If you've never wanted to whack Dean with a spoon, you haven't been watching the same show I've been watching. And I love the boy.
We don't differ in wanting to smack him, just in how the smack's delivered.
I disagree. Sam had just beaten the shit out of him, but I don't think he was trying to kill him, otherwise I think he would have done it. He definitely had the upper hand there. He ended the fight by getting up and walking away.
Having been in Dean's physical position with what was at the time a loved one, when the hands are around your throat and squeezing, bluntly, the fact that they stopped before they killed you and got a grip on themselves doesn't stop your gut reaction from being, "You just tried to kill me."
It's a line beyond throwing words or even throwing punches. The physical reaction to the threat was, for me, completely different.
Possibly because I agree so hard with Bobby's sentiment, right down to the boohoo.
I very, very strongly don't. I agree with the fact that sometimes, you've got to buck up and be strong for someone who has hurt you. I don't agree at all with the boo hoo aspects of that quote.
I think both boys regularly deserve a good spoon-whacking.

I'm not sure I should say on a public board how I'd like to deliver the smack.
I guess I could say I'm in favor of the concept, but in that case, not a fan of the execution.
Although I was a big fan of the Castiel/Dean beatdown. So. Err. *Cough*

That was in response to Missouri, not Bobby. Do you have a problem with how she handled him?

Hmm. I can see that in some situations, but not this one. I don't think that Dean has/will ever come to terms with why Sam thought he was doing what he was doing, but I'd think he had enough respect for the fact that Sam's a stone killer to know that if Sam truly wanted him dead (especially with the darkside part of things) he'd be dead. Sam wanted him hurt, and Sam wanted his way, and Sam wanted control of the situation, but I truly think Dean was treating the situation like an abandonment, not like a murder attempt.

Ohdearlord. That was so many flavours of ... ohdearlord. Just so right.
Sam's correct. I am a bad person.
Sam: What the hell happened to him?
Castiel: Me

My bad! Hell no!

Our readings will vary on this one. I don't think he really let himself fully believe in Sam as a stone killer until that moment in the hotel room. That was the break in faith that didn't fully mend until the end of S5. It's actually kind of beautifully structured, now that I think about it.

Yes, exactly. Knew I forgot something up there.
And this from a woman who refused to evince love for a good 18 years. There's no winning with her.
OMG, I think our mothers are related!
Does she remind you a lot of Emily Gilmore?

So very very true. Castiel also.
Castiel also.
Aw, no. I don't think so. He's learning, and it's hard out there for an angel.
He's very much Dean in some ways, blindly loyal to a father who is unknowable and a bit overwhelming as your role model. He's sort of S1 Dean in terms of not getting shades of gray yet. But he's also still figuring out how humans think and feel, and I think he's done a better job than a lot of the other angels would.
