the Changeling Mother from 3.2 

 

Her children are in danger. A mother knows.

 

Fear pierces her heart. Her babies are young, so vulnerable. She can’t watch over and protect them every hour of the day.  

 

Predators are prowling, ready to snatch away her babies and bring them to an awful end.  She recognizes their serious stride, their suspicious eyes -- maybe they have guns, fire, or worse. 

 

What can she do?  Her children are too young to leave the nest.  She can only hope against hope, and fight with all she is to give her children a chance, a life, homes to call their own.

I've always had a soft spot for the changeling mama, after I wrote a really long meta about the imagery of suburban motherhood and its discontents portrayed in that ep.

I have to ponder what I have to say about 5.15.... but one thing i think is that it points out the anachronistic quandary that spn builds for itself -- it wants Bobby's wife to be a fifties iconic woman, when really she would have been in a polyester pantsuit. :)
