I think ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
amalthia shared this with me: add tabs (like in Firefox) to Microsoft Office. I've only had it for a week and I adore it.
Future-Dean called now-Dean “Dean,” while now-Dean couldn’t manage to reciprocate, because future-Dean didn’t think of himself as really being Dean any more, and now-Dean sensed the same thing. Dean who gives up on Sam is not Dean, even if he’s also not Michael.
Other: I both loved future-leader Dean and hated that SPN managed to fuck that up because of SPN’s reflexive sexism: Dean was a leader of men, not a leader, which is stupid in ways that Dean should know better than to be stupid. If Risa is one of your soldiers, you don’t fuck around with her in the first place, much less then fuck around on her. I can barely accept that he did it because he knew he was going after Lucifer and didn’t plan on anybody surviving and thus did one more shitty thing to prove that he wasn’t worth caring about, (and that she wasn’t either,) but still it irked me. Dean and Cas as bitter exes, however, pleased me greatly. Nonetheless, I like Castiel a great deal more than Misha Collins (please don’t hurt me!) and agree with Dean that Castiel should never change.

Amen. I was so annoyed by that during the whole ep. It was one of the (admittedly many) things that was harshing the possibility of squee.
I was somewhat able to see future!Dean's sexist manwhoring as part of the Many Ways In Which Future!Dean Is Being Coded As An Asshole, which made me give a half-hearted "Um... yay? SPN admits that this makes him an asshole?" but only somewhat because of SPN's awful track record when it comes to, as you say, reflexive sexism, and it's general inability to pull off anything that subtle.
And the fact of these women being ostensibly soldiers in "his army" just added another level of UGH.
OT: I don't care whether you have me friended here or on LJ, but I never know where to comment! It seems like all the long comment discussions take place on your LJ. Do you care either way?

Commenting: I have basically given up adding people on LJ out of general exhaustion/time constraints. In my experience, source discussions and fic comments are more extensive on LJ, whereas when I do meta/book reviews the discussion is more balanced or trends to DW. Either way is cool with me; I'm still considering consolidating comments, which maybe I should start doing so as not to create such a dilemma.

And the sexism in 5.04 was also pretty glaring, coming on the heels of 5.03...
"Dear Women of SPN, I regret to inform you that apparently there is no role for you to play in the apocalypse other than emotional leverage or sex industry workers."
In 5.04, it's almost like the women were a combo of the two, but with even LESS real agency beyond Risa's superficial soliderdom. Or something. DNW.
Commenting: I can dig it. I'm just obsessed with streamlining. If I posted a lot and had a lot of readers, I would be schizo about consolidating and all "Why can't everyone on LJ just move to DW!?!?!" :)
Also, I read most posts via RSS Feed (Google Reader), only coming directly to DW and LJ when I want to A) comment, or B) read flocked posts.
For the people who cross-post, I have to decide whether to RSS their DWs or their LJs. In your case, I chose the LJ because your entire posts show up in the reader, whereas your DW just shows the post title and then I have to click through. So then, I click through and obviously it leads to the LJ. So I'm all, "Bzzah? Should I go comment on DW instead because she knows me there?" But LJ shows "X comments on DW" and if there are Zero, it increases my "Bzzah?"
Sorry, I'm totally tech spamming you right now. XD

I also agree with your assessment of the last SPN episode. Future Dean did not appeal to me at all. But I liked that present Dean was horrified by what all Dean was doing. However, I did notice that Dean didn't seem at all surprised that future-Dean was sleeping around.
