It has been remarkably slow progress, especially considering Sam's willingness from the beginning to take responsibility for screwing up.
It's been really fuzzy about what Dean's main hangup has been - in "Sympathy for the Devil," it was implied that it was Sam breaking the final seal - which I always thought was GROSSLY unfair, considering that 1) Dean wanted to kill Lilith also and 2) Dean broke the FIRST seal. His fury at Sam choosing Ruby over him is much more understandable and logical in view of their relationship. I also think it's the ultimate "Sammy sin" in Dean's book and would be the one he'd have the most difficulty overcoming.
But, progress has been a snail's pace, and mostly we've seen ADDITIONAL TEARING down, rather than much healing. It definitely seems to be two steps BACKWARD for every one they take in the right direction.
With a season six in the offing, I REALLY want to see a return to something a bit lighter and less angsty - I mean, they've always been angsty, but early on they had a lot more fun with each other. The story arcs have been epic, but it's WOW - exhausting!
