the deans death is easily one of, if not the dumbest and most pointless deaths i have ever seen in all the series i read.
considering all the talking and shit they easily had 3-5 minutes, that shit is comparable to a time bomb with 5 minutes on the countdown and a bug red button with clear text saying ON/OFF, and you, in your infinite wisdom choose to grab the bomb and run away with it until it explodes instead of just very simply pushing the damn button.
oh, and also, how exactly was that pathetic fly fart of a explosion supposed to do any damage at all to anything?
these guys is supposed to be oh so powerful and intelligent, yet they dont know how to deal with just about the most primitive form of bombs to have ever existed.
and sure, this series was already pretty stupid to begin with, but this? this is a whole other level of stupidity.
