As I was drifting off to sleep last night, I realized something about my dissatisfaction with s6 of SPN so far. It's a matter of genre and expectations. ( tl;dr with vague spoilers for what's aired )
I definitely questioned *exactly* this because the feel of noir is completely opposed to the feel of SPN. You just can't have the relationship that Sam and Dean have in the center of a noir. It's pure and straightforward at its heart.

EXACTLY. It doesn't fit at all. (Well, maybe if they added some actual, textual incest... *cough*)
I mean, if Sam had stayed dead, he could have been the Archer to Dean's Spade, but meh. Right now he feels more like Mary Astor's character. Or possibly Peter Lorre. (Okay, not really Peter Lorre, but the mismatched imagery amuses me.)

I don't even have a TV anymore, yet that imagery amuses the heck out of me.
