For me, I have a bigger problem with the quality of the writing. I'm willing to follow the show where ever it takes us but sometimes the lines make me cringe and I wonder what happened to the writing of the first five- heck, four seasons. Jensen does pretty well, even with bad lines, he's just such a good actor that you don't mind them as much but the others suffer quite a bit.

I think it's the snark that gets me the most. I love snark but not stupid lines that are trying to pass as clever/snarky.

I actually could deal with Benny asking Dean to kill him. As much as I don't want Benny to die, I would prefer that to having him give in to his bloodlust. I would prefer Door #3 but if it's one or the other, I would prefer Benny asking Dean to send him back to Purgatory.
