On personality responsibility and culpability

Sep 21, 2009 08:08

( Just a quick note on a theme I didn't much touch on in my last meta, there's one thing that unifies the Winchesters and sets them aside as the protagonists of this story in a way that no other characters are able to touch: Sam and Dean have accepted (and embraced!) their own personal responsibility for what has happened. )

So much to comment on... First, let me say I enjoyed and largely agree with your comments on responsibility and culpability. And I'd love to join in the discussion of your thoughts ( ... )

Pooh, LJ wouldn't take the rest of this so here is Part 2 ( ... )

Yup, total agreement with you on Dean's memories. I think that the mental block keeping his memories was starting to fail, hence the implication that he wasn't sleeping well and his continuing micro-flashbacks, but I definitely believe that it wasn't until YF that he got them all back. I like your description of it too - a flood instead of a trickle and just as traumatic.

Lengthy is nothing to complain about! *g* If it was, I'd be in real trouble because I can't be pithy to save my life.

You're totally welcome! The more the merrier and all that ( ... )
