eisht... and I flippin' enjoyed it ...It's 3.15 here so I won't say much but ...
*unpopular opinion and spoilers under the cut*
I don't think Sam's break from hunting was out of character at all. He was in shock and lost the only thing anchoring him to the hunting life - Dean - and he did what he's done before - he gave up. He gave up the life when he ran away to Flagstaff, he gave up the life when he ran away to Stanford. He gave up Stanford by running away with Dean. If he hadn't had Ruby in S6 he would have let himself die, and as for learning - look how the Ruby thing worked out :( This time he didn't look for dangerous solutions and he didn't take revenge (remember Bobby's plea about that) He took the only familiar thing to him (Baby) and ran away again.
Sam deals with stress differently from Dean and he was completely and utterly broken at the end of S7. Yes Dean was butt hurt about it, yes that's understandable but I actually stand totally with Sam and surprisingly, with the writers on this. No doubt we will find out more of Sam's story - but really, remember S7 reactions before Sam's soullessness was discovered. It is WAY too early to judge the full details of either of the boys' year out.
In other news .... There simply had to be some aspect of baby's upkeep that Dean would comment on :) Kevin has turned badass, Benny is a great mystery, Dean's reaction to his burger was fab, and I'm really not sure about Amelia - not enough there to see.
Oh and it's 3.30 and I have work in the morning so ...off I go.
Edit on 4th Oct: So with a change in livestream early on I missed this part and rewatching it now, I want to hug Sammy - I know this is crap quality screencaps - but it's about how I was feeling - did anyone else find themselves making this comparison and breaking their heart a bit more? ..

Date: 2012-10-05 02:36 am (UTC)I liked Dean's storyline in Purgatory (of what I saw - missed a lot because of changing livestream too), and I liked Benny, looking forward to his part in this season. I thought Dean was kinda cold to Sam, even his hug was fraught with angstiness. I loved when Sam bought Dean the hamburger!
Amelia must have been really written for us to hate her, or just written badly. She was just so offputting.
I have to wait until Sunday to actually see it on my big screen, so any opinion I have now may be modified but most likely confirmed.
