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. :(

why? because Sam is not too chicken to do something to get whatever he wants; whereas Dean did not even dare to acknowledge this longing.

I really do not get it. Dean got Sam back to hunt, at least one, with a 'I could, but I do not want to.' and Sam is the selfish bastard?!

Man, I haven't work up to this degree of proper rage in years, years.
