Memorable Moments: Supernatural 12.18 “The Memory Remains”

Welcome back to the “Memorable Moments” series for Supernatural episode 12.18, “The Memory Remains”. Once again I put together a list of what I felt were the best and most memorable moments from this episode. The list varies from episode to episode depending on what has transpired.  I hope you enjoy it and share what your picks would be! 

Best Broment

Sam and Dean return from the case. 

As Dean brings Sam and himself a beer, he comments ‘next time you hear me say our family is messed up, remind me we could be psycho goat people’ 

Dean then asks Sam what their legacy would be. Would people remember what they’ve done.

Sam says no but explains ‘Guys like us, we’re not exactly the type of people they write about in history books, you know. But the people we saved, they’re our legacy. And they’ll remember us and then I guess we’ll eventually fade away too. That’s fine, because we left the world better than we found it, you know.’ 

After a moment of contemplation Dean comments ‘ I wonder what’s gonna happen to this place, after we’re gone. You think some hunter will move in, keep fighting the fight? ‘ 

Dean then pulls out his pocket knife..

… and starts carving into the table… 

What are you doing? ask Sam. ‘ Leaving our mark.’ responds Dean and passes the knife over to Sam. 

Sam carves his initials into the table. 

 We then get a flashback of the boys when they were young….   

….  carving their initial into the Impala.  

We then get a young Sammy blowing away the wood shavings ….

…. to our ‘Now’ Sammy blowing away the shavings. 

Leaving their Mark.  

Best Sam Moment

Sam racing into the freezer… 

….and killing Moloch. 

…later a concerned Sam checks on Dean. 

Best Dean Moment

Dean getting the upper hand on the Sheriff.  

Dean tied to a chair with cellophane checks out his situation … 

… sees that he’s locked in with Moloch, and ….

… finally frees himself from the chair. (I use cellophane rolls at work and believe me, it would be very difficult to get out of this predicament. It’s very strong)

Best One Liners

Sam noticing Dean not paying attention ‘Dude, focus’ 

Dean goes to chat up the waitress ‘Oh don’t do the hot coffee thing’ 

Grow up, Sam, OK? Burger’s beef, bacon’s pigs, Soylent Green’s people, but this, this is heaven.  

‘Yeah, no, it’s cool, Medicinal purposes, right?’ 

‘Hello? Goat dude!’ 

Honestly? Sounds like a bad episode of ‘Dynasty’.  

‘Hell I’m a Bishop, that’s what we do right? Hunting people, killing them, the family business’ 

Creepiest Moment

Ketch listening in on Sam and Dean’s conversation as he longingly looks at Mary’s picture.  

Most Startling Moment

Daryn reaching for the nap-sack of money and…

…suddenly gets tried to a tree with barbwire. 

Best Alias

Agents Stark and Martell from ‘The Games of Thrones’ 

Best Make Up

The frozen body of Daryn.    

The clawed hand of Moloch. 

Best Camera Shot

The up view of Sam and Dean showing their fake badges. 

Best Angle Shot

The long view of Sam and Dean at the Coffee Shop counter. 

The up view of Sam looking down the sewage grate.  

Most Scenic Scene

The Impala (Baby) travelling down the country road. 

Best Lighting

The use of both flashlight and natural light.  

The red lighting in the freezer, giving it a more eerie feeling. Of course Moloch and the hanging meat also helped.  

Most Yummy Moment

Both Sam’s and …. 

Dean’s meals.
