Supernatural - THE 100TH EPISODE

[aisalynn]

Seriously, I know in the past I was so in love with Dean. Not that I didn't like Sammy--I loved him and I certainly never hated on him--but I was always more interested in Dean's mind set than Sam's, his sacrifices rather than Sam's, his faith and belief rather than Sam's--But that all changed this season, what with him being the strong one through all this.

And tonight with his: "You're still my big brother." Awww! Yay Sammy for keeping Faith. *huggles him*

I need a Sam icon. I have one of the brothers, and one of Dean. But I don't have one of Sam. I NEED ONE.

Anyway, I loved Cas in this. How angry and bitter he was, the nasty glares and snide remarks. LOVED IT. While he was walking down stairs to check on Dean I told my sister that I hoped we were going to get to see Castiel just have at Dean, let loose that (justifiable) anger.

When the fight scene happened she was all, "Is this what you wanted?"

WHY YES, YES IT WAS.

And even though I do not, and will never ship Dean/Cas, I enjoyed the fanservice bits for them (The "blow me" and the "last time someone looked at me like that I got laid" comments), because we Wincesters had gotten ours two episodes before. (SOULMATES, BITCHES!)

AND THEN.

Erotically co-dependent.

That is what Zach said. Not neurotically, like I originally thought. But erotically. I've watched it like, five times, and it is very distinct. No 'n' there, no siree bob.

Wow. Um, canon yet?

Loved the scene in the beautiful room--Jensen's tortured woobie expression always get me--and I loved the way his eyes kept flickering to Sam through the whole thing, and that (even though this proved everything Zach said about them right) Dean immediately abandoned Adam to go get Sam, because I hated Jumping the Shark and the whole Adam fiasco and I wasn't very happy to see it revisited.

Though, now I have to wonder if Adam died again, or if Michael really can use the not-so-chosen vessel for a while, like Lucifer can use his.

ANYWAY.

That scene in the car was such a relief. There's been such tension between the two of them now that that scene felt like muscles finally relaxing, or finally releasing a breath. I mean, the whole "we'll fight this on our terms" or whatever has been said throughout this season, so I wasn't too impressed with that. But this:

"I just didn't want to let you down."

And:

"Hell, if you're grown up enough to find faith in me, then the least I can do is return the favor."

HELL, YES, DEAN. FUCKING FINALLY.

Faith has been a big issue for them since the beginning: faith in their father, faith in god, faith in themselves. It's always failing. It seems like they are finally getting that what they really need to hold on to is faith in each other.

NOW LET IT STAY THAT WAY.

I think I'll always like Dean best, but I agree with you about the way he's been this season. It would be pretty inhuman, though, if all the crap he'd been through hadn't started to take a serious toll on him. I just wish he wouldn't be such a meanie to Sam because of it :(

Which is why that end scene was so excellent, you're right. Sometimes their heart-to-hearts can get a little repetitive, but this one made me really happy because they were actually breaking new ground in their relationship. All Dean needs to do now is let Sam drive a little more.

Oh, I agree. I still love Dean. And I really think that this season is kind of the opposite of last: Sam was screwing up and acting like a dick because he was still reeling from the stress and grief of losing Dean, now Dean, who I thought, despite his crying scenes, seemed to deal with being in hell far too well, is screwing up and acting like a dick because he's still reeling from being in hell.

So it's not that I hate Dean this season, (I think everything is perfectly understandable, even though I did cheer a bit when Cas kicked his ass, because that just needed to be done) it's just that I've learned to appreciate Sam more.

I loved the end scene. :D And I don't know, maybe Dean doesn't let Sam drive that much because of the kid who body swapped Sam crashed the Impala into a dumpster--logically, he knows its not Sam, but it was still Sam's body, and he just can't let that go. *grins*

I agree completely with all this. One of the things I like best about show is that whenever the characters are being dicks, it makes sense for them emotionally. I kinda revel in calling Sam and Dean out whenever they're being assholes, not cuz I'm mad at them, but because I enjoy watching their emotional journey...or whatever. You're also right about how Dean totally wasn't screwed up enough in season 4. I'm glad the 5th season is more realistic.

Heh, or maybe it's force of habit. Anyway, I'll forgive him :P
