Supernatural 420

I'm not sure if I still like the show as much as I used to. I mean, it's still great and really intense. But I fell for the show because of its "Family above everything" motto. I loved the horror, the bleakness - as long as it was balanced with Sam and Dean being brothers. Them against the big bad world? Awesome. Them against the big bad world AND each other? Not so much. I'm sick of shows/movies/books that set brother against brother because obviously, people love it - well, I don't. I want Sam and Dean to be what they were not... this. I never understood the "tension" writers reportedly produce by letting people who used to be close at each other's throats. Yes, because it's so much fun when a person that I would die for stabs me in the back.
