Sam knew he'd have a hard time offing his own kid, and saved the day at the last moment (and also proved she did indeed need to killed).
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

I'm not convinced that Dean would have been unable to resolve that situation successfully on his own though. He seemed quite onboard with the necessity of putting his freakish daughter down afterwards, unlike Sam's weeks of petulant sniping over lovely, innocent brain-eating Amy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dean: I can’t do this alone.
Sam: Yes, you can.
Dean: Yeah, well... I don’t want to.

Ok, a conversation two cubes down included the word supernatural. I totally wanted to barge in on the conversation to see if they were talking SPN or not. I don't have any SPN stuff in my cube - just baseball related things.
Work has kept me from watching Supernatural Shake. Will have to remedy that when I get home.

Sara wants to watch it ... well, almost as often as I do. ::hangs head::

If Sam hadn't shown up, he would have shot her, yeah, but he at least realized how hard it was to do with someone he had a connection to. And Sam had a much deeper friendship with Amy than the ten minutes Dean knew his daughter.

Sam's "petukance" is cast in a different light by Dean's resistance to the idea of Sam being the one that cleans up after Benny if he goes off the wagon.

I think it's good that they gave someone with such strong family bonds no automatic or overriding blood debt--I'm sure he didn't enjoy being betrayed by Sampa or fathering a dangerous daughter, but he saves Sam because of who Sam is to him, not because they share parents.
My sister got to A Very Supernatural Christmas, with concomitant tears.
I'm so proud...

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber
In terms of major disagreements between Sam & Dean: other than Lenore, have there been any cases where Sam was proven right and Dean proven wrong?
Warning Dean not to trust Gordon so quickly after meeting him
"Long-Distance Call" -- didn't Dean keep insisting that John was calling from beyond the grave even though Sam correctly told him it wasn't John calling them?
Every time he told Dean that ghost!Bobby was losing control and becoming erratic and they couldn't just ignore his actions any longer

SPN made it onto the MTV 10 thing again. Gives details about Cas' absence and has new footage: [link]
Show makes it onto MTV twice a year, and made two TV Guide covers in a year--the reason why no one I talk to has heard of it because it's somehow skewing younger than people who've been watching since S1? Tumblr seems to back that up. Hmm.
I think it's a bit remarkable that the season low ratings was less than 3x Misha's theoretical twitter audience. Jared's about 100K below Misha
