And if people in fandom cry now about his demise, then I can only say that those probably never faced that exact problem with writing a good story or episode.
Yes, this is my thought as well. And I'm sure they'd come back and say "well maybe you just aren't a very good writer! A good writer would figure it out!" but I could always turn that around and say "a good writer knows when to sacrifice a character for the good of the story" :P
Let Dean be mean, unfair and wrong - I don't care. I would LOVE a real shouting-match, one screaming at the other what he did wrong and how they abandoned each other. It's just ... man, for one, mouthwatering, and two, would be a great way to resolve their problems. AND (as a minor bonus) sooth some fans because BOTH can be unreasonable and unfair towards the other.
I agree 100%
but letting it stand as it is... It'll be like Bobby burying Rufus. There'll always be regret tainting the memory.
I also agree with this - and that's a very good comparison, because that's exactly how it is at the moment.
