Yes, yes and yes! (Consider this a Meg Ryan moment from when Harry Met Sally.)
Die hard Sam girl that I am, this season has not been kind to Dean's perspective or demonstrated any form of "stable" in his personality. I find that frustrating beyond belief. One Ep we have the incredible, awesome, thoughtful, kind, loving big brother that is a matured man leading straight the next Ep in which he plays stupid? Sorry. That was a few episodes ago but I guess it got stuck between my teeth like a bad piece of spinach on a really important date.
Your opinion on not only this Ep but on the fans that pay attention was very well stated. Thank you for being a voice within this community. And back to SPN...
In addition, while I felt that the trials were originally intended for Dean (and I sincerely believe that), I understand the writer's choice to make them Sam's. There is no way you can hurt Dean more than by hurting those he loves and feels it is his responsibility to take care of. Sam. The kids in the last Ep. Everyone he has ever saved. As an "oldest/older" sibling, I get it. Eff what you do to me. Touch my little brothers or my baby sister and I might well end you without a thought.
I am choosing to trust the writers, my friend. They are telling us the story. We are still fascinated. After all of these years. :)
