While I didn't have a problem with Dean shutting Sam down in the flashback, it did seem a little over-the-top in that I think there *must* have been times when Dean did open up and talk about Mary. To Sam, "mom" is an intellectual concept and not anything to which he connects emotionally, so I wanted to explore that part of Dean that helped him connect to a "mom" in theory, through Dean's filter.
