SpN 8X09 my off the cuff first reaction

[roxy]

I'm a Dean girl, always have been, even though I don't make a big deal about it. What a douche. I'm going to take a deep breath, do a little woosah. No, fuck that, where does he get *off* with that shit? This is the first time I've ever thought that he made a call that was totally, completely wrong. In seven seasons, he's been a jerk, but let's face it, he's always been right. Not tonight. That was harsh, that was mean, and that was totally self-serving. Trust me, I know very well from self-serving dickery and that was a prime example. He *knew* that was going to hurt. Boy, Dean never forgets and only half-forgives, hunh? How is Sam supposed to come back from that? How are they asking us to *forget* about that? Sam paid all the penance he needs to pay, *all* of it. Anything he did wrong, and don't tell me he wasn't a fucking bitch to Dean with Ruby and the seals and whatnot, he was--but he paid for that. He's got a clean slate. But Dean...*holds up hands* I can't even think right now.

Here's something that struck me tonight. I thought Sam left Amelia and went to meet Dean, but no one actually said that's what he did. It would be too much of a coincidence if Don came back the exact same time as Dean. So Sam must have left before Dean got back. What happened to Sam in the time between leaving Amelia and going to Dean?

I do agree that the fake message was a supremely dick move. Dean has been a lot of things over the years, but cruel isn't one of them. I'm sure he doesn't know the extent of Sam and Amelia's relationship because Sam doesn't seem like he's in a sharing mood with Dean and Dean hasn't seen the soft focus fashback-a-rama, but that was still really mean.

I also think it was very unlike Sam to leave an unstable guy in the path of a vampire.

What is going on??? It's like bizarro SPN. But I love it.

Now that I've chilled a bit, I have to agree with you. There's no reason to assume that Dean knew how Sam truly felt about Amelia--he's probably comparing Sam's relationship to Lisa and his. Because sorry, there's no way in the world anyone can convince me that he thought that was a lifetime love, not when he chose Sam over her.
