dangermousieBtw, saw "Nightmares" and now Sam owns my soul too. Guuuuh. How much do I love both of them? Sam is just such a good person, a genuinely nice guy. Watch him try to save Max even though he is unsavable, watch him try to talk and help, and now he has severe issues, and those uncontrollable powers and nightmares (and what is that mother-killing demon after, anyway?) and he moved things through telekenesis to save his brother and OMG. Sam OWNS me. Goodness+sweetness of spirit+competence+angst=I am so there.
It's interesting to me that Dean is so ready to kill Max and Sam is the one who wants to save him. Sam is more idealistic and open hearted of the two. Not that Dean isn't good and willing to lay his life on the line for strangers (watch him tell Max that to kill Stepmom, Max would have to go through him, with the gun pointing at him point blank). But Dean always fixates on the victim of the scenario, not as prone to random pity for the bad guys. Probably because he's been doing it longer.
And yeah, he is freaking out about Sam's new abilities and issues, but he doesn't want to deal with it and is denying it will ever recur, and anyway, protecting the little brother always comes first. I love that when Sam, worried he'd become like Max (never, you are too decently nice and nicely decent) asks how does Dean know he won't, Dean replies that it's because Sam has one advantage Max doesn't. And when Sam goes "Dad? But Dad isn't even here," Dean smiles at him and says, quite jokingly and very gently: "No, me. As long as I am around, nothing bad's going to happen to you." And this is so Dean who was probably been the care-taker since childhood. And then he deflects everything with a joke about Vegas, in that way Dean always deflects, but then when Sam can't see him and he can let his guard down, you can see how freaked and worried he is. But he won't ever let Sam know that, because caring for baby brother comes first. Yay.
