Because books.

I think the demon blood is to make him extra hot.

Very good point. Also? There was a tiny bit on his bottom lip when he started walking out of shot, and mrph.

I can only imagine, if this is anything like whatever the end of his five-year story arc originally was, they both died.

him in hell does not seem like a victorious ending any way that I look at it

He saved the world from destruction. How is that not victorious?

It's great for the world. It sucks for him.

Yeah, it does. But the hero has never been promised rainbows and puppies and chocolate fountains for his/her sacrifice.

To me, it's so awesome that Sam chose to do that, to sacrifice himself that way, to do something so selfless, I can't feel sorry for him. And I think when you make that kind of choice, you know damn well what you've giving up, and you do it anyway.

He doesn't deserve torment, of course. But I can't imagine he wouldn't make the same choice again and again because of who he is.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think that saving the world isn't losing. Sure he died to do that. A LOT of people die. For nothing. Especially in this show. Sam died to save a whole lot of the world from being destroyed in a bit of sibling smackdown. I am pretty sure this is the most heroic thing he could have possibly done in this 'verse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It was victorious, but not happy. I am surprised at the people that think it's unfair that Dean is off being happy, but I saw no evidence of that.

Cas asked if Dean would want peace or freedom. I'm not sure what the answer to that is.

There are so many ways you could parse that, too. I have to wonder if what Cas asked is what Dean heard or understood.

I don't know his answer, either, I don't think.

I wonder equally what Casiel's answer would be to his own question.

[catching up on an especially prolific thread tonight].

I'd think Dean would say peace...partially because he thinks that's what Sam has chosen for him.

But there'll be peace when they're done. They're not done yet. Sing Freebird instead.
