Beyond Selidor

Yeah, I agree with you completely (and you weren't the person I meant when saying that people thought Dean's actions were out of character). That's actually something I'd never thought of. Because the show is such a road movie (or rather road TV series), the characters have no safe place to which they can return: no Sunnydale High library, no Serenity, no house in Bristol (as in Being Human) and no camp in Sherwood Forest (as in Robin Hood).

They do have the Impala, though...

In some ways, while he thinks this is what he wants, it is the antithesis of a happy ending as it represents the end of the life he and Sam have lead.

Oh, absolutely.
