8.06 "Southern Comfort" Review/Rant
Not a lot of people will read this, but that's okay because I will feel better for just typing this and getting it out there. It's kinda longish, but less ranty than I thought it would be.

I hadn't looked at Sam and Amelia that way before, but now I can totally see it. Sam feels better helping her since he can't help himself. And it's true that she's not like most of the stronger women he's fallen for in the past. Maybe that's why I don't see any chemistry? I see two people helping each other out, which is great, good for them, but maybe that's why I don't see this working? Because they need each other in order to fix themselves, not necessarily because they like each other. There's no real romance (at least that I can see yet).
I agree that part of what's affecting Dean is that Sam is painting this picture of being perfectly content and happy in his new life, almost like he's glad Dean was gone so that he could go back to living the life he wanted, the one he had before Dean "dragged him back in." Sam told Dean that he's never felt that Dean dragged him back in, but Dean doesn't see it. All he sees is his brother moved back to his old life and left Dean behind. He can't see that Sam was hurt too because Sam WON'T TALK TO HIM. Stupid! It's the apparent lack of caring that's hurting Dean, and it's frustrating to me that Sam can watch his brother look so crushed at the thought that Sam doesn't care about him.
I'm trying to be more hopeful. I can see that this is building up to one hell of talk. And if the reconciliation is done well enough, I might be willing to forgive how long it is taking us to get there. The longer the inevitable talk takes to happen, the more I'm going to expect from it, though. Because bottling something this big up for so long HAS to end in tears.
