SPN questions that have been bugging me...

ash48and so I wondered if my knowledgeable flist could shed any light...
1. Was the demon in Croatoan (Duane Tanner) Meg? I admit to never thinking it was but I've come to realise that others think it is....?
2. When Ruby told Sam "You didn't need the feather to fly, you had it in you the whole time Dumbo", she's referring to Sam not needing the blood to be able to exorcise Demons yeah? So if that's the case why does Sam run out of "juice" when exorcising Demons? As in he wasn't able to exorcise Ruby after getting rid on Lilith. Is it because he is mentally exhausted? Spent his mental energies? Did he only think he needed blood in order to use his special skills. If so, does than mean he could actually exorcise demons now (and in S5) and doesn't because it would betray Dean's trust and just be too "darkside"? I'm thinking yes. But would he be able to without the connection to blood.... Hmmmm...
and finally (and this is because I am getting all wooby because I am in the middle of making a Sam vid and it's breaking me heart just a little...).
Why is Dean so hard on Sam with the choices he made after his death? I suppose that's rhetorical, because I know Dean has issues he's dealing with as well (and Sam choosing Ruby over himself cut to the core), but Dean copped out after Sam's death. He didn't want to live with the pain of grief. He couldn't live without Sam, so he bought him back.
Yet Sam had to suffer the terrible grief of losing Dean. He didn't have an out like Dean did. Now, sure Sam made some bad choices, but holy crap. I think Dean making a deal with a demon was a pretty bad choice as well. So yeah, cut your little bro some slack Dean. He was hurting mighty bad and the choices at the time helped him survive. Don't forget, you chose not to live with those feelings.....
(And that last one isn't really a question, just a rant. I know the way each of them have handled each others death is the whole point (well mostly) of S3 to S5. And I love it really! Just thinky thoughts...)

3. Dean is projecting his own anger onto Sam. Anger that he failed, and left Sam, Anger at himself that he caused Sam all that pain. And something else about being faced with how important he is to Sam. How much easier for Dean if he came back and Sam was leading a happy life. See, Dean could think - I am worthless and even Sam doesn't need me.
oooh new vid!

Ah. I thought that was because he didn't swallow any. Though I also think he might have made a deliberate choice not to "hulk out" to prove to the other hunters and to himself that he could control it. Maybe. Though he may have ended up swallowing some and spitting out what he could was an act of defiance.... Hmmm. Curious.
Dean is projecting his own anger onto Sam.
Yes. I can believe that. Dean failed Sam in so many ways and his self worth issues effect his emotions Though it's interesting to ponder that if Dean did come back to a happy, contented Sam how he may see that as Sam not needing him at all. The fact that he is a mess should make Dean see that Sam truly needs him - and in fact S4 played that out I think.
And yes... new vid... if I can just reconcile the images and the lyrics....
