You know, everyone's saying that Jensen accidentally said "Jared" in last night's ep... um, I have no idea where they're getting that from, because I listened to it on high volume several times and it's clearly "Sam". Like, really clearly, to the point where I'm confused as to why there's any doubt.

Just thought I'd put my two cents out there.

ETA: After some good natured discussion, I think it's been pretty well established that there are two different versions of the ep floating around. My friend Sas says it's clearly "Jared" in hers, and that it's at 26:43, while it's definitely "Sam" in mine, but at 26:40. Huh! Somebody had a panic attack to fix that, haha.

Ooh when was that supposed to have happened?

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

26:40 in the avi. When they're in the lady's house comparing the painting to the photocopy, and when Dean says "Sam, look at this" to tell him about the razor being open.

[ellieptical.livejournal.com]

goes to listen.

[ellieptical.livejournal.com]

It's definitely Sam. I too am confused at why there would be any other interpretation of it.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Glad to know you agree! I think this is one of those things where one person says it, and everyone else latches on. Oh fandom.

[ellieptical.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's got to be. Hehe.

[dorkdance.livejournal.com]

He clearly says 'Jared' on my downloaded copy.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Am I listening to the right spot? When Dean's holding the piece of paper and calls Sam's attention to it, about the razor?

[dorkdance.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the spot. I wouldn't be surprised -- actors screw up. There's that Angel episode, for example, where David Boreanaz is supposed to be comforting Buffy, but he says 'Sarah' instead.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't be surprised either, especially on this show where so much attention is paid to the details (*rolls eyes*), but I clearly hear Sam. With the S and the A and the M and everything, like, it's not even vaguely unclear to me. *shrugs*

[dorkdance.livejournal.com]

The first letter really sounds J-ish to me, though. Hence my new theory that he caught himself halfway through saying Jared and changed it to Jam. And they thought it sounded enough like 'Sham', which is how he usually pronounces it, that they kept it.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Good theory! As is the dubbing one proposed by another commenter below

[ellieptical.livejournal.com]

I don't think he does, there's an 's' sound at the start, and an 'm' at the end. I think it's cos his voice does it's deep breaky thing in the middle of it, making it seem 2 syllable like.

[dorkdance.livejournal.com]

I've got it open in BS Player right now -- the first consonant definitely sounds like a J to me.

[ellieptical.livejournal.com]

I'm playing it too, at the spot Anne mentioned yeah?

If you listen really really really closely you can hear the whistle from where he purses his lips to Sam. Unless I am listening to the wrong bit.

[dorkdance.livejournal.com]

Maybe he's saying 'Jam'. Like, he caught himself halfway through saying 'Jared' and changed it.

[ellieptical.livejournal.com]

That'd be cool! Maybe it's code for something he wants to do to Jared ;)

[onefishjyuufish.livejournal.com]

It's possible they aired it on the east coast with "Jared", not realizing he'd done it, then realquick jumped in before it aired on the west coast and dubbed it over with Sam?

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Huh, that's a good theory, I wonder if there are two different avis wandering around out there.

[existentialism.livejournal.com]

Well there is but I doubt there's two different versions of the episode.

[existentialism.livejournal.com]

Nope there's a definate "s" sound, and he's saying Sam! I compared on the HR and 350MB versions

[the5thmarauder.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhh.... I get that. It's definately Sam, but his voice is uber low so it's like Saram check it out :P

Oh, the excitement. I just d/led the avi and have to cover the screen with my hand until I got to 26.40 so I wouldn't be spoiled :D

[marishna.livejournal.com]

I totally heard Jared because I made a point to go back and listen after I capped it this morning. I listed a few times and definitely heard Jared. I think the way Jensen talks it sounds mushed.

[darkhecatemoon.livejournal.com]

::has to check it out:: It's definitely Sam in whatever I downloaded, and it's at 26:43. Hmmm...freaky.

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

slinging the link here for the min .wav, 800K, YSI.

What he said in my version, I hear Sam, but you already know that.

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

SUCH a typo, I hear Jared, but was thinking about Sam and the comment above so made my mind wander.

I use the excuse I've been up 22hours. Hush.

[snuffkin.livejournal.com]

Mine says Jared Mihihi. Somehow this makes me all happy *rofl*
