Supernatural 5.10 Meta & Picspam Part 1
Usual caveat lector: I am pro-pretty-much-everybody. Yes, even him. I especially love Dean. And Sam. And Castiel. And Bobby. And John. And Ellen. And Jo. And Ruby. And Bela. And Andy, Ash, Ava, Gordon, Victor, Rufus, Missouri, Jimmy, Amelia, Claire, Anna, Zachariah, Uriel, Meg, Azazel, Sarah, Lucas, Ben, Lisa, Kubrick, Travis, Jim, Caleb, Josh,

Yes, it hurt, but given that Sam has said that there's nothing Dean can do or say that is as bad as he (Sam) is punishing himself, and that he told Dean, "You can think whatever you want; I deserve it," I think Dean's little snark really is meant more as brotherly banter from older brother teasing younger brother about screw-up. Dean is over it to the point where he can joke about it. That's huge. Obviously, it stung, but Sam snarked back, and the clink of bottles, I think, was the "no hard feelings" of the exchange. Dean trusts Sam again, and that's what's important.
I know several people are really ticked that the writers have glossed over the boys' reconciliation, but I'm not that put out. Are there still feelings that might surface later? Sure. Things that need to be worked out? There always have been. But this is the Apocalypse. They have to work together if they're going to accomplish anything. I personally am glad Show is not harping over and over and over again on the betrayal and grudge-holding. And Dean especially is one who demonstrates his loyalties through action. So while, yeah, it would be nice to see more rift-mending demonstrated--and if they decide to show more, then yay!--I'm okay with what they've given us thus far. Ya know?
I'm in total agreement with you on the relationship and family dynamic in this ep. Everyone was just so strong in this ep, and strongly played. Cas, being accepted into the group. Jo having grown up into a confident woman. Sam and Jo having obviously worked through what happened in BUaBS (and earlier this season). Cas prepared to defend Sam to the death. Sam, worried about Dean's health and safety, and vice versa. Even the glowing admiration Meg has for a father she's never met before . . . It all just works so so perfectly, and I love this ep for it.
I've even made peace with Ellen and Jo's fate, because they died defending their friends, their surrogate family, which is not for nothing.
Also? Badger!
Also also? Picspam! \o/
