Cause TV. But also cause we love him. And also cause when he is sick he relaxes his face, and that's gorgeous, and then he wears less, and he lets his mouth fall open, and his voice gets all raspy, and his hair is messy, and also he allows himself to be cared for, touched more - and is touched more by Dean - and he has fewer walls up, and it shows in the way he moves and the way he is softer with others Dean - knfdszkndsv.
Yes! The softness and the vulnerability is so beautiful. So are the gray t-shirts he's wearing all the time now. ;) And the bedhead is epic.
I really feel like the writers decided to sort of deeply fix some of the things about the boys' lives that need to be fixed. Over however long they'd get. So the good place to live, a way for Sam to be involved in "the life" but also study, the brothers approving of each other, a couple of times, even, having (chosen) family and someone to talk to in Charlie, the whole thing about light at the end of the tunnel and finding a way to happily live together which I and still all set to start jumping around about (but fg is sleeping) - and now this.
It does seem like the writers decided to break out of some of the show's more punishing feedback loops of pain, which is a relief. On the other hand, I'm a little afraid that they only gave us the batcave so that we'd learn to love it before they burned it down, and Sam would be forced to learn yet again that there is no middle road. I hope I'm wrong.
I love that interpretation. Gotta admit, though, that I felt it differently. To me it was more like - The season started, and everything was bleak and horrible, Dean/Jensen looked bummed out *all the time*, even in Jensen's behind the scenes interviews, and I thought I'd fallen in love with the show just in time to watch it die painfully. And then came the last scene of 810, and somehow the world flipped, the show flipped, it's just completely different. Thankfully.
See, Dean seemed different to me from 8.01 on. He's very warm with Benny all along, and he seems more understanding with the people of the week--he's sympathetic with the old woman who'd married the Aztec god, and he was willing to let the werewolf girl go, as opposed to his reaction to Amy last season. And when Cas came back Dean got him to talk about his feelings in 8.08, which isn't necessarily a very Dean thing to do. Plus, the heavy drinking had stopped.
The last scene of 8.10 actually broke my heart when it aired. The two of them seemed like a married couple who're only staying together because they don't have the energy for a divorce. I found 8.11 and what came after sort of whiplash inducing because it didn't feel to me like a natural progression of their relationship, but I'm so happy about the positivity of the second half of the season that I'm willing to let it go.
