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 can see him wanting it in theory, thinking it'd be all grand and swell but I don't know if I can actually believe him acting on it.

I thought the point of that episode was it illustrated how much good had come from the bad he (and Sam and John) had experienced in their lives. They might not've had normal and somewhat of a happy existence (I mean, Sam didn't even associate with Dean in that world), but a LOT of people were allowed to because of the work they do. Then again, I might be stupid and be totally wrong.
