And then sometimes I get really self-conscious about those posts because I see a show and think the writers are reading my journal so they can give me exactly what I want and I'm all I'M SORRY I SAID YOU'RE DEAD AUTHOR! AUTHOR, DON'T BE DEAD! ACTAR, ACTAR, ARE YOU OKAY?
This so made me burst out laughing!
And this episode was just that good. This is...I could not have asked for a more honest and incisive exploration of this relationship.
I KNOW!!! They just went there! I feel like we have been waiting for this moment forever and they NAILED IT!! It just gives me paroxysms of squee whenever I think about it
Saving Dean's life earns you the eternal benefit of the doubt
It really does have to be personal for him to get it, doesn't it? And, yeah, we are all this way to a certain extent. Things that we experience personally are more real to us. Some folks are just better at being able to put themselves in another's shoes than others are.
And I wonder, if Dean's experience with Benny had happened before Amy Pond, would he have been able to see the parallels? Would it have changed how he approached the situation? Would he have done anything differently? I'd like to think that season 8 Dean would have approached it differently even if season 7 Dean probably would have not. I guess I feel that way because my read on Dean for the second half of the season is that he is making more of an effort.
