What Ailleann said. Dean sheltered Sam from facing the realities of their world as much as possible. We saw that with the Christmas episode. Even if Dean "knew" that good things don't happen, he wasn't going to let Sammy know that. I think that is probably one of the contributing factors to why Sam even would think college was possible or consider anything like angels or God. Dean let Sam have hope.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've always assumed that Dean remembered normal, and tried to give Sam what he could of what he remembered. Because Sam had authentic "normal", if only as much as Dean had been able to give him, Sam was better able to adapt to normal when he took the chance. Dean's sense of normal was ruined and broken, and given the chance at it, he wouldn't be able to trust it.
Just my armchair psychology.
I need to do the iTunes thing. I don't think I'm going to be able to fit the whole season on the TeFaux, and the local CWHD is still hinky. At least one scene per episode, usually two or three, pixellate or freeze.
Also, new tagline.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't think Sam was ever saddled with DUTY the way Dean was.
I wonder when John learned that Sam and the other kids like him were "special." I don't think he knew the specifics of what that meant until the show timeline (or perhaps that was the catalyst for the show).
I think Sam's "special" status must have affected the way John treated the boys.

Two new clips from tomorrow night's show. I thought that they were not particularly spoilery, i.e., they didn't give you more information than the promo did.

Okay - 3rd clip from the new episode.
Not spoilery in the sense that we know this is going to happen but it feels spoilery to see it. (If you get my drift. . . also !!!!)

I don't think it's too spoilery to say HOLY FREAKING CRAP!

Brief interview with one of tomorrow night's guest stars.
I cannot recall if this is one we saw in the promo: just in case - do not mouse-over the link.
Guest star says s/he did not watch show prior to being cast- guest star's spouse did and now s/he watches to and is a fan.

I'm fairly certain s/he was in the promo, because I remember squeeing.
eta: The actor/ress was shown, but I don't know that the character was.

Does anyone have alternate sites for those clips, becauseI can't get them to load?
