I just want to make out with him. And then hold him and make it all better.
This was my favorite episode, because I found it the hardest to watch. I agree with everything you said Bev. Thank God Bobby finally said something to him in the finale.
That's what kills me about this ep, too, Bev. That he sees himself as worthless, really. It doesn't surprise him he works in a garage. He thinks dating a nurse is "respectable," and seems surprised. All his hapiness and expectations are for Sam, really.
All his hapiness and expectations are for Sam, really.
Which makes Wishverse Sam's rejection of him that much more painful.
I need to think about that a bit more - is there anything beyond self-loathing to Dean's wish causing Sam to distance himself/Dean to push Sam away?
All his hapiness and expectations are for Sam, really.
Exactly.
There's a marvelous fic about "Sam saw Dean plunge the knife into himself. He tried to staunch the blood, but his brother bled out before the paramedics could find them," to paraphrase. It goes on to tell how Sam had been affected by how uncharacteristically determined Dean had been on that last evening, how sure of himself, which had made Sam hesitate just long enough not to be able to stop him. He starts to investigate some of the things Dean had mentioned, talked to the prof at school, etc., and learns about hunters and the things they hunt, and becomes a hunter in the alt-verse. Neat story, and no, I don't have a link.
There's Carmen/Dean, too, again, I haven't a link handy.
is there anything beyond self-loathing
Well, Sam and Dean have very different personalities. Really, I think what's tied them together all these years is because they grew up with just each other. So maybe Dean subconsciously thinks that, without hunting, they wouldn't have much in common.
I know its supposed to be a funny line but when Sam says, "I can't believe we're even related"...the hurt in Dean's eyes..and resignation.
But I love that Dean knows that "they are still brothers" and Not!Sam gets in the car.
And he expects Sam to believe that, and not to believe the truth.
I know its supposed to be a funny line
There's a lot that could read as funny in this ep, but pretty much none of it is really that funny after the lawnmower thing.
(Though "what're you calling me a bitch for?" is pretty good...)
