My favorite moment was a very small one- It’s towards the end of the Christmas episode where Winchester donates candy to the orphans, and finds out that they had sold it on the black market. He confronts him and learns that it bought enough cabbage to keep them fed for a month, and his gift had been more about himself than the people he was allegedly helping.
Klinger hears the whole thing and brings him supper while he’s sulking in the tent, and subtly lets him know that he knows what happened.
And all he says is “Thank you, Max”, but it’s delivered with SUCH amazing emotion and gravitas. I don’t think I’ve ever heard quite so much depth packed into three words as David Ogden Stiers managed to deliver in that moment. I honestly think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen committed to film.
