They started six months, or ended six months ago? I thought it was the latter.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I thought the former.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
How is "I hit a dog" the way you explain this to Dean? Unless the dog has you under a spell, you must have a better angle than that
I think the dog was Sam's last straw. I mean, we saw Sam's happiest memory up in heaven. He ran away, and there was a dog. A dog to represent good and calm and normal and companionship and loyalty and unconditional love. And he squished it and hurt it and nearly killed it, and was going to walk away, and he just... couldn't.
Sam doesn't handle alone well. Last time, he handled it with booze and violence and Ruby. It wasn't healthy, and his coping mechanisms nearly destroyed the world. So he swings the other way 'round. Avoidance and dog and life goes on, because if he's not trying, he's not failing and breaking things.

Exactly. And we've seen him walk away before. Hello, Keith Sam.

I don't think so. Who's GWAR?

GWAR are... GWAR. Jilli should explain them.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
because if he's not trying, he's not failing and breaking thing
Even with this, I think the sticking points for me are both Dean and Kevin, and how quickly Sam seems to have given up. (my reading of Kevin's calls was that they ended 6 months ago, and spanned a few months before that at least.) I wouldn't have had any problem with Sam just retiring from hunting, but to me as things stand now, it feels like they set it up as Sam saying "I was alone and it was hard, so I just immediately stopped trying, even though my brother and a prophet of the lord were at stake."
In addition to the fact that in my world, Winchesters don't stop trying on such a massive scale, this is in comparison to Dean being in purgatory and having to fight monsters every day. I don't want Dean to be fucked up AND have to (feel like he needs to) act as Sam's conscious/motivation. It makes the brother dynamic feel too unbalanced to me, at least right now.

I don't see where it was ever really balanced, though, not long term. And you don't see Dean's plan to say yes to Michael as epic giving up? It was sacrificial, yeah, but it would have been essentially suicide.
