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.

The text was a dickish move on Dean's part but not really cause as he admits he never checked on her so Dean has no idea about Don etc. And I admit being a Dean girl makes me really less tolerant of Sam's attitude and the flash backs bore me. Sam has just been waiting to prove Dean wrong about Benny. This is bit of pet peeve I have with the show. Sam always trying to act like he's better or knows better thanDean and he seldom is and it just ends up into a bigger clusterfuck. Okay rant over back to normal programming

My original thought was that it was a dick move because he had to have had some idea of how much Amelia meant to Sam--but maybe not, at second thought. Still, that was crappy and I'm still steamed with Dean. As for me, for a Dean girl, I tend to be supportive of Sam. Sure, he acts like an asshole and never listens to Dean when he should but that just makes him the little brother. I think he *acts* like he knows more than Dean because Dean makes him feel inadequate, even though Dean doesn't set out to create that feeling and he certainly doesn't feel that Sam comes up short.

Ah, SpN, you're raking fandom over the coals!
