I'm actually weirdly OK with that, as I was also OK with Sam and Dean being kinda sorta reconciled in s5 long before they approached real reconciliation, because I think it's true to my experience. People in intimate relationships do often stay together without really dealing with even major, major issues, out of habit or love or fear of change or even a form of resentment. Maybe I just have unusually unhealthy relationships, but in my experience the paper it over with a messy not-really-dealing and go on pattern is more common than the get at the root of issues and establish what needs to change to have something healthier pattern.

Of course, that means that five years later a 30 yo friendship may blow up forever over what looks like a tiny, trivial incident. I'm not saying that Sam and Dean back in harness after a scant couple of episodes, as seems likely, doesn't leave me with an ominous and depressing view of their future.
