And yet, by slowing down the action literally, how long did that camera pan Sams dead body?
Its this kind of innovation that makes this show worth watching 200 episodes in.
If only he knew that would lead to his getting shot.

(If Dean had known that, he might not have saved them.)
And conveniently, its a place where theres no cell phone service.
Realizing that Dean is never going to leave his brother behind, Corbin takes matters into his own hands.
When Dean steps outside to build something on which to carry Sam, Corbin suffocates the youngest Winchester.
And when Dean finds Sammy, well, thats when the tears really start to flow.
It could be fun, he says as the camera flashes back to his lifeless body.
When Michelle tells him that death is not the end, Dean realizes what he has to do.
Dean needs to talk to Billie, and that means he needs to die.
So Sam isnt dead, and Dean is about to kill himself?!
(Again, Ive stopped breathing just writing about this moment.)
As far as Billies concerned, her answer to Dean will always be no.
Shes not playing any games.
No more second chances, no more extra lives.
But as she tells Luigi to say goodbye to his Mario wouldnt Sam be Luigi based purely on height?
Dean asks for the all-too-familiar-trade: His life for Sams.
Its a deal weve watched Dean make before.
Its that exact deal that sent Dean to hell at the end of season 3.
If Sam is brought back to life, Dean will fill his place.
Only, as Billie informs Dean, Sams not dead.
Trust her, If the Big W bit it, Id get a call.
(Interesting that Sam is the Big W, right?)
And thankfully, Deans not dead either.
Corbin has gone full werewolf.
And just before Corbin chokes out yet another Winchester, Sam shows up and shoots him.
Turns out, Sam didnt die.
Now, he just needs a bit of rest before hes back to normal.
As to what Dean did when he thought Sam was dead?
I knew you werent dead, Dean tells his younger brother, fooling absolutely no one.
Then, it can turn around and have typical case-of-the-week episodes.
And once again, the risk pays off.
