i've been watching some of the early-series reruns on tnt (today i saw, uh, 2x05, can't remember the title, but the first time we meet andy, who is JUST AS CUTE in reruns) (seriously, he's so adorable) and the contrast between sam&dean then and sam&dean now is amazing. not just in terms of what they're dealing with - i mean, they've both gotten past john's death and sam's visions and the way they were raised and etc etc - but back then they seemed to at least like being with each other, a least most of the time. and in s7 and half of s6 (after sam got his soul back) they also seemed to be on pretty good terms. i mean, last season was kind of devoid of massive amounts of inter-brother angst and woe and anger and distrust - well, aside from dean killing amy - and yes they argued about stuff (ghost!bobby) but by and large they got along and acted like brothers who actually kind of enjoyed each other's company. and there's none of that any more, or only little glimpses, and i miss it SO MUCH. i know you need some tension otherwise the show is kinda boring, but there are other ways to get that besides making your two main characters hate each other.
you can totally opine! that's partly why i post recaps, so other people can share their opinions.
