There's a really good review for the finale under the cut with a few words from me. Spoilers, spoilers.

Cas has always been that sympathetic character, learning humanity from his interactions with Sam and Dean. Yet the one time Cas needed help, someone to guide him toward the right path, he was given no support.

It was 'your plan is wrong, therefore you're wrong.' Not once did Dean ever say "let's sit down and talk about this. Let's find another way." I mean, yes, opening purgatory was a bad, bad plan, but he was trying to save Earth from destruction.

I have to agree with this. Dean has become a douchebag this season. It's like Dean has free will, Dean knows all, Dean knows what's right for everybody, Dean's never wrong. What gave him the right to wipe Lisa and Ben's memories? I found that both sexist and patronizing. It makes me wish that Cass had wiped them out in the end, because really Dean became a jerk to him.

Dean has become a creature with zero humility, no one knows but him what is right. He reminds me of people who go to rehab for alcoholism, their livers are shot but they still want to do it their way, because they have "free will." Yeah, right.

The wiping of the memories was a tough choice. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I think Dean did it to keep Ben and Lisa from experiencing pain to allow them to go on with heir lives. But that wasn't his choice to be made.

I really did feel bad for him, they were one of the few things that gave him a sliver of a normal life and I understand the reason, but I'm not sure if was the proper one to make. I don't know if wiping their memories keeps them safer at all, but maybe a chance of at happiness?? Again, I'm not sure.

I'm pretty okay with wiping their memories. After all, Ben hardly needed to remember how his mother almost died, or how he himself killed several demons. If he'd remembered, he would just become another Dean, or a kid with a lot of baggage. This way he has a chance to live a normal life. And Lisa doesn't have to remember that she was possessed and almost killed her own son.

True. As I said, I'm not sure. Dean had all of their memories of him wiped, than again I saw mirrors of what Ben might become when he was holding that shotgun.

Why do I love love such angsty show?

We're all masochists, lol. No other explanation. Or maybe it's because all the pretty boys?

I liked the wiping memory thing, though I was a little curious about what happened to Lisa's boyfriend that was killed in the beginning. No one's gonna be looking for him? Or did Lisa and Ben miraculously move to a different place? Though, maybe Castiel solved it all:-)

I think that the mind-wipe wasn't meant to be okay. As Sam told him in the car, it was a low blow, the wrong thing to do.

I get it that it wasn't Dean's place to decide. He should've waited for Lisa to wake up and ask her what she wanted to do... for Ben. And that's exactly the problem, the boys never ask, they just do what they think is right.

*Shrug*

The mmemory wipe also doesn't solve all of the problems, because until Dean himself remembers Ben and Lisa, they are still in danger.

On different note: I love your icon!

Dean was stupid for wiping their minds. They aren't in danger because of what they know, they were in danger because of DEAN.

Dean is just plain stupid; so much for "team free will."
