... and I didn't even say that right, because it's not really about whether Dean loves Sam more than Sam loved Jess or... any weirdo permutations thereof, it's about how Sam feels about his life after Jess, and what Dean's life would be like without Sam. I suspected at first -- and I think Sam still does -- that John Winchester views his hunt as having a solitary goal, an end point, and after he's found whatever killed his wife, nothing after that matters. ("Home" and "Asylum" made me think harder about John's relationship to his sons and I'm not sure where my head's landed yet. Possibly I'm up in the air about this until we get new episodes.) But I don't think Sam feels that way; he's clearly on the warpath now, and I think he's realizing once it's over he can't exactly just go back to Stanford, but I think he still believes he'll have some kind of a life after all this is over.
So... (good lord, could this be more convulted?) the question is whether Sam feels Dean could live after his death, or just exist until he got whatever got Sam and then just stop?
