Thank you! :) You can call me Chris if you like! I read your review as well and was happy to see that we are very much thinking the same!
(...)partially to attempt to desensitize Sam to the grief of it by making it an accepted thing.
I was thinking the same thing, plus I also think he needs Sam to realise that he won't be there forever and that Sam needs to learn to be independent from him. It is just that one scene in the store that made me feel uncomfortable with the way he delivered the blow so bluntly. The only time where he deliberately openly hurt Sam in a similar fashion that I can think of is in ELAC, when he tells Sam he's doing "too little, too late." It's so rare that he lashes out that much at Sam and he is usually very distressed if he does so. But yeah, I think he'll drop that constant reminding soon enough.
About Ruby: I don't know. A lot of people enjoyed the mystery that she brought in, I just was annoyed by it. Mainly because she and her knife were so terribly convenient. I found the 7 deadly sins a great idea and I was very disappointed by the way they weaseled their way out of coming up with an original way to deal with them. Plus her 'I'm the girl that just saved your ass' is the worst possible way for me to introduce her, it's so corny and lame. I reserve my full judgement on her as a character to when we know more about her. At the moment I am weary though.
