I am tired of Dean's man!pain, I am tired of him looking like he's always on the verge of tears and acting like his worries rank higher than everyone else's. It's refreshing to see Sam shrug in the face of it and say, "I couldn't care less about your girlfriend, your maybe-son, and I don't really care about you, either." Thank you, Sam, it was time to disassociate yourself. Maybe the writers intended to pull my heart strings with the new wall between them, but I was laughing (maybe cheering), because there's been a wall there since Season 3. Don't try and tell me this is something new, we've seen it all before; but this time it's funnier.
Yeah, I don't envy the moment Sam gets his soul back. I'm betting now there'll be a whole episode where he disappears to deal with his grief, maybe do stupid things to try and make amends including (but not limited to) offering himself up to be stuck like a pig. Maybe to help Grandpa Winchester. I might just wait for someone to read me back the highlights. There's only so much man!pain I can sit through.
