Erm, now I don't remember which icon I used...I hate when that happens. I mostly deleted that other comment, cuz I was at work and feeling guilty and didn't have enough time to edit out the parts I didn't want to be quoted on, but I meant all of it.
We know Sam does the research. It's his thing, and he was working out as they went, here, too. He had books and laptop open throughout the epi, was doing the thumbnail bite, so it wasn't the type of thing that either of them just knew. And it shouldn't have surprised anyone that he was the one willing to buckle down and do the research. That's what he does.
Dean didn't look dumb at all. He just wasn't reading the books. Reading over little brothers' shoulders is rude. LOL. He pulls plenty of stuff out of his ear over the course of hunts, has a more peripheral intelligence, and it would be awkward to have him showing up Sam on mythology unless it pertained to something he'd hunted and Sam hadn't.
And I don't mind if they only ever call Bobby. They still have that whole stigma attached to them, because John gave YED the key to open the gate. They don't know who their friends are, but they know some people blame them for the gate opening and some still think Sam is one of the things they need to be hunting. I think it's wise to call on old faithful and let him help them out.
The whole idea that they have this huge support system in place has always felt and read like crap to me. Their isolation is what makes them so in tuned to each other. If they had so many other people to rely on, then their relationship wouldn't be as strong as it is. I like them going to each other, not calling up one of a bunch of other people who supposedly "get" them.
And we don't know they haven't mixed blood since then. I mean, they were both bleeding at the end of Fresh Blood, and I can't imagine they didn't get any on each other. I think if TPTB wrote it into an episode that they accidentally mixed blood and then something whammy happened, they'd be eating a lot of crow trying to explain how it is the get bloodied up all the time and never did it before.
And yeah, I didn't like that kid the first time either, and not much better this time, but he did have some of the mannerisms. Hard for a kid that age who has no real connection to the character. My biggest qualm with him is his looks, and apieceofcake posted a header that had both Dean and the kid on it, and it was kinda scary how much alike they looked. Hmmm...
I've had issues with lots of things this season, but it's things here and there, not the whole show or a whole epi, though Sin City was pretty pointless as far as I'm concerned. LOL.
Anyway, show is made of win. *pets my broken boys*
