...Sorry, I'm addressing comments backwards. :)<br /><br />That's true, Mary, he does, but people do change, and for less powerful reasons than the one Dean's been given. He and Sam have had to rebuild their trust over and over, and it was always possible because of their core relationship. And now Dean believes that core relationship is a lie, that Dean was never as important to Sam as Sam was to him.<br /><br />Dean never believed God existed, never believed Castiel would find him, or, if he did, that he'd help. So now that all hope for that is gone, why wouldn't the amulet just go back to being his present from Sam? Why wouldn't he put it back on? I really think he threw it away because Sam hurt him, not because God did.Natalie J.

Loved his "...I was really happy to see Ash too. Loved his "I'm cool with it" moment. :)<br /><br />I will admit to some discomfort during this episode, though overall I liked it. There are moments like when the God depicted by SPN as not caring and the angels being complete a-holes that make me uncomfortable.<br /><br />You know what was as crushing to me as Dean's faith completely dissolving? The look on Cas's face at the end.<br /><br />I think Sam probably got the amulet out of the trash, and it'll be important down the road.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236066461375464188.post-34007838633977543702010-04-02T23:51:20.618-05:002010-04-02T23:51:20.618-05:00But Dean holds onto things.

The amulet is now worthless in two ways, as a tool and as a symbol.Natalie J.

I know it was my fault, because I didn't say in my post that I was buying the show from iTunes to watch those missing minutes, but your comment came into my e-mail, and I read the first two lines, screamed, and slammed my hand on the monitor. LOL <br /><br />I just watched it, because I had to spend the day editing my manuscript for the agent who requested it this morning! It was excellent. A downer, yes, but so well done, and in keeping with the rest of the mythology. Wow, did Kurt Fuller kick ass, too!<br /><br />Anyway...Terri, this should be the black moment. (PLEASE let this be the black moment!) Maybe we'll have an ep or two of Dean not caring and living it up, or apathetically fighting whatever comes his way, or whatever. And then it's racing to the final battle.<br /><br />Maureen, I bet, if the memories had continued, they'd have gotten to Jess. They ended when Sam left for Stanford. They were chronological before that, at least for Sam. So maybe his reunion with Dean would have been part of it, too. Dean coming back from hell. But we'll never know, and Dean's just been broken and beaten too many times. *sob*Natalie J.

IT was seriously hard to watch, especially the garden scene as Dean's faith completely dissolved. Ugh. I read that Sera said she was going to take Dean to his rock bottom. How much more are they going to crush him? I loved seeing Colin, Chad and Traci! I hope that's not the last of them. And Nat, I agree that seeing Dean that happy during the fireworks scene was breathtaking. Both the boys faces were just alight with joy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236066461375464188.post-45894595425220085572010-04-02T17:49:01.410-05:002010-04-02T17:49:01.410-05:00The God Finder and the link to what Dean thought w...The God Finder and the link to what Dean thought was his and Sam's closeness.<br /><br />Honestly, can't they give Dean a LITTLE happiness??<br /><br />Great episode, but so sad. And I'm with you. Sam had better rescue that amulet!<br /><br />Poor Dean. His happy memories are of Mom and Sam as a kid and Sam's happy memories are of him alone. Notice Jess wasn't in his Heaven?<br /><br />But come on Dean--Sam was a kid. He's grown up. Realized what's important. They really ARE a team! <br /><br />AARGH!

Even the dh was happy.<br /><br />The part you missed--the gardener was Joshua, the angel who speaks to God. He told the boys to stop looking for God, that he knows what's going on and doesn't think it's his problem. Dean is really upset, and since the amulet is the God-finder, he tosses it.MJFredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06881706931355203700noreply@blogger.com
