Lack of Sam wouldn't have been so horrible if it hadn't been preceeded by Kripke forgetting that Sam was John's son, too, in season 2 - and for dropping his psykid sl faster than you can say sasquatch. Then Sam's sl in season 3 was dropped altogether for Dean's Deal, then Dean goes to Hell at the end of it. Sam doesn't get to save Dean, like he was originally supposed to. Then he gets shoved aside for all of Dean's new angel friends, making SPN into Charmed 2.0 instead of a real horror show. It was hugely disappointing to see Sam set aside for major Dean time and emo episode after episode. I am now bored with Dean, I've discovered in the season 4 finale. He never truly changes or does anything wrong that isn't woobified to the maximum and apologized for within that very episode. He gets the big speeches that say nothing, the funny lines that I don't find funny, and rerun scenes of him crying and emoting from season 2 (like, exact replicas of season 2). I still like Dean; I just find him less and less interesting. Shoving Sam aside is hurting Dean's character, too, because he's getting oversaturated with the same scenes and issues - they don't change! Meanwhile, Sam is mistreated, abused and neglected, on such a regular basis that I'm surprised there isn't a Social Services network for abused tv characters. He totally needs a rescue. |

That's exactly what I've always said about Sam going darkside: I could live with it, really, I think it would be an awesome chance for JP to show his talent. (Althogh I have the feeling that after a scene with bad!Sam going up against holy!Dean everything we would be hearing from fans and EK alike would be just how awesome Jensen managed to pull of the wounded-look and did you see him add that limp to his step when he crawled out of the door... )BUT I would want to SEE how Sam changed, I would want to SEE character-development, to see him struggle with his decisions, with his doubts about what's wrong or right, his breaking-point, his downfall... I would want to understand him going there (even if it was just for the power as such and because he felt he had control over his life if he accepted them). Sam is one of TWO leading characters, for God's sake, you can't just turn him into a monster (or a blood-sucking vampire) in two episodes and expect people to like that. Sam and his demon-blood addiction was a joke. It was a plot-device, nothing more. Not because I didn't like this plot-twist as such but because of how they showed it, how little we got to see inside Sam's head about it. And that's what I'm really angry about, not the fact that he was desperate enough to go there but because the show just said it had happened so suck it up and deal with it, Sam-fans. And I've grown tired of Dean as well, atm I have to get back to s1-2 to watch him to make myself remember that I LIKE that dude and that I am almost as much a Dean-fan as I am a Sam-fan.
