I liked the Bobby, but definitely do not want it to become the norm. The odd "Look at his awesome!" episode is cool, but the boys do not need that much having healthy relationships with people who support and care about them. Okay, they obviously and blatantly do need it, but that's precisely why they shouldn't get it.

I kind of like Dean's "What the hell is God up to?" rage, even though it was mixed up with his blatant self-esteem issues. I also liked the ghosts using Dean's low self-esteem in an effort to kill him. Best plan to kill Dean Winchester ever! "We shall kill you with your own sense of unworthiness!"

I liked Castiel better in this. He reminded me weirdly of John Constantine from Hellblazer (not to be confused with John Constantine from Constantine). I heartily approve of any Dean/Dodgy Castiel slash, except for how it gets to the same big issue as all Sam/Ruby.

And Sam/Ruby is now explicitly at least dub-con, depending on what you think of the state of the girl whose body Ruby's using. Which is interesting timing, as it's just been canonically hinted at happening.

And I really want you someone to write the Dean/Castiel where Castiel's all "My host is totally cool with this, promise!" and Dean's all "Why should I believe you when I don't believe anything else you've said?" except I can't figure out how to not have it hopelessly bogged down in the whole Christianity and Homosexuality thing, because I'm American, and the Christianity I run into on a daily basis tends to center heavily around arguments about three things; female submissiveness, control of a woman's reproductive system, and the ethics of guy-on-guy or girl-on-girl action (with the odd argument as to whether you can treat Genesis as a metaphor and still be Christian). So it clearly needs to be written by a European, who can be less "But this is what the people on TV are presenting as the central tenants of Christianity! It must be important!"
