THAT LAST BIT. OH GOD, YES. Sam you have such a crush

They get Sam and Dean, but also, they get us, which is cool but kind of scary.

Right?! And you're right--it is a pretty low bar in retrospect, but it impressed me to bits that not only was this ep aware that a good portion of the vocal part of fandom were teenage girls, but was really respectful in their representation, and got a lot of fandom lingo spot-on.

Dean hanging the little replacement amulet between them…may be better than the active aggression he is convinced is his prerogative, but it is still peace on his terms only, and Sam will sit there and feel grateful for being ~met halfway, as if Dean had the right to expect him to give an inch.Aw, but that moment was so confusing, though? I hadn't anticipated the Samulet coming back when I went on an anti-Samulet diatribe just a few days ago. Among all possible Samulet scenarios, this was probably the best way to deal with it, and even this is an uncomfortably Dean-focussed compromise (actions > symbols, always ( ... )

Like, it's so rare for Sam to call attention to himself like that, even as a joke. (UNDERSTANDABLY, given.) BUT HE WANTS A SHOT WITH CAS, DAMMIT.

I would totally go for the Sam/Cas ship more than the Dean/Cas ship ( ... )

The relationship is still on Dean's terms which is one of the reasons I went off the 'brothers relationship ' the amulet scene did not do much for me (too cynical I think) that it fell short of what it could of been. But then I have always thought the amulet represented a brothers relationship long gone , although Dean it seems was lost on what the 'symbol' of the amulet meant and clearly did not regret throwing the real one in the rubbish bin.

I do not think much has changed between the brothers or how the fandom sees things but the episode was harmless enough and I liked the girls cast .

I totally agree with you! I actually feel like this is the writers' way of telling those in the fandom who are annoyed about the amulet and Adam that they are aware of them but they should take a chill pill and move on.

And yeah the episode was harmless and the girl cast was good.

"It didn't change my opinion and so it was worthless! Nobody else in this relationship matters! Just MEEEEEEEE and what I think!!" What a douche.

I think alot of brother fans are in love with a idea of what the relationship should be. Dean and his Sammy riding in the Impala along the backroads of America , which is why they went into hysteria when mean Sam forgot his place and said 'mean words' to Dean in the Purge.Because Dean cannot help himself he will always 'save' Sam whether Sam wants it or not.
