I really don't like seeing either of them broken. Dean could stand to loosen up his them vs. us POV some, and could actually indicate he's listening to Sam when he thinks he's right, because he *does* listen, and he *does* follow Sam's course of action on occasion. But that have-to-be-brave-big-bro dynamic sort of overrides everything.
And at this stage, Sam is *willing* to be led, and to be protected. He grew readier to take the lead, but a lifetime of looking up to Dean, and depending on him made it easier to continue longer than if he hadn't had an elder sibling.
Dean's right again.
But so is Sam -- angels DO exist, and there are things that the boys can't necessarily see but are still out there. (And I loved Sam's joy on behalf of Dean in the episode where he found out that Dean had been contacted by an angel.)
This whole thing is really leaving them unprepared for when angels actually DO appear, isn't it?
Is it wrong that I'm glad to see the Impala with its old licence plates?
Interesting take on what God's word is vs. how his servants choose to interpret that word.
Just leave the crying victim stranded in a dark alley.
Dean couldn't very well stay until the police arrived, given when this takes place in canon.
So can anyone who's died foretell the actions of living people? Since Fr. Gregory is apparently just a regular guy, and not imbued with anything special.

True, but doing what he's doing right now isn't really low-profile either.
The command to "rest" has a lot more weight given what happens with Dean later in S2.
