SPN 5x2

1.  Did anyone else find it delicious that, had Sam given in to the urge, they might have figured out much earlier that they were being played, when he couldn't taste demon in the blood?  Just me, then.

2.  I loved barkley 's observation that Dean's unburdening himself of his most valued possessions is a self-protective move: get rid of everything that matters and maybe he won't have any weaknesses to be exploited.  After all this time, Dean, you've finally figured out how to be John!  Also, if anyone on the show notices that Dean is recapitulating Sam's arc, accepting isolation to gain strength, I will be very pleased.

3.  I liked the XF-esque music cue right after the XF reference.

4.  I want much, much Dean/Ellen and Castiel/Dean porn about how empty Dean feels now.  Thanks!

Not just you. :D :D :D

It never fails to get me how fucked up these boys are. They have incredibly fucked up (but normal once you subtract all things supernatural about their lives) methods of coping and it's just fascinating watching how far they'll go, wondering just when they're going to break. I admit I am anticipating the moment when they - and Castiel - reach that breaking point and just crack.

Totally! Dean offering the Impala, saying essentially "take me with you" (if you leave me, can I come too?) but before that having to give up the core symbol of his relationship with Sam so Cas can find God--that's some fucked up right there, and the personal and the apocalyptic are so perfectly intertwined. That they're not curled up in three separate little pillbug balls is the real miracle.
