Supernatural ep review - Two and a Half Men (6.02)

I'm not putting anything this side of the cut, because I'd hate to spoil anyone, but it has just occurred to me that putting the title in my header could be doing just that, so please let me know in comments if this is the case and I'll stop doing it.

I agree with you about all the fan rumblings about Dean not knowing how to take care of a baby after raising Sam. Fact is, at 5 years old, he wouldn't have had the manual dexterity to take care of a baby, let alone change it's diapers. By the time Dean began taking an active role in taking care of his brother, Sam was probably walking. Plus, Dean most likely wouldn't remember the day to day care of his baby brother that he witnessed. What 5 year old would?
Sorry for the rant. I've been busting to get that out since I read some of the fan criticism. Thanks for listening.

You rant away! :D I had no idea there was fan criticism on this, but sadly it fails to surprise me (if you could point me towards some, I'd be interested to have a read - most of what I've seen has been pretty positive).

Dean does extremely well with the baby, for sure, and maybe some of that is based on vague memories of watching Sam being cared for, but not much. His skills in this are presented very much as a learning curve (in the supermarket he doesn't have much of a clue) and Sam's surprise at Dean's prowess lead me to think Sam had no expectation of Dean being any good at it. (So why did he call him? *narrows eyes at Sam*)

I'm putting most of it down to Dean having a lifetime's experience of reacting fast to changing events. Also being intelligent and a quick learner. And having a genuine desire to make the baby feel cared for.

Thanks for responding! :)

Thank you! I kind of stalled on this whole project, being (as my flist would tell you) somewhat sporadic in my LJ attendance, but your lovely feedback may just be the kick up the backside I needed!

(Thank your cousin as well. :) )

You were meant to blog. It has inspired me to start my own blog on barrie dentist

Hmmm for some reason only half the post can be seen. I tried reloading but still same.

Some bizarre LJ naughtiness, must be. It's showing fine for me, but I've clicked 'edit', checked all the text is still there and re-saved. (This being my version of 'switch it off then on again!)

Any improvement? :)
