I had to tell you--I'd read that you said that 9.01 was ridiculous, which had me rather worried, especially as I'd just come back around to loving Show again and I REALLY didn't want that to go away again .... So then I dreamed that I watched the episode, in which Sam sang a Pearl Jam song (and Jared sounded just like Eddie!) to express his feelings, and Dean sang a butt-rock song that was really, really bad to express HIS feelings, and it was horribly embarrassing by proxy and UNDOUBTEDLY RIDICULOUS but on another level somehow it worked. I woke up and laughed my butt off ... and was extremely relieved when no one broke into song in the ep.
That said, after coming around in my way to getting where they're going with Show, it didn't seem shocking or ridiculous to me at all--it was pretty much all I expected, in fact--so I am most curious as to why you found it so. PLEASE DO TELL.
Ah, the Dean h/c, yes. I poked around your comment meme on hoodie_time and had a look at the prompts. It made me realize that though I do enjoy hurt!Dean and write it myself not infrequently, I seem to enjoy it on a completely different level than true Dean h/cers like yourself and the folk over at hoodie_time. Import, hm ....
I guess I like it when Dean is forced to see that he's not all-powerful and yet the bastard still refuses to see it. He will die before admitting he has any weaknesses, and I just love him so much for it, as stupid and short-sighted as it is. And see, I didn't find his agony over lying to Sam as satisfying as I wanted to, maybe because he really didn't have any choice other than to do what he did, and what he's suffering over is still amorphous and hasn't yet developed into a thing he should rightly freak out over, THOUGH YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO. (Lucifer much? I'm thinking it's Lucifer in another vessel. But who knows. :-D Whoever it is, I'm going to enjoy whatever happens with it! Secret!angel in Sam.)
There WAS one prompt in the comment meme that inspired me, but probably just because I enjoy writing amnesia stories, but no one had filled it or even commented that they liked it (which I suppose I should go do). Maybe I'll come around to writing that thing one of these days, but it'll be a long time from now, I expect, and the prompter would be like, wtf?? :-D
