I missed the episode! Arrrgh! Does the CW stream it online? Or Hulu? I can't find it anywhere except Amazon and iTunes. *whine*
Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
The CW was showing them last year, and before that, I believe. If it's not up yet, it should be soon.
Also, boo! I'm sorry you missed it.
I completely spaced that it was the premier week! D'oh!
Just a thought on rewatch. Clearly the BobbyDemon was trying to separate Sam and Dean, but do people also think it was saying what (it thought) Dean wanted to hear and say? When YED was possessing John, he was very forgiving towards Dean, which Dean really wanted, even if he couldn't quite believe it. Here, it seems like Dean wanted to say something like the BobbyDemon's speech, but he couldn't quite do it, at least not yet.
I'm sure Dean's beyond pissed at Sam, and would have liked to tell him why. At great length. But I still don't see Dean ever going to the extreme of "once this is over lose my number," especially since Sam is now back in the fold (even though there's obviously a long, long way to go for them to trust one another again). And being Dean he's always loaded down with guilt enough for three people, so I'm sure somewhere inside him he also feels at least a partial responsibility for starting Armageddon. But the demon may have intuited that Dean was feeling those things and just overplayed its hand and gone too far.
Yes, it did overplay its hand, just as YED did, but this time not enough to make Dean suspicious, I think in part because he wanted to say it too.
Yeah, when demon!Bobby was doing the smackdown on Sam... well, any other time Dean would have been getting between them. This time he just sat there. So you may be right - Dean might have been satisfied hearing someone else saying what he was thinking.

I'm not sure it's quite because he wanted to say it, but it's at least partly that he was so dead set on avoiding having that conversation at all. And while I don't think he was outright blaming Sam, he sure wasn't in any kind of frame to be defending him.
whoops! Sorry bout that. I thought it was common knowledge.
Kripke as quoted in EW: "This is the most optimistic season we've ever done. It's about building them back up [as brothers]."
