Heh, yeah, I also had to wait until it was all out, because I didn't want to make myself crazy waiting for the next part.
I agree with you on the reinterpretation of events being wonderful. And I totally adored Sam giving the creepy towns-people what-for. They DESERVED it. And Dean deserved to live in blissful ignorance, while Sam had his happytime vengeance. I love Sam's fury when Dean is hurt - it's beautiful, how protective he is. (Even the part about the healers -- he mentions that they were right about fixing Dean -- which is SO something which left canon!Sam all conflicted.)
I love this hardened version of Sam in the same way that I loved the changes Sam went through in season three. ("Who holds the contract?" "I can't tell you." "BLAM!" One of the most satisfying moments ever.) A protective Sam is more appealing -- which is not to say that he wasn't protective in the actual series, but Sam-seeking-vengeance? Exacting retribution for wrongs done to Dean? _SO_ my favourite type of Sam.
