When the Winchesters are in the Church and the priest is talking about the pictures or stained glass windows and the camera would pan to Dean as the priest was talking about Michael. After the episode aired, there was an interview with Sera Gamble about it and I think she pretty much came out and said yes it was about Dean.
Ah, okay. I don't recall being struck with "Oh, they're talking about Dean!" the first time I saw it, pre-S5. In retrospect, of course, it's obvious. Sera wrote that ep, didn't she? Interesting that she was comparing Dean to Michael even before angels were involved in the mytharc. Serendipity, I think it's called.
I think Dean has always loved and forgiven Sam, so that wasn't a lesson Dean needed to learn.
Love? I'd have to ask Kripke what show he thinks he's writing.
Forgive? That one I'll go along with. Back at the beginning of S5 when all of this was going down, I wrote extensively about Dean's need to forgive Sam. That it would take time, but that he needed to do that. I'd have to re-read my entries, but I think it was that Dean needed to forgive Sam, and Sam had to realize that it was going to take time and he was going to have to earn Dean's trust. They . . . never followed through with that quite to my satisfaction. I mean, I think they touched on it, but I wanted more.
I'm not overly impressed with what Kripke said, because what he (thinks he) wrote and what showed up on the screen are two different things. I'm apparently not watching the show he thinks he's writing. Or things aren't reading to me the way he thinks they are. Or something . . .
