Unemployment sucks, I have been there. :/ I hope you can find something soon!
I can buy in to your explanation about the Easter Bunny. :) I do love Sam's unfailing optimism, in spite of all of the horrors that he's seen. It does make you wonder what finally changed his mind there, though...or why it took Dean three years to go, "Okay kiddo, I hate to do this to you, but we need to talk about the Easter Bunny." Haha. Maybe he felt bad for stealing Santa from him and wanted to let him have something to believe in. ;)
"I really think, if they're going to have a satisfactory story-arc, that Sam HAS to save Dean. That being said, I am hoping that part of that saving DOES involve getting Dean to have better self-esteem." I'm with you. Dean's self-worth has been a factor since season 1, and I love how it continues to be a factor ten years later. Those are issues you don't get over without facing them head-on. (Though I think he'll probably fight that one out until the end of the series, just because it creates all kinds of interesting conflict.) I would love to see some kind of inverted parallel of the finale of 8, where Sam is suffering from feeling "unclean," like a burden, like a screw-up, and Dean steps up and sets the record straight (which effectively saves Sam's life). Let us see Sam do that for Dean! Sam has said that he believes in Dean, and I know that he does. Now I just want to see that play out in dramatic SPN fashion. ;)
JARED working with Dylan! That's so great. I would have assumed that Jared pranked the poor kid six ways from Sunday, but I guess they're usually pretty nice to guest stars - but now that he's been on the show twice, he should keep an eye out in the event that they have him back again (which I hope they will!).
