Two extra thoughts about 5.17

[ratherastory]

Back home, and I think LJ is letting me post again...

So why is it that when SAM wants to have a normal life and a family, it's wrong and selfish and hurtful to his family, but when DEAN wants it everyone goes "AAAAAAAWWWWW!"

Is it because Sam actually tried to get it for himself, whereas Dean is apparently willing to throw himself on the proverbial grenade? What?

The double-standard makes me sad.

:(


Also, I am SERIOUSLY ANNOYED by the Whore of Babylon thing. Come on, SPN. You can stop being so blatantly misogynistic any day now. :(

He expects to be burned to a crispy, mentally destroyed mess by an archangel
Except that Michael already promised him to give his body back fully intact instead of the vegetable mess the other archangels like Raphael seem to leave their no longer used vessels in.

Well, yes Michael did, but all the angels, even Cas who is trusted now,but who once kidnapped Dean and pressured him to torture Alastair and later let Sam out of the panic room, have shown that they will do or say ANYTHING to get Dean to say yes. Dean doesn't trust any angel except Cas any further than he can throw them. Michael may well be telling the truth but from everything we've seen of the angels so far I don't think Dean really believes that he'll be restored to himself when Michael's finished with him.
