but it mostly looks like Carver constructed a scenario where telling the truth had an excellent chance of succeeding ... but then couldn't allow them to do it because if he did there wouldn't be angst. Oh man, this. So much! This is exactly why I can't reconcile the Carver who wrote Mystery Spot or Point of No Return with the Carver who wrote Sacrifice and now the season opener. The one knew what nuances are and he knew how to build a story that is in itself consistent, the other, not so much. I cannot decide if the writers are just afraid of change - I mean, Gamble tried change and she was widely hated for it - or if they are just at their wits' end, creatively.
I really, really hope Ezekiel has an agenda I really hope that as well. Mainly because I do want Dean's choice here to have actual consequences, consequences that force him to question himself. If he is just validated for his trust in Ezekiel and Sam just retroactively agrees with his choice, I will be angry.
