I ...I agree with Jess Lynde and ChrisB about Dean. I have not liked him this season at all. Sam is completely right to be pissed at him for lying. I get why Dean thought he had to kill Amy, but he blatantly lied to Sam about it. And his lie was that he was going to trust Sam, if I remember correctly. That is the bigger crime to me for the brothers. And Dean is not apologizing for that - that absolutely deserves an apology.<br /><br />Also, to place blame on Sam for hallucinating Lucifer felt false. It felt like Dean was trying to make himself ok with his actions, or make himself ok with why he wasn't apologizing to Sam.<br /><br />I have also been bothered by how Dean doesn't seem to have any compassion for Sam this season - Sam is re-experiencing hell and hallucinations, and Dean just seems mad at him for this.<br /><br />Very displeased with Dean this season. He needs to grow up, and I hope Ellen kicks his ass from the beyond.

If a parent with a terminally ill child kills people to harvest their organs for transplant or something, that is still wrong. That person would go to prison. There is no prison for monsters, so Dean didn't have much of a choice. But I definitely think he was wrong to lie to Sam.<br /><br />Stupid boys. They do it over and over again and it always ends badly. Why can't they just say what they are really thinking like grown ups? It's especially bad because in their line of work they need to trust each other completely. I repeat, stupid boys. But hot.

I have been Team Dean since season one, episode one but I find myself really disliking him this season. I know that he has issues and that he's afraid for his brother. But, Sam appears to have emerged from everything in much better shape and Dean is just becoming a drunk -- and a belligerent one at that.<br /><br />Ellen is right. He needs to emerge from this fog he is in or someone needs to kick his ass -- and soon.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-66103344354375788322012-03-24T02:17:35.731-04:002012-03-24T02:17:35.731-04:00That car Dean stole wa ment to resemble the colour...That car Dean stole wa ment to resemble the colour scheme of Patrick Jane's car (The Mentalist)<br /><br />http://blog.elmejorcoche.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/classic-car.jpgPatrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-26546159266556852852011-11-13T21:47:39.826-05:002011-11-13T21:47:39.826-05:00Hehe great review Billie :) And it was an absolute...Hehe great review Billie :) And it was an absolutely 4 by 4 episode for me until the end when Dean seemed to have successfully convinced Sam he was just unneccessarily whining about Amy's death. I am totally with you on that one, Jess. I was never that into Dean, but this season he really is being a Dick. I'd like to think that Sam realised how fragile his brother is and forgave him in order to keep him together, but I think he just plain old forgave him.<br /><br />Billie, I definitely heard the shop guy say Thessala - which Dean then mangled :) SO nice to see little Angel/Buffy inside jokes! Joss' legacy continues.<br /><br />Also, I've decided that this episode means that the Winchester brothers arent actually brothers, they're actually living an alternative lifestyle together.

Sam definitely had a right to be angry, and for Dean to act like Sam was just being a big baby, and should get over it already, was selfish and insulting. I found myself very much siding with Sam, and was rather put off when the show appeared to side with Dean in the end. Really?<br /><br />To be perfectly honest, I'm starting to dislike Dean, which is almost unthinkable given the degree of my past affection for him. But he's been coming across like a self-righteous drunk and a bully for awhile now, and based on the resolution to this episode, we're just supposed to be okay with that. Has he always been this way, and I've just been blinding myself to it, or have the writers steered him more in this direction as the brothers' situation has gotten worse and worse?<br /><br />It makes me wonder if Sam has really forgiven him, or if he just realizes that Dean is on the edge of becoming someone like the guy Sam just had to kill. Maybe Sam thinks that the only thing keeping Dean relatively sane is his continued presence in Dean's life. Probably wishful thinking on my part. I'm reaching for shades of grey that aren't there.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-22820542727860428192011-11-07T09:28:17.445-05:002011-11-07T09:28:17.445-05:00I liked it but it felt like a filler, once again a...I liked it but it felt like a filler, once again and I think they<br />re should be focusing more on the arc.

After the initial viewing I liked the MOTW stuff alright but was dissatisfied with the resolution of the Amy thing. Don't get me wrong I'm glad it was resolved. I just think Sam had a legitimate right to be angry about Dean's lies and I would have like to have seen more emphasis in that. But I hate trying to write the show from my armchair so when I watch the story again I will watch without expectations and take it for what it is.<br /><br />I kind of wonder sometimes if this show isn't written more with DVD viewing in mind than for the weekly viewings. Even when I don't love an episode on first run I almost always like what I see a little bit more when I watch the season as a whole on DVD. <br /><br />RoseComposeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-3533816838001507702011-11-06T19:11:25.637-05:002011-11-06T19:11:25.637-05:00Dean didn't try to bed Melanie, or even kiss h...Dean didn't try to bed Melanie, or even kiss her, which is a far cry from the virile Dean of the first couple of seasons.
