On X, a thought I had is that, for lack of a better analogy, Dean is Lancelot. That is to say, in all the ways that truly matter, he is pure and good and his heart is in the right place. He wants to do good, wants to save people and save the world and he almost always puts himself last. But there is one huge, glaring "dark spot" on his soul that keeps him from experiencing what only the truly pure (such as Galahad) can experience. For Lancelot, it was his unrepentant love for and subsequent affair with another man's wife. For Dean, I think it's the unrepentant love for Sam and the dark places he'll go just to keep Sammy safe. Or just to keep Sammy, period. It's not the best analogy, but it's the closest I've got. And hey, it's yet another subtextual example of Why Wincest Works.

Also, I totally agree on the LOL @ Bobby's "choose life." It made me think of Bobby starring in that Wham! music video with the "CHOOSE LIFE" sweatshirts and the teensy neon shorts. Rock on, Bobby. Rock on.
