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. :(

I think I'm coming off as being unsympathetic to Dean, which is totally not the case.

I'm entirely on board with you when you say Sam's breaking away is the only healthy thing anyone in his family has done.

Oh, boys. They're BREAKING MY HEART.

Aw, I know you love Deano too! ;D

I just felt the need to ramble a bit on the subject. I've seen Sam!hate before, but I've actually come across a lot of Dean!hate after the last episode, which is making me sad. How do people hate either of them? This is like when I was in Veronica Mars fandom, and half the fandom hated Veronica. DOES NOT COMPUTE.

I don't get it either.

I can't bring myself to hate either of them. Right now I am VERY ANGRY with Dean, but I'm sad and heartbroken for him too, poor bunny.

I WANT MY BOYS FIXED!

*weeps*

I'm not even angry at him. He really thinks he has nothing, but of course we know he has Sammyyy! I'm really hoping Sam will get to step up and save the day this time around, and it looks like it's heading in that direction.

Ugh, I want next week's episode NOW. I swear I'm more excited for it than I was for the season premiere.

I really hope so. Dean needs a break from saving the world all the time, and Sam needs to step up to the plate after all this time.

Next week had better take a step toward fixing things, even a tiny bit. I don't know if my heart can take this. :(

Seriously. I LIKE a bit of bleakness in books, TV, etc., but this has really gone on far enough. There needs to be bro!hugs, stat!

Kittens and puppies and DAFFODILS, I tell you!
