Not that it wasn't a problem, just that it was eclipsed, from a story point of view, by the apocalypse.


I had the same problem with the season 5 ending. "you're a grown man, I'm going to respect that" is a fine plot development when the stakes are less than "and if this ridiculously risky plan fails, we're all screwed"

So in regards to season 4, even if Dean wasn't right, his reaction wasn't baseless, either. If that makes sense.
