"The brothers have never seen eye-to-eye on hunting, and a year apart in such different circumstances, almost perfectly calibrated to reinforce their particular biases - Dean, transported to a simple black-and-white conflict, was rewarded for and found companionship in concentrated, exceptionally brutal hunting while Sam, left bitterly alone, found love and new purpose in a normal, safe environment - simply brought out their differences even more."
I'm pretty sure this is what the season has been going for...my quibble is how they have been telling the story. I don't feel I understood Sam's decision not to look for Dean until several astute meta writers contorted themselves to explain it in a way that makes sense.
And I have to say, last night's episode, 'Larp and the Real Girl' was like water in the dessert...I miss the boys who could find some enjoyment in life...
