Supernatural 1x20 - Dead Man's Blood
"Hey, and Dean, why don't you touch up your car before you get rust? I wouldn't have given you the damn thing if I thought you were gonna ruin it."
OH MY GOD JOHN WINCHESTER.
OH MY GOD.
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ALREADY. DON'T DIE, JOHN WINCHESTER! YOU'RE LIKE BAMBI'S MOM AND ONE TIME WHEN I WATCH THIS SHOW, JUST ONE TIME THINGS WILL TURN OUT DIFFERENT, I KNOW IT!
Sam: "Hey, dad, whatever happened to that college fund?" John: "Spent it on ammo."
Okay so one time I calculated out how much it probably takes to keep Sam and Dean running, counting only motel/gas/food, and came up with, umm, a lot of money, and then tried to add into it weapons and ammo after estimating rates that they went through them (very unscientifically, I might add), and I mean, okay, MINIMUM we're probably looking at something like $40,000 a year for their little operation (okay, I really guesstimated with some things, and think it's likely to be higher). That seems like A LOT of pool-hustling and credit card fraud (given estimated limits on credit cards for, you know, "Wedge Antilles" or whoever). They really need to show Dean doing these things onscreen more. Or whoring his pretty little self out for cash. But anyway, the college fund thing did partially answer my "!?!?!MONEY!?!?!?" question, which has actually been a pressing concern the whole time I was watching the show. Logistics of non-scifi tv shows always bother me, lol.
Also if anyone has anyone ELSE's estimates of the Winchesters' expenses and incomes (such as they are), I'd be interested. I KNOW someone out there in the wide world of teh intarwebs has done a full work-up. I mean, the Supernatural wiki has PIE CHARTS about WHICH SHIRTS THEY WEAR MOST, and extensive speculation on how often they do their laundry, and MORE pie charts on lock pickin', door kickin', and gun shootin', so someone with more money knowledge than me must have done some kind of thing. Maybe I'll find some supernatural search comm and ask there. | |
