Dean in a coma, Sam at his bedside ... and I don't even get a quiver of heart-flippiness, because we've been here so many times before.
Yeah, that. Also, it's just not the same anymore, is it? With the Sam keeps lying to Dean and thinking him weak; with the way Dean has pulled away because the little brother he has isn't the little brother he wants. I'm sure they still love each other, always will, but do they still depend on each other like they used to? Look to each other for support. I think not.
Apart from that, I'm still not sure I can stomach a show that seems to think that torture can be justified. At least in SGA, the characters confessed to feeling bad about it afterwards, which was pretty much its saving grace for me (though it still doesn't excuse anything). But this? "Torture is bad because it makes Dead feel broken, so Sam should be the one doing it" is seriously the wrong message.
