SPN - 6.06 & 6.07 promo - I've got questions, surrounding the promo spill...

Well I’m glad after four stalled weeks I finally got that post done at the perfect time, eh?

( SPN - 5.06 & 5.07 PROMO - So that answered some questions, but guess what? Now I just have more...[semi-thinky thoughts] )

t that some evil goddess just told you your brother’s not human and you’ve had a rough week and all but he also just confessed himself and begged for your help.

Sam confessed because he was cornered; and his rational brain knows that the puppy eyes always work on Dean and the "I need help" line. He came clean, but it seemed completely expedient and self serving at that point, when Dean was pointing a knife at him and looked lethal.

Given that this Sam just casually exploded any chance for a life that Dean had with cruelty and complete insoucience, and meanwhile Dean doesn't even have his brother with him in a meaningful sense,, yeah, he exploded. Sam, himself, triggered this more cruel version of killer Dean that we had this week by deciding it was a good idea to have him turn into a vampire and experience that world first hand. Big surprise that Dean is exhibiting an edge that he haven't seen since season 3 but it's now turned towards Sam, not the world.

Um, okay, actually I was just talking about my reaction to it all. It's totally debatable based on your own reaction, but for me, I haven't winced like that since Lucifer pratically popped Dean's one eye out. But that was LUCIFER. Seeing Dean in that total flipped switch rage mode, for me as a viewer, was a seriously horrifying way to end the episode to me. The episode closed and my brain went THAT WAS REAL DEAN. WHO JUST DID THAT TO PARTIAL SAM. I've had Sam figured out for weeks, but it was Dean this week that surprised the hell out of me. That's my reaction, I can't change that.

Yeah - it was clearly meant as a vivid, visual callback to Lucifer's beatdown of Dean. No question. Just as Dean's unvamping vision sequence, which climaxed in seeing Sam stand still and let him be turned with a twist of pleasure glancing across his lips was a direct callback to Sam's vision sequence of himself and Dean that climaxed in Dean's embrace after he had given up his soul for him. These two sets of actions were inversions of each other ( ... )

...and I agree with you!

That's why the episode was so terribly great, IMO.
