I hope you don't mind my continuing this conversation, but I didn't want not to answer. *g* Feel free to ignore. As I said in the other comment, I answered here before I'd read your other post.
I'm not shifting loyalties away from Dean--he's still my favorite. My problem is that how he's portrayed on the show now is as a character I can't like any more. I'm sorry to say that, but it's true. It's Dean saying and doing those things that I dislike and being a type of character that I would never have liked if this was who he was in seasons 1 and 2.
andromakhe001 mentioned that Dean didn't used to fit the stereotype of who he seemed to be in the beginning (except she phrased it much better than that *g*), and that's why I loved him. Now he does seem to fit that stereotype. Even if they backtrack on this, I'm going to have problems with it, because those episodes still exist in canon. I doubt they will backtrack on this, though.
All of this pains me and makes me sad because it makes me like Dean, Sam, and the show overall much less.
I did like him in Bedtime Stories, though, except for that one comment. I think all of this is out of character for Dean, but it is rather odd that people are hating on Dean for that one comment (which was pretty bad) and not for the rest?
I still love Dean, but not Season 3!Dean. I felt the same way about Daniel Jackson in season 10 of Stargate. I didn't shift loyalties to another character. Eventually I had to stop watching the show--after 9 1/2 seasons. I just couldn't take it any more.
I have no interest in Bela one way or another--it makes no difference to me how she's portrayed or how she interacts with the guys. I'm just not interested.
I actually dislike the way it seems she'll be portrayed in this particular episode, because I bet they're going to have Dean save her and she'll be showing her "vulnerable" side and then we're supposed to feel sorry for her and start to like her, but it's already too late. She shot Sam. End of story for me, and it should be for Dean, too. *g*
