IKR?!! Part of me is scratching my head, the other part of me is running around in almost-excited circles :P Lots of questions to answer for this new season... it's like starting from scratch :P
Exactly. The more and more the show develops the more and more I want to see Dean in a relationship where he's not taking care of anyone, or needing to take care of someone. I feel like every relationship he's ever had has either had him taking care of someone or following someone's orders. Cas? It's not so much. Yes, they're equals, and Dean wouldn't have to try to be anyone else around Castiel or take care of him. And they wouldn't take shit from each other. *sigh* Is it too much to hope we get really big hints of Dean/Castiel in canon
( ... )
Yeah. And Dean's the type of person that even if Sam or Jo could take care of themselves, he's still gonna feel the instinct to protect them and watch out for them... it's too ingrained in him, I think. And yes, he'd probably worry about Cas as well, but I think he's more comfortable with Cas in that sense... he knows that Cas can take care of himself, so he doesn't feel obligated to watch out for him. Dean would need a significant other who he wouldn't feel the need to protect, but would want to anyway, if that makes sense
( ... )
Parts I liked, parts I didn't like. I still feel like I have no idea who Lisa is. Though it was nice to get confirmation that Dean was messed up during that year, and it wasn't all easy.
Yeah. Lisa's still kinda 2-D... we don't know what she does, Dean hides his hunting inclinations from her, and tbh their relationship seems just "oh hey, we're here, let's be together." (Which I'm not complaining about :P). But I think we get a good glimpse of why she wants Dean around: for Ben. I'm convinced she's just wanting Ben to have a father figure. I like this, but I'm also still getting the vibe she's just there to cause problems and up the angst factor. If that's only why she's there... I'm a lil less than pleased. (at the same time, the shipper in me is loving that she's just kinda blahh :P I'm bad.)
Yes, I enjoyed that conversation in Bobby's. A lot.
But yeah, some things I was "eh" about, but I was okay with it overall... I'm treating it like it's a whole new show starting from scratch :P (and tbh, I was going in expecting to hate it, so that might add to why I'm liking it haha)
Dean was my favourite thing about this episode <3 I love that he was still Dean, I admit I had been very worried about him and I was glad to see him and to have him voice so many of the concerns I had over hiatus
( ... )
Same here :) I was expecting to go in and see him be all happy in suburbia or soft or something. Instead, we get a confused, still broken, struggling Dean. He's been forced into a corner and he's trying to make the best of things, and trying to take responsibility for his mistakes. It's incredibly sad, but I still see Dean in him and I'm relieved
( ... )
Especially after Jensen voicing that he hadn't been happy with the way Dean had been written, I was glad to find he was still Dean and I think a lot of that is down to Jensen and how he acts.
Lol! I liked how it was portrayed too, actually because it set my mind at ease and left me thinking there was nothing to be worried about. I don't see any chemistry between them and I'm fine with that. I think the scene with Lisa was telling. I get that Dean offers a father figure for her son and it's through that viewpoint that this is the best year she's had. What I don't get is, why Dean? She doesn't know Dean. Why did she suddenly decide that after ten years as a single mom that her son needed a father figure. I don't doubt that Dean is a good father figure--I think he has that ingrained in him, despite how he may have slept around in S1-3
( ... )
Yes! I was actually really happy to hear that from Jensen... maybe he'll knock some sense into the writers. And yeah, I have no doubt we owe a lot of what we saw (and maybe will see) to Jensen. His acting skills know no bounds :P

I just had to see what your thoughts were on 6.01 because I know you dislike the Lisa/Dean thing about as much as me. I couldn't even watch the ep because I just couldn't stomach it. I feel a whole lot better reading that the "relationship" comes across as obligation and Dean feels it as such. I've actually seen a lot of people mention the lack of chemistry between the 2 characters, for which I will be eternally grateful. It seems to me that the writers would be trying to set the tone of the relationship in the first ep and it sounds like it's not going to last. I just want to see a mutual breakup, Dean drive off in the Impala and never look back. Now that the tone is set, maybe I'm safe watching the next ep. :)
HaHa! I'm right there with you in the dentist chair.:) I'm so glad to know the writers would have to make some major changes to make the tone different than what was already set. Maybe I'll watch tomorrow. I DVR'd the first one so if I found out things didn't look all happy I could go back and watch it after he leaves her and gloat. I sure hope they get rid of her and the kid before the holiday hiatus. Now that would be a Merry Christmas!:)
lol, gloating will be in order :D Oh goodness, having Lisa gone from the series before the holiday hiatus would be a DREAM. That would just about make my Christmas... and possibly my whole new year :oP But yes! The dynamic between them has changed (and idk if you've seen 6.02 yet, but I'm still pleased with the developments), so... *keeps fingers crossed* Let us hope all goes well!
