Author Notes: I don’t know why this fic was hard to write, but hopefully you still like it.
YES! I think that the good old days would be fascinating. And the fact that we get to travel in time and see things like Mary and John in their younger years. I mean, Mary was a kick-ass hunter when she was younger; John was a former Marine. Had they combined their skills and knowledge and taught their kids how to hunt in a safe, kind environment, who knows what would have happened to the boys.
I also adore thinking about things like, life before the Internet, cell phones, etc. I think it might be interesting for younger viewers watching seasons where the boys have to hang out at the library for an entire afternoon researching a small town. They had to actually travel to the town in order to access their resources and then decide, yes there is a case, no there isn’t. I bet a lot of trips were made that ended up in frustration.
And I think we get a taste of this in probably the first three seasons the most; where we see the boys following closer to what was written in John’s journal. I mean, they boys also talked about being left behind in certain areas for extended amounts of time. John’s gotta drive probably 8 or so hours, spend a day or two doing research, spend a day with the local authorities, spend a day or two hunting, and then drive back. Like, a legit hunting trip would have taken a week, minimum. While he’s out there, it would be so much easier for him to have just gone “oh, I’m only 4 hours away from what could potentially be this other lead on Yellow Eyes and there’s some suspicious something-or-other happening only 2 hours east of here, so I’ll just hang out around these parts for a few more days and see what I can find out.” What John saw as research for vengeance, the boys would have seen as potential abandonment.
The boys, comparatively, have it easy. They have smart phones; so many cities and towns have online archives of their newspapers; they have Sam’s magical wifi capabilities. They have the bunker. They had Bobby and now Garth. They had Ash.
I think this is a fascinating subject. I would love to know more, especially comparing the Campbell family and the Winchester family, traditional hunters versus Men of Letters. I want to see how their styles would be. Can we just have like history books?
