It's either d or e. Also, Amara said she would protect Dean, and that they would protect each other. So, she's not going to take his soul. Also, he wasn't alone with baby Amara, so there was no secret moment when that could've happened. Amara was "hungry", and didn't "feed" until she took Jenna's soul.

You're probably right. I just liked to play with the idea.

Mind you . . . what if she already took his soul while they were in the cloud together? After all, if she needs souls to grow, she might have needed Dean's to get born in the first place. Just saying :P

It's an interesting idea.

I think she takes souls to feed her when she's in a physical body. She didn't have souls to feed on when she was the Darkness before Creation, and she hasn't feed on souls the entire time she was locked up from the Mark. And how can she protect Dean, if she eats his soul? It would go against what she's telling him.

If she needed a soul, she could take the baby's soul as it was being born. Also, Dean isn't behaving like he's soulless, and Crowley would know, just like he did with Jenna.

She actually said they would always help each other. She might think that relieving him of his pesky soul was helping him. Citizens of the dark side don't generally seem to regard having a soul as a pos :P

I have to watch those two eps back to back and really pay attention. I feel like major bits of the newest ep slipped past me because there were so many odd little jogs in it, little things that didn't really make sense to me. Mind you, I watched it on a set that had a terrible picture and sound, with tons of distraction and with my brain firmly set at 'the world is horrible and out to get me'--not the best mindset for an SpN ep. :D

Actually, it might be the right mindset for SpN but SpN's not a good show for that mindset. Hope you've found something more uplifting since.

And, yeah, well if I sat there with my plot picker I could probably knit a new jumper out of it :P

I'm going with E. And it's not even the worst "too soon" joke the writers have made Dean tell. Remember "but you didn't shoot the deputy" from Jus in Bello? Or "Dude, you full on had a girl in you for a week" from "Born under a Bad Sign"? I guess you could argue that Dean is a not-literally soulless asshole, but I choose to believe that the writers can't resist the cheap jokes.

I think maybe the difference between this and the previous examples is that where they showed a lack of sensitivity, this showed a complete lack of shame. But, you're maybe right that it's the writers who lack shame :P
