Yeah, that's the thing, you bring Reapers into the mix too much, you have to figure out what the heck Death is up to at this point. Maybe he's the sole guy going around making sure everyone dies. :P
I figure Dean must still have some sense in him and he knew that he couldn't kill members of Cas' army and not have it be a bit of a bone of contention between him and Cas - not to mention that it wouldn't help his innocence plea. I think the "struggle" was more that he didn't want to be tied up.
The part that really hit me and that I'm surprised not to see mentioned in the reviews I've read so far is Dean's speech to Tessa that even at his lowest he's never felt suicidal. Really--could have fooled me...season 4...5...7...8...
Dude, even in S2, Dean chose to die with Sam in Croatoan rather than potentially live without him. You can't tell me that's not a form of being suicidal. He's basically saying that the ONLY reason he's not killing himself is because Sam's alive.
And the finale is being preempted in Chicago for baseball and not being broadcast until SATURDAY!!!
I know! I usually watch it on that channel too! Luckily, I can get it on a local station at 9pm. But GEEZ... maybe you can watch it on livestream? the positively_spn comm posts streaming links a half hour before the episode airs.
