"which should’ve only taken 4 minutes of show time"
Dean's talk about his time in Hell has only taken up about 5 minutes of show time, all together. He didn't say a thing about it until 4.08 where it took up about a minute. Then in 4:10 where it took maybe a 2 to 2 1/2 minutes and then here, where it took maybe 2 to 2 1/2 minutes again. In 4.06 he himself didn't know what was going as I don't think he remember much until after Yellow Fever.
Dean hasn't spent alot of time whining about it and when he has it hasn't really been poor me so much as look at the awful things I did to others, he sees himself as a victimizer, not a victim.
I don't think they have spent much time on Dean's time in Hell in terms of it taking up screen time and I don't have a problem with it being spread out over various episodes.
However I do agree they could have used those 5 minutes of screentime better. It was stupid having two virtually identical scenes at the end of 4.10 and 4.11. Content could be the same, the setting and timing within the episode should have been different. Just really badly framed.

Thanks for adding up those minutes. I was speaking in Show Time, meaning fictional time (which stretched into at least a month, longer if you consider the focus on Dean's time in Hell started at at the end of "Wishful Thinking"), not actual viewing time, but it's good to know these facts. :)

No Dean definitely doesn't whine. In fact, he does the exact opposite! That man has one stiff upper lip.

There have been a lot of MotW episodes, so case files have technically take up most of the screen time. But the emphasis those MotW episodes is what I'm speaking of, their relevance to the characters. They've centered more on clarifying Dean's head space than anyone else's so far this season. If you're interested in more on this I posted a response (with a incredibly dorky table) about this same thing in blackjedii's recent meta here: http://blackjedii.livejournal.com/562305.html#cutid1

Yes. I would've been nice to see an effort to inject some more variety instead of falling back on what seems to be the easiest set up.
