Huh. For me it's Dean that I'm having a harder time with. Maybe because the things that are bothering me about Dean are actually things that have come up for me before with canon Dean; a lot of the bad Sam stuff I can't quite take seriously because it doesn't feel rooted in the character to me. I think I've finally managed to meta myself into a place where I am more or less at peace with both, but I'm tired of having so damn much heavy lifting to do just to not feel that I'm supposed to be engaged in watching two people I don't like very much eventually reconstruct a toxic relationship.
Dean seems pretty basic Dean to me, this season. I don't have an issue with it except that I think (I'm a killer/Sammy doesn't love me) is not all that interesting in its 8th season. I would have preferred perhaps a darker, more ruthless Dean. The Dean we saw killing Amy, in fact. (For example, what if Dean had taken the old lady's head off--the one who stood by while her husband murdered people every year?)
Then again, maybe it would have been the soulless Sam babysitting scenario again. Dunno.
