He also seemed to me very, very sad. It's like...I was laughing and creeped out, and it took me a bit to pin it down, but it was like...well, this is going to sound crazy, but he reminded me of the 9th Doctor. The crazy abandon of people who've lost everything and don't care any more. The underlying and absolute despair.
And it was as wrong and twisted as Dean's becoming the ends-justify-the-means guy, but it cut deeper, I think. We've seen Dean broken enough that while it stings, it wasn't quite as unnerving, just straight up sad.
Also: I've never really gotten the fandom obsession with hugging...my reaction was always along the lines of, "well, they don't seem the huggy type, so whatever." No so this time. Towards the end, I was basically shouting "now hug him! hug him!". Because seriously, there should have been some hugging. Especially with the expression on Sam's face.
Also: Chuck. <3. My love for him continues to have no bounds.
