I wonder if they're holding onto the Castiel confession for to cause a break between him and the boys, for future potential angst.
As for Cindy McClellan, I'm with you. If they've "dealt" with it offscreen, like how they did Dean's confession about breaking the first seal, then why the hell not allude to it? But it's more likely the Show is willfully ignorant and doesn't get it, therefore won't address it. I mean, this is the show who's first Latina onscreen, was a cliche (maid who can't speak English). *sigh*
When the Meredith Grey analogue was lighting into Sam, I was struck by her resemblance to Cindy McClellan, and was hoping maybe Sam would be struck too - this is the thing I need to see Sam feel bad about (aside from choosing Ruby over Dean), this is the decision that should haunt him.
Okay. Could you explain the "Sam chose Ruby over Dean" thing to me? I keep seeing this get said by so many fans and it's driving me crazy. I saw Dean rejecting Sam in S4 just as much as Sam was rejecting Dean, and I think Dean was choosing the angels over Sam just as much as Sam was choosing the demons over Dean, but I'm apparently the only one, which used to fill me with rage but honestly at this point is just baffling me. You're one of the more rational Supernatural fans, so if you honestly feel like Sam was choosing Ruby over Dean and he deserves to feel horrible about it, well....would you mind explaining why you feel that way? Where you're coming from? I know if you had to choose a Winchester you would pick Dean, so....I guess I just want to know

Aside from the whole trusting a demon at all thing (and I think you're right - Dean shouldn't have trusted Castiel, and he wasn't open to Sam's needs or attempts to communicate early in the season, so he's as much at fault for their troubles as Sam is, and Ruby was very good at insinuating herself into the emptiness Sam felt, especially after Dean was gone), at least twice in When the Levee Breaks, when Sam said, "Come with me to go kill Lilith," Dean said, "Ditch Ruby and it's a deal, we'll go together" and Sam wouldn't. Sam chose to go with Ruby rather than leave her behind to go forward with Dean. That to me is Sam choosing to trust Ruby rather than choosing to trust Dean.

YES but also

Ok. I actually hadn't caught that, and now that viewpoint makes a little more sense to me. I do wish more people would cotton on to the first part of what you said though, but oh well. Thank you so much to responding to my tl;dr :-) It's good to see things from a different POV sometimes.
