I didn't realise that TPTB have actually said that the first half is Dean-focused. That's cool.
I actually agree with everything you've said here. I can understand Sam completely if it turns out that he didn't actually look for Dean at some point (which I totally believe is true). After reading zimshan's meta before the season started I was in an amazingly zen place in regards to why Sam didn't look for Dean. It all makes wonderful sense.
I think I just want the Show to give us some of this. We have been amazing at giving Sam all the reasons (and i know they could easily exist for his character) but I am hoping, at some point, they give us their reasons for Sam not looking. I'm not sure I'll even care what they are....as long as there's something and we're not left to filling in the gaps.
Sam's still just the little brother who can't make decisions for himself and has to follow in his big brother's footsteps.
I think it will be really interesting if they explore this some more. They mentioned it a few times in the past (most notably Dean telling Sam he's grown up and can look after himself).
I too have been really enjoying the season but for some reason that last ep (and mostly this post was trying to come to grips with it) turned everything about and gave me a new perspective on things.
And the Benny thing is completely interesting. I have this awful fear that Sam will kill him and then...jeez...the angst that will come off the back of that...*rubs hands* (I think!)
I want it to happen faster too. If I had the patience I would wait until the season was over. NO WAY I have the patience for that. <33
(Oh and I am 1 of 4 also .I am also the eldest. And I have a younger sister by 3 years who attracts drama like it's going out of fashion *g*)
