I know, and I hope, hope, HOPE that you're right. Actually, this show certainly knows how to cater to the fans, and fans want Sam and Dean together (some a little more than others :) ). So you're probably right, in the long run, they'll be together.

I honestly expected tonight that Sam wouldn't let Dean out of his sight after everything, so when Sam went after the demons and left sleeping Dean alone, I yelled at my TV.

And why was Dean so reluctant to take out three demons in the diner who were afraid of him? Leftover hell trama? A show about two demon hunters where one of them is afraid of demons could be interesting.

...I wanna watch it again. The more I think of it, the more I liked it.
