side of the head and said it was a stupid idea. Either way, it’s more fun bonus material.
Bloodlust
Again, not a bad scene, but it was likely cut because of overkill and time. The idea that Dean is overzealous to kill vampires no matter how normal and peaceful they are behaving is shown throughout the episode in better ways than this conversation (aka, his unhinged killing of the vampire with the saw). Without this scene, the conflict between the two brothers in the motel parking lot becomes far more powerful.
Hunted
It’s a shame they didn’t find time for this, for the extra minute of Ash giving the worst pickup lines to a hot chick at the Roadhouse is pretty amusing. “I’m going to take you to Waffle House. No Olive Garden.†Her put down? She just decided she was gay. Then Ash calls an interrupting Sam “Sam I am†before griping about him c-blocking him. Given how much was in “Hunted†though, I can see why this got cut. It really didn’t fit. This is exactly why deleted scenes make the DVD sets!
I love the deleted scenes, it is one of the first things I check out when I get the DVD set. I was rather disappointed when I got the Season 3 set and poof… no deleted scenes.
I also think the scene with Dean looking at his watch in The Pilot, may have gotten cut in part also because if you watch when the Impala turns around to go back to Sam and Jessica’s, you can see Sam in the passenger seat. Maybe lots of people wouldn’t have noticed it, but I have this crazy thing that my late husband and I use to do. We used to see who could spot inconsistencies in tv shows and movies. The one who could spot the most, could ask for a special favor. ;-), Okay I admit my special favor most of the time was him doing the laundry for the week. 😀 And sometimes old habits die hard. But I digress, again, as usual.
Thanks Alice, your list is great as usual. I did really love the Chuck montage of one liners. Made me giggle. Out of the extras on the DVD’s, deleted scenes rank #2 for me. The Gag Reel is always #1.
Thanks for this interesting article. 🙂 I’ve always thought that the deleted scenes for the past seasons (I have not seen the DVD for Season 5 yet) provided some interesting insight.
This was fun, Alice!
I always check out the deleted scenes and put them into the episode within my head. It often paints a bigger picture, though some are, as you point out above, quite unnecessary. I hope there are some on the dvds of the fifth season, too. And on the upcoming ones….
THanks a lot, Jas
Hi Alice
I too love the deleted scene and as with Jasminka, I like to invision them into the episode.
What…only two mentions of Sam and Dean’s airport scene? That one has stuck in my mind forever.
Loved the article, Alice.
Hi, Alice,
I’m late to this party but I hadn’t seen that portion of the DVDs yet so I didn’t want to be spoiled! (Huh, so there’s my will power on spoilers, wondered where it got to!)
Anywho, I do enjoy these deleted scenes, next to the gag reel they’re my next stop when I get the DVDs. Actually a bit bummed that all there is this year is for episode 9, would have hoped for some more. On the other hand, the snippets that we get with Bobby’s voiceover are pretty fun and I enjoy ‘prowling’ through his house.
Only one more week until Season 6 comes…way cool
I’m also late to the party because took me extra time to rip the plastic off my S5 DVD set and watch the special features.
I have to say I was disappointed that “the” cut Sam scene from FTBYAM wasn’t on the DVD. This is the only time I’ve known before DVD came out that a specific scene was cut .. and I was looking to see on DVD.
in the bluray of season 6 theres a easter egg of a deleted scene in the western ep but thats it season7 will have deleted scene so I was told. the season 5 had not a damn thing on the dvd and I am pissed the sex part with sam and that girl well not good for the story but damn it I wanted to see it they got something on youtube but I want more.
