I know a pair of ...Great thoughts from both of you! I know a pair of siblingsnavfew years apart andvthe young brother's road had been much easier. Maybe Sam feels lessor apparently no guilt because he's had Dean there making the tough calls, killing the unfortunate clubbing vampire chick, the mother in Croatoan, torturing Bobby to get rid of the worm, killing Amy. Dean is willing to do this, he sees it as his responsibility and I think a large part of that is protecting Sam. His conflict between being a trained killer and being the caregiver for just about anyone who crosses his path is starting grind Dean down. How can those two things, one of which had been a very recent and profound part of his life, coexist. I agree Kara, there was no learning for and no depth to this so called exploration of his guilt. Dean deserves better. He deserves to feel good about himself. He deserves to have his brother tell him it's not all his fault. He deserves a special cuddle.... Great points ladies!sweetondeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521111526235603389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410603696827006678.post-8868160491574750002011-10-17T20:40:43.034+11:002011-10-17T20:40:43.034+11:00Hey Kara, exactly!

I know this is probably a matter of opinion, but you gotta know drinking demon blood is wrong, trusting a demon instead of your brother is not right, Dean died for him! Dean has to put up with a lot of crap, but he still loves Sammy. And Sam is always the one who is like "So, Dean, say something, anything.." or "So, are we cool Dean?" or "I was 14.. that was my first thanks giving.. oh.. but I love that random dog"..<br />But it's never going to be cool and easy. And yet, it's always a bit too easy for Sam. But for Dean, it always comes down to this, it isn't so much about guilt -- for Sammy or Dad, the things he's willing to do or kill...it scares him. <br /><br />I think Sam has the little brother syndrome and Dean has the big brother syndrome. <br /><br />-tiny-Tinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081032555194424784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410603696827006678.post-86595230697812492012011-10-17T08:49:26.017+11:002011-10-17T08:49:26.017+11:00Its funny how this episode became such a character...Its funny how this episode became such a character discussion on Dean, but I don't think this episode really developed the character of Dean.<br />Anyone who has watched Supernatural for at least more than one season knows that Dean ALWAYS feels guilt. (battered children often do... but Johns parenting skills, or lack there of, isn't the point.) This episode kind of felt as if we were going over the same thing, its like Dean keeps getting banged over the head saying 'Stop feeling guilty' but that's just like asking him to stop feeling hungry, its part of his nature. <br />The most interesting part of this episode was the fact Sam doesnt feel any guilt. Excuse me? So you were Lucifer's bitch in the pit so what? You know you (I am talking to Sam here) killed innocent people while you were soulless and so on. I think him feeling guiltless is kind of disturbing but it just goes to my belief that Sam see's himself as the victim. <br />MARY made the deal. <br />YED gave him the yummy demons blood. <br />DEAN took him away from Jess. <br />RUBY tricked him. <br />CAS raised him from the pit without his soul. None of the buck really rests on him. And I know a lot of season 5 was about Sam's guilt, but I just think its too easy to say Sam has no guilt. A little guilt is healthy, it means you wont repeat the same mistakes again.<br />Dean, poor Dean. We have known Dean has had to be the glue that kept his family together (Dark Side of the Moon when he hugs Mary and tells her that he loves her and John loves her and everything is going to be ok) It seems to me Dean feels as if he has to protect everyone which is why when cant save someone AKA Jo and Ellen it hits him harder than it should. <br /><br />So this episode to me just went over the same thing, Dean needs to learn, and I am sorry Sam Fan girls, Sam needs to take responsibility, a little guilt never killed anyone... unless you ran into Osiris.<br />Also about Amy, I really think Dean needs to tell Sam and tell him quick. At this stage of the game they really shouldn't be keeping things from each other. (And then hopefully Sam will realise killing Amy was the right thing to do- just because he was too gutless to do it himself doesn't change anything.)<br /><br />Anyway I swear I love Sam but the last scene of this episode just angered me. And Tiny AWESOME review like always :DKarahttp://www.twitter.com/karalambonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410603696827006678.post-4240733090530233832011-10-17T07:14:43.130+11:002011-10-17T07:14:43.130+11:00yes Tiny! you are so right! I think we all need ...yes Tiny! you are so right! I think we all need to let Dean know how wonderful he is! I did love the Jo moments, and Jensen's acting was so amazing he was heartbreaking. But I need for Dean to find a place where he can be comfortable with who he is. Dean is in a dark place right now. he needs a real win! I know you aren't a fan of the egyptian god thing, but I have to say I was happy for a non judeo christian entity in the supernaturalverse that is truly immortal! usually the gods are so easy to kill! this was a nice change. thanks as always for sharing your thoughts Tiny!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410603696827006678.post-34653938567685880812011-10-17T07:05:54.800+11:002011-10-17T07:05:54.800+11:00U forgot how AWESOME MY SAMMY IS ((((rofl)))..

This is perfect. Dean is perfect ...I love you Tiny. This is perfect. Dean is perfect and they, including the Supernatural creatives have to all stop trying to drag him down. My bug bear with this and last week's ep was the writing and a big part of that was the translation of Dean. No one but the senior creatives on the team should be allowed to write deep character exposition. There should be a rule against it, because they screw it up, and when it comes to Dean, that's not the kind of screwing we're looking for ;D Seriously, the guy really needed to get it on with that bar tender, it would have done wonders for his self esteem! <br />Really lovely write up Tiny. GO TEAM DEAN! -Amy (not the dead monster one)sweetondeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521111526235603389noreply@blogger.com
