I am reading that there's a lot of Sam character bashing today. (Luckily, I haven't read it just heard about it..)

Why? What has he done wrong now? I mean seriously? WTF??



Oh. Is it because he's been lying to Dean? Manipulating Dean? Using Dean as bait since the get go? Not caring about victims? Unsympathetic? Unheroic? Didn't accept the keys to the Impala? Smirked when Dean was turned? Paid for sex? Smirked when he first saw Dean after a year? Didn't tell Dean he was back from the dead? Sided with the Campbells? Continually gave lip service in just about everything he said in that last episode? (and each episode proceeding it)..

Yeah.. because that makes sense. That all sounds EXACTLY like Sam.

HELLO??!! Clearly NOT SAM... Jeez.... how many more friggin' clues (and anvils) do they need to drop?!

This is the whole POINT! If anyone thinks Sam is in any way capable of the above actions then the Sam they know is not the Sam I know. Wow... after 5 seasons I think it would be pretty darn clear what kind of person Sam is.

Oh ...oops, that's right. He left Dean for college. He wanted out of the hunting life. Damn I forgot. Sam is totally all of those things. Silly me.

*sheesh* Ok. I got worked up... needed to rant and I figure my own journal is the best place to do it.

At least that way you can ignore it.



This is why I don't go anywhere else other than LJ when reading discussion posts. I think I'd probably BURST something if I actually read it. I like my little safe, sane haven and awesome, sensible flist. And I am totally up for someone telling me (in a non bashing way of course) if there's a Sam they are seeing that I've totally missed here. Totally fascinated by that...

*breathe Sarah, stay calm...*g**

I'm so with you here. But then, I've never really got the Sam-bashing, because all the way through, even in his 'worst' moments, what Sam has done has made sense to me (that's not necessarily to say that I always think he's made the right choices, but I've always been able to see why he's done what he's done).

For the record, I'm really enjoying this season so far. I'm loving the exploration of what Sam-the-hunter could be if you took away the emotions and ran on cold, hard logic alone.

Yes. Yes to all this.

That's the thing that is SO interesting. What happens to Sam when you take away his empathy. His soul. His inner self. He becomes a monster. The monster he always feared he'd be.

I find this fascinating. I am fascinated by the Sam we are seeing.

I have no doubt they will be together again.

And yeah - I've been with Sam all the way. Even when it killed me.
