#the fact that dean's constant readiness to die for sam even slightly confuses sam??? inconceivable.... yeah.... not really :/

Does anyone else ever get really caught up thinking about how in the very first episode, there's a scene where Sam dives off of a bridge to duck out of the way of an incoming possessed Impala charging at him and Dean? And Sam's limber and youthfully agile, and deftly maneuvers onto a ledge, and it's clear he'd planned on doing that. That he'd mentally calculated that, before taking the spiraling leap. But Dean just saw Sam jump, and then jumped right after him. And a woman literally committed suicide springing herself from that bridge, so presumedly, it was one nasty tumble of a fall that had the potential to be fatal had Dean not been so robust (or likely practiced in falling). But Dean just hauls his mud-soaked body to shore and hollers up to Sam that he's okay. And walks it off like the champ he is with a pain tolerance only seconded by that legendary heavyweight liver. Like. It was the very first episode. The writers did that. In the pilot.

They literally said, "If Sam jumped off a bridge, Dean would jump right on after him without a second thought." And they really set the tone for the rest of the show with that one scene, didn't they?
