Honestly, I didn't like the way they handled Dean's hell stay. That's all. *handwave* It just poured on TOO MUCH, you know? Dean of Season 2 was the most beautifully broken boy I've ever seen in any fandom, ever, but I just don't believe he comes out of years in hell still recognizably himself, much less as well-adjusted as he is. I was squeefully in love with the early season, what with the casting of Castiel, and then that plot twist was like falling off a cliff. I just stopped believing in the character.
But we'll always have Season 2!!!
(Honestly, it's kind of like Ronon- I love him as a character all to itty bitty pieces, but I have a really hard time actually believing in his backstory and also in what a basically well-adjusted, happy guy he ended up only a short year later. So I don't think about it too hard, which I can get away with because he isn't the central character)

Well, you seem to be doing a good job of overcoming your inhibitions so far!
