He also had a path to direct his aggressions in place. And no one in constant contact to build up irritation.

Because books.
Well, except Samuel and the cousins, but that was probably new enough it didn't matter.

Oh, I forgot about them. I was just remembering loner, drifter, ceiling-pipe-pullups soulless Sam.

And I thank you for that reminder.

I don't buy the addiction thing either; more a spell. But seemingly one he can wrest himself from, for now at least. I'm kind of fascinated by where this is going. And, yes, Sam was nine kinds of awesome in this episode. :)

I read a theory the other day (today?) from Nightsky, who writes something called Threads after each other episode. She's positing that Dean is essentially becoming soulless himself, that the blade is eating away at his humanity, etc.
It seems very "been there, done that" to me, if that's the case.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't really see anything to support the soulless theory--he has too many emotions and isn't displaying lack of ethics or a moral compass.
Becoming ruthless (and they still had to have the "Oh, we kill Crowley too" conversation, so he's not KILL ALL THE THINGS) doesn't feel like enough--it's their job to prove he's different from Sam in season 4 + Dean in late season 5, but Sam in season 6 I just don't get.
They've made it difficult by further muddying the waters of what having a soul means, but he's not all id (did I get that right? I usually get that wrong) and is very thoughtful.
I did like a lot, muddy as it was, the difference between Soulless Sam and soulless everyone else (thanks to John and Dean, I suppose).
If I had to pick, he's more like Famine!Dean with one motive. I still don't know if the kill in #Thinman was supposed to be mark-related or getting-business-done-related. Haven't made my mind up on it yet.
As much as some Sam stans complain that everything is through a Dean prism, we're a lot in the dark about his internals right now.

I don't necessarily buy the soulless theory -- in fact, I hope they don't go that way. I don't think giving Dean a rerun of one of Sam's issues is really worthy plot or character development.
