It doesn't change the very big issues I have with this action, because Dean took their memories from them - and the fact that it wasn't to protect them but to punish himself makes it even worse. It wasn't really about them, it was about him, and they didn't get a say in it.
Oh yeah, definitely. It was a bastard move for sure.
I don't think Dean is aware of that, though - he's never been able to see things from any perspective but his own.
Yes, that's always been one of Dean's flaws. It's one of the reasons he and Sam clash so much too.
I love that Sam called him out on it, because that means the show is aware of these issues and doesn't try to sell it as a selfless act of mercy.
Indeed, there's nothing merciful about it. I think there would be outrage if they had tried to sell it as such.
And despite my issues, I love that Sam shuts up when Dean tells him to because even though he doesn't like it, he can see Dean is suffering and is willing to put his own issues aside for his brother's sake.

Very true.
