Gods! You have no idea how the "sound" of these words still makes me feel. ♥ BSG gave me so much heartache and frustration I'm yet to recover from. That should teach me a lesson for taking a television show so much to heart, shouldn't it? \o/
I've read on other boards where posters were complaining that Dean was a jerk and being mean to Sam.
Sometimes I don't understand some people's urge to baby Sam. Yes, he was the youngest of the Winchesters. But he's quite a grown man by now, and has been through too much to wallow in pettiness. In that sense, I expect him to be mature enough to hear and understand what Dean was saying. And Dean had a valid motivation here. To be honest, even at the conclusion of this episode, I'm not entirely sure Dean was wrong at being afraid "they", the ubiquitous bad guys, would use the love the boys shared to destroy them. Their love *is* their weakness, but it is also their *strength*, a double edged sword once again.
Yeah, he still had the same haircut and (yummy!) scruffiness, but Dean14's face looked different to me--it looked thinner, harder. His eyes were colder. His body even looked thinner to me.
Oh I saw these differences too! That's what I meant by 2014!Dean seemed edgier (translates to leaner and meaner) to me. But the changes are subtle. I think lanye67 was talking about longer hair (a la Alec from Dark Angel), or sporting a cut here or there? After all, Dean's been fighting a gorilla war all these years, how would he have the time to get a haircut? ;)
But aesthetic value aside, I actually like it that there are little outward differences between the Deans. Because Jensen and the writer were so good at delineating the two versions, making them so unlike each other, the visual similarity became a reminder that they are really the same person deep down. A little backward, isn't it?
But when Dean14 told Dean09 to say "yes," it sounded so much like what Zach's been saying that I couldn't help but wonder if Zach was making all this up...
I see what you are saying. The thing is not everything Zachariah has been saying is invalid. The scary part is he might even have a point. I think the future Dean took a lot upon himself with how the world turned out. That's why he's pleading with himself. But then he also knew he would make the same decision again, given the chance.
