We don't differ in wanting to smack him, just in how the smack's delivered.
That was in response to Missouri, not Bobby. Do you have a problem with how she handled him?
doesn't stop your gut reaction from being, "You just tried to kill me."
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.
I was a big fan of the Castiel/Dean beatdown. So. Err. *Cough*
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?
I think both boys regularly deserve a good spoon-whacking.
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.
Aw, no. I don't think so.
But he would feel left out and I wouldn't want that.
Knew I forgot something up there.
Dean needed so much in that episode. He needed the shit beaten out of him, he needed love and trust, and he needed a guilt trip. And oh, man, did he get it all. It was a thing of beauty. Couldn't have made me happier, without, you know, going there.
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.
I think what he has is that he gets Winchesters. Some other angels might get
people,
but nobody but Castiel got Dean, and by extension Sam. And they were the key to everything. And the key to the undoing of all the plans of Heaven and Hell is how much love Dean can inspire, in both Sam and Castiel. Those were the wild cards.
The other quote, is helpless!Sam, which isn’t my Sam.
Devoted!Sam! Don't make me get out the pleated skirt.
Does she remind you a lot of Emily Gilmore?
For a while there, totally. Nowadays, she's...she's done a 180°, and she wants me there with her, and I can do nothing but laugh. She's a crazy woman. Love her, but she crazy.
