I didn't dislike 10x20, actually. It wasn't a great ep, but I thought it brought some closure to the Novak story, and had some nice moments.
I didn't hate Claire in her previous ep, however, because while she made some terrifically awful choices, I could see how a teenager in her position could get there. And the point that I think a lot of people are sticking on didn't bother me as much, because I saw it as Dean telling Claire what he thought she needed to hear to find peace.
That's a part of Dean I remember from the early days, the one who tried to protect children and keep people out of hunting, and let them believe that some of their sacrifices had meaning, because he thought that's what people need to believe to live alongside the darkness, but without falling into it.
