Actually, I think not. I mean, remember Faith? He would have killed Roy, too, without further proof :-p
He was a hell of angry at his healing and thought Roy was the culprit so yes, he was all gung-ho about going and killing him. But would he have actually pulled through and marched up to a blind man and killed him just like that? Wanting and doing things are pretty different and Sam could talk him out of it rather easily.
This time he didn`t seem bothered by killing at all - which I find inconsistent with Dean`s character. He looked for all the world like: "who can I shoot next?" I mean he didn`t even shoot to incapacitate them. He pumped them full of bullets like a cold-blooded maniac. It was like he channeled Gordon.
I think it's funny how before the season started you feared Dean would only be a bystander, and now it's Sam :-)
Dean certainly has been given a lot of focus this Season so far and up until this episode I didn`t have a problem with his characterization. I still hope he won`t be a bystander in the Demon storyline though and that they won`t use Dean as a negative example of how not to be, to make their points.
Weird thing is, popular belief has it Sam is gonna go dark/evil or whatever and Dean will have to bring him back/stop him. Right now though it would make sense to go the other way around. I mean Dean is the one with blood on his hands - and his face as seen in Bloodlust while Sam makes large puppy dog eyes. If I were evil!Sam and Dean would try to stop with some moral speech me I`d laugh my ass off.
But I don`t want to bring down your squee. I just was rather disappointed with this episode. And the ratings. :(
