I recorded it, played it, and forgot to pay any attention to it. Oops.
Dean Winchester wins E Online's Alpha Male Madness. Beating Sam in the final bracket (is this how the season will end?) Sam had to beat Jack Bauer just to get that far. Dean beat Sayid.
Huh. I'm not sure I would call Dean an Alpha.
But if he had to kill all those guys to get to his brother he totally would. As would Sam. And then, maybe, he'd save the world.
But what if it came down to Sam vs the World.
Maybe he's the only one that gets to kill Sam, there on the last day. If Sam kills himself, he'll just have him brought back at a high price. Maybe the change he undergoes is to realise he has to do it, and the change Sam undergoes is to encourage him.
I'm suddenly very depressed by the idea of only one of them surviving, so I'm going through scenarios in my head...
Well, Sam did make Dean promise to kill him, back in Season two. Maybe he'll finally have to keep the the promise.
Maybe Dean tries to kill Possessed Sam and Possessed Sam kills him and that snaps him out of the possession so he's doomed to walk the earth alone with that knowledge.

I was going to say no because it was supposed to be, in theory, Sam on the Hero's journey so Dean goes down in the end. But..

I think in Sam v. World, Dean might save the world at this point but he'd go down too. He'd save the world, but he can't live in a world without Sam so he'll die too.
If another Winchester (okay, Sam) goes down in this, I think Dean is going down with them. Sam can survive without Dean. I don't think it goes the other way.
Sam can survive without Dean
"I don't want ten years. I don't want one year. I don't want candy."
You sure about that? Honestly, I don't think he could, again. I'm with ita. Die together or live together, but either of them left alone would just be a countdown to suicide.
You know, in keeping with their emotional reversals and changes, I think it would at this point be worse for Sam to have Dean die, than for Dean to have Sam die.
I'll explain later when I'm not in the middle of rearranging my manicure station. (Which Bev and Cass have both seen, and know is a HUGE freaking task.)
