Death Takes a Holiday

[impulsiveanswer]

Just a list of things I've been thinking about since the new episode last night that I need to get out of my head before family obligations take me away from internet access for the weekend.  You are now officially warned for spoilers:

I don't think that Dean needs to apologize for bringing the siren back to the hotel. It's not like he had control after he was under the spell and at first he didn't even know that that guy was the siren.... Dean does this is probably because he wants Sam to feel the pain that those words caused him.

Sam was under the siren's spell too, which means he didn't really have anything to apologize for either. I don't believe either of them did anything wrong; it just bothers me that Dean is allowed to get away with things while Sam gets ripped a new one when behaving in a similar manner.

They both lie to each other. Dean I think does it because he thinks he's protecting Sam. Like he always has tried to do. Sam does it maybe to protect Dean, but I think it's because he knows what he's doing with Ruby is so wrong and that if Dean knew, Dean would stop him. And for some reason sam doesn't want to be stop.

Again, they do the same wrong thing - lying to each other - but Dean's behavior gets excused because he's "protecting" Sam while Sam's behavior is immediately judged to be suspicious. The truth is that we don't know why he's lying, but we do know that he loves his brother and was destroyed when Dean died. While I'm sure what he's doing is self-destructive, I truly believe he's doing it in some misguided effort to protect Dean and/or because his powers have become an addiction, something that Ruby enables and that he doesn't have the strength to stop without the proper support. Remember, Sam did quit for awhile after Dean had a non-confrontational and supportive talk; he started again with the combined forces of Ruby pressuring him and watching Dean's latest guilt/self-pity spiral. So many people just seem to want to believe the worst of Sam.

I don't think the worst of Sam. In fact in Sam's mind he probably thinks that what he's doing is protecting Dean. But what he's doing is wrong on many levels. I just don't know if Sam realizes how wrong it is. It's going to take probably longer then we like for the boys to repair their relantionship, but I for one want to se it repaired. I think it would go better if Ruby was out of the picture. They both need to stop lying to eachother, because it's only making matters wrose.
