This week, he seems to be allowing himself a bit of softness, almost as though he’s looking at the decorations everywhere and having tender thoughts about brotherly love, peace on earth, and good will to men, as long as they don’t touch his car. I guess I’m thinking this because of the expression on Dean’s face, those long lashes such a lovely frame to the shine in his eyes. Maybe he’s not thinking about leaving cookies out for Santa, or hay for his reindeer, or even making a last minute dash to Kmart for anything, but he’s thinking. About Christmas. About what it means. What it REALLY means. About spending it with Sam.
-It’s a weird flip for Dean under normal circumstances to be so sentimental, but he says it’s his last year, and he wants to have Christmas. The last wish of a dying man? Or the heart of gold we all knew was in there from the very beginning using this opportunity to create memories that will help him get through leaving the brother he loves so very much? And perhaps help Sam as well, when Dean is gone.
-Sam, stubborn thing that he is, normally corners the market on emo, and this week is no different. He doesn’t want anything to do with celebrating Christmas because not only have so many Christmases sucked, but also because this time next year Dean will be dead.
-Dean will be D-E-A-D and frankly, he doesn’t want to cover up the pain with any junky, over-commercialized holiday that was co-opted from the pagans by Christians many, many years ago and in oh so many not fun ways. I’m with you Sam. Some times there’s such a thing as too much sentimentality.
- There’s just two backs and two heads, each slightly inclined towards the other, and dammit, if Padalecki and Ackles don’t pull this off with such grace and dignity and style, and all without a word making me wish I could cover Sam and Dean with kisses.
-And really, it’s quite satisfying, that the amulet was given to him by Sam, who loves him more than anything or anyone in the universe, and I don’t think I’m exaggerating here. And maybe because Sam loves him so, the amulet protects him from being possessed.
- And in the way Sam says “Hey, Dean-” but leaves the rest of it unspoken, but which any fan could tell you is full of promises to save his brother. And there’s love in the simple silence of sitting there with the one you love best while the snow softly falls outside of windows where no wind can get through.
A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!!
And that part about building up good memories for both of them and the other one about Sam's love being the real power of the amulet ...well that is exactly what I think.

So in both cases I see it as a recognition of who Dean is.

Date: 2007-12-19 05:05 pm (UTC)yes I think the love they have for each other it's stronger than anything else and the fact that the amulet was a Sam's present makes everything just perfect :)

Date: 2007-12-20 12:50 am (UTC)I do believe the amulet already had some protection power before, especially because it came from Bobby, but I also like to think love makes it more powerful.
Someone left a really nice comment on my journal talking about John and Sam and Dean that goes really nice with this review.
*hugs* ♥
