Also... uh, another criticism: I think at this point, the boys should PROBABLY be able to recognize frickin' Enochian. They've been dealing with angels for at least 5 years now.
Good point. That did bug me a little, too. Surely Sam would've recognized it.
I think Sam is the one who got through to Dean to drop the blade. I agree with samantha890 that this is probably leading up to Sam saving Dean from himself, from being a killer. Of course, it could also work in combination...Sam might have to save himself from Dean. Dean will want to kill Sam and Sam will have to somehow break the hold the blade and the mark have on Dean to save himself from being killed by his own brother. That could be interesting too.
I'm eager to see what the long-term effects are on Dean. Now that he's gotten a taste of what the blade feels like...Magnus said he'd learn to love the feeling and even Cain himself said he relished the feel of the blade in his hand after he'd been apart from it for a while. I fear that each time Dean holds the blade that it will take control of him even more and soon it will be very difficult for that bond to be broken. Though we've seen Dean as a killing machine before (Live Free Or Twi-hard), so that could be pretty cool. :P
