META: The Six-Year Carousel Ride of Dean Angst & the Hope for Progress in S7
So....I've been vaulting my ep reactions the last couple of weeks. Because I honestly haven't known what to DO with the last two episodes. They did these things where they went much further and called back to the past much clearer than I expected them to go, and in that respect I LOVED THEM. But then they just left it there with absolutely ZERO

Not that I didn't love S6 and this season so far, but I think if they really want the series to continue long-term, they should be building the foundation for another large arc (like S1-5) rather than winging each season by season and repeating/meta-ing over the same points over and over. And I guess I've been hoping so hard that they'd do that, and that before they did they'd wipe the slate a little by mining and repairing those recurring dramas/issues from the first seasons.
I am almost afraid to hope that they really are doing that, and that they are going to try and heal Dean a little. In Dean's courtroom flashback when he remembered that awful fight he had with Sam before Sam let Lucifer out... that is still raw inside me, for heaven's sake. And if I never felt things like that were resolved properly, I can't imagine how it would feel to be the characters themselves ( ... )

What an apt description! Fuzzy waves. That is it for me exactly.

Yessss! That's the thing, I keep hearing people just want Sam and Dean to be right with each other again, but I can't help but want that to be EARNED. You know? They snap their fingers and they're fine again, that's not true and organic to the series. That's what it felt like they did in S6, which as a temporary given the situation made sense. But now they're bringing all this stuff back again after letting it settle. It's disconcerting, and yet potentially delicious!

I got the same feeling with that flashback. I'm still so taken aback that they USED that, you know? That's very bold to say that's so in the forefront of Dean's mind ( ... )

After 7x04 I had that feeling of "shit's gonna hit the fan" when Sam finds out about Amy, but after 7x05 I was feeling better about it. Yes, I still think that Sam's not going to be happy about it (possibly for several different reasons), but like you said, I think this new Sam can handle it.

Yea, 704 had me a little worried, I think 704 was just SO MUCH in Dean's headspace that it reflected Dean's fears more than the reality! Sam surely won't be happy with it, but it's not going to be relationship altering like Dean is so scared of. Except that maybe it will get it into his thick skull that Sam isn't going anywhere! XD
Oh and I didn't even have time to get into colors here, but I swear I kept thinking in that episode that Serge took the week off or something. Things were back in 705. Loved the phone call convo between Dean and Sam where there was blue and red in the background of each of them as they walked down the street. And the minute Dean hangs up on Sam he looks up to a green and red liquor store sign. TELLS IT ALL RIGHT THERE.
