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.

Someone else on my FL brought this up about Dean and I'll C & P the same response here:

That's the fundamental problem of Dean as a person/character - he hasn't made very many of his own decisions in his life. At least MAJOR decisions. He didn't have to listen to Sam, but he did. He took orders. Like the good soldier he was brought up to be. Like John himself had told him to get thee to a nunnery one night stand with some kid which may or may not be yours. Sam didn't do that to him, he did it to himself by not making his own choices.

Dean really needs a pair of balls.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Yes, he needs to. And it's fucking ridiculous for him to not be getting over that issue by this point. Esp. after the way Heaven and the angels exploited that aspect of him during season four and portions of season five in order to get him to do what they wanted. But, well, fandom's gonna be on his side no matter what, so who cares?

I sometimes wonder how Fandom would react if Dean because a Nazi or did something / became something as equally horrible. Seriously.

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Hhahaha. Oh, honey, I can already tell you fandom's reaction to that conundrum: "IT'S ALL SAM'S FAULT FOR BEING A SHITTY BROTHER." I swear to God, it's hard to tell I'm a Dean girl anymore.
