glorious_spoonLike I said, my ass was gonna be in that seat for 6.01, no matter what. So, anyway, I have thoughts, which are cut to spare flists from my semi-coherent crawling-up-my-own-ass rambling.
1. I really hope that the whole 'Sam and Bobby let Dean think Sam was IN HELL for an entire year because they thought he was better off playing suburban dad (and coincidentally painting a big, fat target on the people who took him in)' thing is addressed beyond 'IT WAS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, DEAN'. At the very least, I want Sam to get clocked in the face. Seriously, that is an unbelievably shitty thing to do to someone, high-handed and callous and totally fucking self-centered, and if it turns out that Dean is more or less okay with it, I will be severely pissed off.
1a. I think I might have this strong a reaction because I'm in the camp that never really bought that Dean hated the hunting life. The whole post-hell, impending Apocalypse, brother-who-is-the-vessel-of-Lucifer, the fate of the world quite literally in his hands part, yeah, I think he hated that. And I can completely buy that he wanted to give it up after the way his life got seriously fucked up sideways S5. But I don't think he hated hunting, which makes it hard for me to buy the idea that he was just itching for a chance to run off to the Normal Life.
Dean wanted the people he loved safe and happy; Sam was the one who always wanted the apple-pie life in and of itself, which is why this whole 'turn Dean into Ward Cleaver' thing kind of reads to me as Sam shoving his brother into the life he always wanted but no longer feels like he can have. And Dean went with it because he had nobody left and nowhere to go, and Lisa's place was the only place he could go that didn't hurt.
1b. Does Sam not remember how he was acting when Dean was in Hell?
1c. Does Sam not remember that Dean was in Hell, and therefor could imagine in vivid technicolor detail exactly what could have been happening to Sam in the Pit?
2. I want to know what the hell is up with the Campbells. Are they evil? Because that would actually be cool.
3. I liked Sid :(
4. I actually liked the Dean/Lisa relationship, which I was honestly not expecting. It seemed honest--not perfect, but real.
5. Okay, so legally speaking, Dean Winchester is a dead felon, and I never really got the impression that he and Sam were terribly concerned with creating bulletproof fake ID's. None of this is a huge issue with them living on the road, under borrowed names and completely under the radar, but I don't see how Dean is going to be able to settle down in suburbia with a normal job and a truck and his real name without that raising a couple of red flags somewhere along the line.
6. Yeah, okay, so I liked the ep. And like the sad little fangirl that I am, I'm writing fic already.
