Supernatural : 6x01 : Exile on Main Street.

Even though I don't know how I feel about this show I am going to be really spammy about it.



So, Dean said (and this is slightly paraphrased) "I only went to them (Lisa and Ben) because you told me to!" or perhaps he said, "because you asked me to!"

... WHAT? Like, seriously that is the ONLY REASON Dean's there now? Or well, that's the only reason he started out there? No, but seriously seriously?

If Sam had said to him, 'I want you to poke yourself in the eye and ride a horse off a cliff' Dean would have done that?

I get that Dean's got issues but not that long ago when Sam said to him, 'I think we should split up.' he was all fine with that AND ... what? Did we miss all the phone calls Dean made asking Sam what he should do every moment? Or is it just for big moments (the ones that even if you see 'em coming you're not ready for them) that he asked Sam.

I do not understand this show and it's logic at all.

eta: When Buffy died, all she told Dawn to do was "live" ... why couldn't Sam say the same? And okay, maybe I'd get if Dean went there for a bit to stay there for a year? I don't know.

I thought that when Sam fell in the hole, Dean was just distraught and rudderless and would have spent the rest of his short life trying to get himself killed, but he'd made that promise to Sam.
But Sam obviously MADE him make that promise because he thought it was something that Dean could live with, a chance for him, if you like, and as it turns out, it WAS something that Dean could live with.
And having done that, even if Dean would like to go with Sam, he's got a new commitment/responsibility to seeing Lisa and Ben are all right. So he's TORN. I really hope they don't kill Lisa and Ben. That would SUCK. But if they don't I'm not sure how they're going to get the SamnDean dynamic back.

But then, Sam seems very demonic/angelic/PTSD. So we need Sam back before we can get SamnDean back.

I'm not sure how I feel about the show either but I'm enjoying thinking about it!

Yeah, I'm on board with the idea of it sorta but to stay a whole year so far? I don't know. I just ... Meh. I don't know why Dean likes Lisa or Ben beause I don't know anything about them. So, there's that. And Dean knows what his upbringing was like, knows what his world and THE world is like and to be a Father Figure and a Husband Figure, I don't know if I'd believe Dean would do that, put others through that even if it was secretly what he wanted or what Sam wanted for him.

I'm not sure if any of that made sense.
