"It's Psych 101 stuff here, and it's been frustrating at times because Supernatural clings to that bromance mask with cold, dead, zombie hands. It is one of those tropes that the series has built its identity around that maybe, if the show had ended after Season 5's 'Swan Song,' we could have overlooked. But it gets harder and harder to ignore with each season."
