After seeing their press conference today and hearing them talk about journalism and the plight of fellow journalists in Ethiopia, I admire them even more. Also, their friendship and loyalty to each other seems to be ( Read more... )

After that interview with Carver, I'm starting to have some serious Orpheus (Sam) and Eurydice (Dean) thoughts. Because what if not looking for Dean is how Sam gets him out of purgatory?
