Supernatural 5x02

I can't believe that they went there, that they actually separated Sam and Dean, that Dean didn't protest when Sam suggested it... Sam's face, his broken expression when Dean simply agreed. I mean, I'm a Dean!girl but I'm not sure if I like Dean's reaction, his attitude. Sam needs help and instead of helping him, Dean's pulling the ground further from under Sam's feet...

But Rufus! Jo! Ellen! Bobby! Castiel! Awesome music!

And Dean's amulet! Eeeeeeeee! \o/

Yes, the episode was awesome. (LOVE the music!) And everyone! And Castiel being all like, "Well, you're hidden from me, too, DUH." Oh, and the amulet, WTF?! The amulet that Sam gave Dean, like, almost a couple decades ago? Wow.

Oh, and then there is the ending. I admit to being a Dean-girl, too, but man. Dean. It's just. I go back to his quote to Sam in season 4: "If I didn't know you, I'd want to hunt you." He's always seen hunting as much more black-and-white/good-and-evil than Sam has, and, while that lessened a bit in season 4, I think Ruby's betrayal sent him back to that. And then there's Sam, who lives in that grey area that Dean doesn't recognize. I think, at this point, Dean just doesn't know what to do with Sam. He doesn't even really know how to interact with him anymore. So, he took the easy way out by agreeing to let Sam leave. I saw no malice in the parting, though; I mean, Dean offered Sam the Impala, the one constant in his life, his baby.

And now I eagerly wait for next week. Although it's going to be weird with the two separated.

I loved the amulet part! That was awesome.

I'm not sure if I like the fact that Dean's basically turning into John - the hunt is more important than family. Dean's endless love for his family is what made me connect with him...

I'm not sure I see it as him becoming John. (Outside of the "If you walk out that door..." line from last season.) It's just that he honestly doesn't know what to do with Sam anymore, and Sam is becoming a liability to both of the brothers. So, they need to separate, if only so that Dean can figure things out.

I hope I'm not completely wrong and Dean actually is turning into John. D: Not cool, not cool.
