After thinking about it for a while, however, I'm wondering if what we were hearing (as I think someone mentioned upthread) is Sam's bitter disappointment that the brother he got back isn't exactly the brother he used to have.
I think the conversation with the doctor about people changing until you want to bash their head in might have been intended as lead-up to this, but I don't think it was a weighty enough discussion to really pull it off.
Haven't seen any of post-hiatus Season 4 eps, but here I am merrily spoiling myself. Just wanted to say that I've been rewatching Season 1 lately, and it's striking how many of the boys' issues have been right there from the word go. And also a bit heartbreaking watching them both interacting at a time when they were both...well, scarcely innocent, but less damaged and less jaded.

Sam wants to find an end this struggle, presumably with both his and his brother's souls intact. Dean is of the mindset it will never end, and I think that's where Sam's frustration is rooted.
At this point, I'm sad about what's going on with the boys. For me, the Winchesters are a very compelling trinity: Dean, Sam and their amazing bond. The bond is unraveling, and it's getting difficult to watch.
It was a well-done episode, leaving me anxious about where this will lead. I'm hopeful it's not quite so preordained as it may seem.
Man. I don't... There's just something about him, isn't there?
P.S. I know it's called spoilertv for a reason, but there is one little spoiler at the end.
Oops, thought that was so well known that I forgot it was a spoiler.
It's also entirely possible that I'm the very last person to know!
I didn't know either, but
ROCK! That makes me happy

I would love to hang out with that dude. Looks aside, he just seems smart, funny, and interesting.
Don't forget, the Manny Skerrit ep of Nip/Tuck is on tomorrow night, guesting our favorite angel as a, um, flexible yoga instructor.
Oh, thanks for the heads-up! I've seen the clip but have no idea when that show airs.
