Oh - yes, that is *clever*. Women's Work always makes me angry, and I suspect it'll work even better now that I'm at a point in canon where I actually know who all of these women are. (The Price is also excellent beyond reckoning, but I'll always resent the inclusion of that clip of Laura Roslin's grave; fuck you, her death was the end of her journey, and that is not invalidated by the fact that it made Bill really sad.)
See, I really enjoy the Sam and Dean Are Not Functional Humans show, especially when they awkwardly try to talk about their feelings or point out to each other how much their childhood warped them. But I think what I'm enjoying most is how they're working things out now that John is out of the way and they can't just operate my automatically obeying (Dean) or disobeying (Sam) his orders. They actually have to make decisions for themselves! They have to evaluate the world and come to their own conclusions! They have to make incredibly stupid decisions based on their epic co-dependence and inability to even pretend to be functional humans without the other person in their life!
I mean, okay, they don't have to do that last one. BUT STILL. And then John shows up and suddenly they're like kids again, and Dean's just obeying and Sam's just rejecting, and while that's... probably pretty true to, you know, psychology, I just can't get into it as much.
