So much of this show is built around what might have been, if only the principal characters had leveled with each other and talked things through - but how true is it that the same opportunities are so often missed in real life? We can see it so clearly and comment on it here, but how many times do we overlook the things we could have changed with a right word or piece of honesty in our own lives? Whenever I get frustrated with the Supernatural characters for such missed opportunities, I make myself remember my own mistakes, and suddenly become much more forgiving both of the show characters and of others in my own life.
Funny: I think that blogging on this show has made me a better person overall, if only because it's forced me to acknowledge my own shortcomings when dealing with others, and to grant real people the same patience I extend to these characters, whom I love. How's that for a very cool, unforeseen consequence? *grin*
And I do hope someday that Dean may yet be able to reconnect with Lisa and Ben and realize that dream of family. If anyone deserves it, he does. :)
