If they needed Zeke to do his healing thing – why not knock them out or something...? I have a theory about this kind of based on a future casting spoiler. I would love for there to be a good explanation for all these deaths, but honestly I think it's a cheap reason for Zeke to use up his powers so that he'll be stuck in Sam's body for longer, ie. the midseason hiatus.
Also – Meg... can we please have her back now? Please? I loved Meg for the most part, but then S7 and 8 hit, and I was just like, WTF happened? I found her character to be very badly-written, and shoehorned into most of her episodes :(
and also Dean telling Sam it was his choice, and that Dean respected him as a grown man - that was fantastic. YES. AND WHERE DID THAT GO?!? And yeah, no matter how much they saved for an epic battle scene, there's no way they could've made it believable. It's hard enough for multi-million dollar Hollywood films to pull it off!
Perhaps he was *so* angry with Sam leaving because he had issues with abandonmet by close family, Oh my gosh, I don't know how this didn't occur to me earlier, but YES. John is one of those characters that I think really gets shortchanged in fandom. He so often gets painted as a flat-out abusive father (if not worse). Which he is, but there's a lot to his character that could be explored, but I so rarely see it. Which is a little surprising since we got so much more insight into his backstory with "Time After Time".
the way they both talked about John – sounded like perhaps they both got a little closed to each other's opinion of him, and perhaps learned not to get into the topic in order to avoid fighting about? I definitely think that's the case.
