katikatPoint: Angels are just as bad as demons, just fighting for a different side. Go figure.
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.

Because if someone did what Sam's doing to Dean now to me, I would never really trust them again. I just couldn't be sure. I could forgive but I could never forget and there would always be this tiny voice in the back of my head telling me "He did it once, why can't he go behind your back and lie to you again? How can you be sure that he doesn't still think you are a weak whiner?"
That's just my personal experience. I never forget. Never ever. It's a curse but the bad things just tend to stick in my head and what was good and nice before gets sour and ugly fast.
