First of all, I would so loooove to watch an episode with you! Too bad Supernatural or the boys never featured at Dragon*Con (or did I miss something?) Otherwise it would be so awesome to have a reunion in Atlanta and we can just feast on watching BSG and SPN! *wistful*
I think the characterization of both boys was awful--Dean looked like a jerk at times...
I agree with you here. I think they went out of their way to show the crude side of Dean to make viewers more sympathetic with Sam. I don't deny Dean can be jerkish, after all that's what Sam's nickname for him, but they usually are not this pronounced, especially with his facetious attitude toward Gandhi.
Speaking of the man, I've been thinking more about this, and I can tell you another thing that bugged me HUGELY is the way they group Lincoln, Gandhi, and Paris Hilton in the same category. They drew no difference in worshiping public figures such as Lincoln, Gandhi, and Paris Hilton. Now that's just wrong! So WRONG!
And since when has Dean been that controlling over Sam?
Yes! Exactly. Dean might be a bit bossy which I think is a character trait that stemmed to the way he grew up, but Dean has never been able to control Sam.
I still don't think that Sam gets it--it's not about the apocalypse, it's about how he hurt his brother. He needs to say to Dean, "I am sorry I hurt you." That, to me, would show some character growth, for him to realize how his actions affected his brother.
Word! I so don't think anything is fixed except the brothers back on the road together like they were before. The problem plagued their relationship in the past is still there and unchanged. When I think more on this, I wonder if it wasn't left like that intentionally. One of the biggest driving force behind the whole myth arc is the question "Will Sam go dark, or Will Dean be able to prevent his brother turning to the dark side." As long as Sam continue to have that tendency of thinking only in terms of himself, he has that affinity with Lucifer, and thus the angst is still alive.
I have to admit to getting a little excited when she mentioned John! I was all, "JDM is in this one!"
OMG! I forgot to mention that I had a moment of mixed jubilation and panic when Paris Hilton said: "One distant father figure coming up!" I totally expected JDM to make a brief entrance, and horrified that one of the boys had to chop off his head!
