Seriously! Like, yeah, I get that he was a demon and he was potentially dangerous being around too many people, but they could have played with exactly how dangerous he could potentially be. They seemed to want to do that with the whole MoC thing so why not just extend the demon thing for a little longer? ugh. Yeah, I’m a little bitter about how little demon!Dean we got.
@rosemoonweaver YES! It was like – MoC was demon!Dean without the super powers. Which, yeah, sure, I get that but– Come on. Give us a little more. I love it when the brothers are together and all that jazz as much as the next fan but– Sometimes a little bit of different is nice. Especially since they spent that whole damn season fighting anyways.
Yes! Like, honestly, I don’t think I would have minded if Sam and Dean were separated for a little longer. They always come back to each other anyway, so I don’t see why they couldn’t just play with that for a bit. Or even just give us more than Dean singing karaoke when they were separated. I dunno. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I don’t see anything wrong with giving Sam and Dean a little time apart if it cranks up the angst factor and there’s a good reason for it. And demon!Dean was as good a reason as they’re ever really gonna have. The lying to each other and fighting thing got old in season 2 for me.
You and I are both minority then because I agree completely. The fighting over the same stuff got dull fast. But demon!Dean, hell even purgatory!Dean – were both great ways to separate the bros and add to the angst without being dull. Purgatory would have been a little harder to work considering they fucked up Sam’s entire storyline while Dean was in purgatory so there would have been almost no Sam on screen if they’d kept him there longer (because seriously – no one wants to see Sam with that dull ass existence while Dean’s fighting for his life in Purgatory.)
Definitely!
I really hate what they did to Sam when Dean was in purgatory. Like, I get why he ran off – he was depressed, had no idea how to fix it and had no one left so he was hiding – but they never did anything more than give that a throwaway line. And I wish they would have explored Sam’s grief more but they don’t seem to be good at exploring grief these days. But yeah. It could have been great angst if they did more with it. Like if they would have had Sam look for Kevin, kill demons, and angst about the fact that he didn’t know how to even try to get Dean back or if it was even possible.
I’ve never been a fan of Sam and Dean fighting. Even in the early seasons, I was like… why? There are ways to drive tension and angst without having characters lie and fight and there are plenty of things spn has done in the past that could have provided that but I think they’re too afraid to actually do that.
