I like this episode a lot. And I love the actor that portrayed older Dean. I thought he did an amazing job getting Dean's mannerisms down, like his speech patterns and inflections. It was a great performance, in my opinion.

Love your analysis, as always. This episode to me really showcased how much better Sam is at compartmentalizing his feelings, and it was nice to see this strength of his highlighted.

Ryan

He was a regular guest star in '60s and '70s cop shows.

Love the reaction!!! I wanted to respond to something you said, because it's something I have heard a lot of people say about Dean. A lot of people will praise Dean for moments like in this episode where he talks to others in a kind and loving manner about their feelings or what they are going through. And they will remark that is growth on his part. But I have always disagreed. I think Dean is terrible about talking about himself and his needs. He gets avoidant and angry when he is dealing with something. But I don't believe he is the same with others. Even back in the beginning of season 1, he was trying to get Sam to talk him about Jess's death. He tried to help him through it. Even if his methods weren't always the recommendation a therapist would give, he was always ready to listen. And even here with Bobby it's not really great advice, he is just telling him that he needs him and he needs him to keep fighting. He isn't really recommending anything to help Bobby feel better. And it makes sense, because Dean doesn't know how to deal with things. He never learned that as a child. Ultimately, I believe Dean is a highly emotional individual who has be trained from the time he was 4 to stay strong, push his feelings down, and keep moving forward. But he was also taught to be a caretaker. So, I know a lot of people see this stuff as growth, but I just see a core part of who he is in action. I'm curious if anyone else sees it that way, because I almost always hear your POV.
