Yeah, I do think it was a bit of a waste of budget if the whole point was to show us where Dean was. So, I maintain my theory that he's not actually in hell. You know, per se.

omg, words of truth you speak. I mean, I get randomly depressed because Dean is dead and man, that is wrong on so many levels. Whatever people might say about this season, whatever I might say about this season, I am worried for the future like never before, season one I knew John would die, it just made sense (clearly the punch was how he died, why), season two I thought they'd get Dean out of his deal somehow, they didn't but that's okay because as the season progressed I realized that there was a point for Dean going to hell.

But now, I know they'll get Dean out and bring him back, I just don't know what will happen afterward. I can't even theorize properly, the shock of Dean dead is still to fresh.

Worst part? Or maybe the best, depends on how you see it, is that I can't really bring myself to feel pathetic or lessened in any form for caring so much for fictional characters. Oh, show.
