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...)

But they constantly do this and I don't know why - why DID Sam take that first drink of demon blood - it's a huge step and why or why did he say yes to Lucifer? Just being absent from Dean doesn't cut it for me. I want to know, but I don't think I ever will and after a while it really gets me mad.
I would kill for some of those scenes to vid with...

I know exactly what you mean. The vid I'm working on is pretty long and I would am desperate for more "Sam after Dean's dead" footage. I think I've squeezed every possible shot out of "I know what you did last summer"!!
I always wonder that if we didn't have the writers strike last year, whether we would have had an episode to explore Sam's post trauma from Mystery Spot. I would like to think so... But knowing them probably not.
