Angry rant under the cut, cos I love Dean, but he’s pissing me off.
@rosemoonweaver yes. Yes. Yes. Nothing we’ve seen of Jack so far has indicated that he’s evil. Donatello even said that Jack’s power felt like Lucifer’s, except NOT evil! Other than who his dad is, we have no reason to believe Jack is evil. It’s Sam and the demon blood all over again, just like Sam said.
Tbh, I’m kinda hoping we get some kind of Sam-gets-hurt-Jack-heals-him situation or that Jack is the one that brings back Cas. Maybe that would help Dean understand Jack better? Maybe see he’s not as evil as Dean seems to want him to be?
In a perfect world, I’d like Dean to get some freaking therapy so he can work through all those painful emotions he’s turning into anger and spewing all over the place. But. We’re probably not going to get that so one of those options seems more likely. I just wish Jack didn’t have to “prove” himself to Dean. He hasn’t done anything yet. He got scared and reacted, then he was taken advantage of by a demon for a hot minute. He’s not done anything bad through his own volition so this hatred and distrust Dean has is 100% misplaced. I get why Dean feels the way he does and I get why it’s happening on the show, but it’s frustrating.
I’m really glad Jack has Sam, though. At least Sam can relate and has been approaching this with compassion and understanding.
