Ha! I just this second posted this comment on Ash48's post, then came back to my feed and saw yours!

> I concur with everything you say about the episode, including Dean's death. It was fitting that it was just an ordinary hunt. That was always the true vocation: saving people, hunting things, the family business. As for the rest (whatever the plural of apocalypse is) they were just epic distractions that their enemies threw in their paths to keep them from doing their true work. Dean died doing what he loved. It was fitting, too, that no monster could claim a victory over him: the vampire didn't really kill him, his death was almost accidental. But those that complained it wasn't heroic really miss the point, I think. Dean died on his feet, with a spike rammed through him. And all through his speech to Sam he was in abject agony, but he kept fighting, to stay alive long enough so he could tell Sam how he truly felt. Expressing his true feelings was always Dean's greatest battle, and it was wonderful to see he'd grown to the point where he finally won that battle. <

Also, from a filming point of view, I think they wanted Dean on his feet so they could re-create two memorable scenes: the pilot scene where Dean said "I can't do this alone" and his final speech to Sam in season 3 where he made Sam promise to let him go, but this time Sam would keep that promise.
