'Mostly due to having absolutely no feelings, no emotional ties whatsoever.' Someone on another message board made the very good point that Sam basically got what Dean wanted in season four (ie not to feel anything) and I really hope they tie that into the season's big theme of getting what you think you want but not really wanting it; Cas got Heaven and he's miserable, Crowley is miserable as the King of Hell and Dean was miserable in his normal life.
'++ I hope Dean stops being an ungrateful jerk to Castiel, though.' Me too. As much as it adds yet another layer to their already complex relationship, I really hope Dean at least sees that Cas isn't nearly as not-human as Dean keeps saying he is. It's kind of funny that while Sam has stopped being able to feel, Cas feels more. Maybe Cas will have to give Sam some of his grace to replace the missing soul, just a theory.
'It was horribly written and characters were badly treated, and I'm praying, for the love of everything that is holy, that Lisa never ever returns. Let her character go with the last shred of dignity she has left.' THIS!
'++ I've already talked about the ending scene ad nauseum, my final say is that as unnerving as it was it was definitely appropriate for the fucked up way they live their lives. The lies, the charades, it stops here, and hopefully they will figure shit out from now on. *prays they move forward*' Me too. I liked that ending scene because I think it really showed that Dean had reached his breaking point. For all we know, Dean might wish that Sam had stayed away so he could have continued to live his normal life lie with Lisa and Ben.
'++ STOP MISSPELLING CASTIEL'S NAME SHOW! I AM NOT GONNA TELL YOU AGAIN! *cue rage!face*' Where, oh where do they keep getting that second S from.
'Even with Castiel's brief appearance I loved it even more than most of the scenes featured in this episode, which is totally not showing how biased I am. ;p ' Me too. It really says something about how well Jensen and Misha play off each other that they can make even brief scenes so interesting.
