Mal, I am definitely going to compose an email. I'll even post my mail, though it might take a few days. I am out of town in training. |

Wow. I hope she does respond. But I remember someone from TWOP emailing her to no avail (on the show) during season 2. I don't know if they care enough to really stop everything and fix Sam! I keep thinking of Dean stopping everything to find John, and how the writers should apply that to Sam. They bleeped up so badly with him, you would think they'd want to do a good job as writers and fix their mistakes. But, no...... |

All right, it's the right one this time. I think I can write an email and post it here. But I will be away next week so it might take a bit longer. fandrea |

My letter to Sera Gamble -- let me know if you all catch any mistakes. Dear Sera Gamble, First and foremost, let me introduce myself, my name is Tammi Baker, and I am the founder of a message board titled “Coalition for the Written Enhancement of Sam’s Story” – CWESS. I used to be an frequent poster on SN.TV, however, it became apparent that Sam and bi-bro fans were not welcome amongst the rapidly growing brother versus brother craze, and thus I created a board where bi-bro and Sam fans could post without name calling and such. The name came for something I am writing you about, and quite honestly, would love to write Eric Kripke as well, however I lack any way to get a hold of him. Regardless, my beef, our beef, is that Sam Winchester seems to be cast aside for the all powerful Dean. And before you roll your eyes and say I am just another fangirl gone mad I’d like to tell you that I am a fourty-one year old woman (well above fangirl age) that tuned into this show because it had something that most shows don’t – a plot that went well beyond who is sleeping with who. This was the show of all shows, a story of two brothers who, against all odds, fought evil and tried to save their little piece of the world. I stressed two because it seems to have become the Dean Winchester Show … and old whatshisname. Not the show about family – about good and bad, right and wrong, and all those shades of gray that most families touch on. In other words, it is a show that most of us, no matter if we believe in the supernatural or not … could relate to. Another point I would like to stress is that … I adore Dean’s character. I love his snark, his sass, and just everything about him. When Eric Kripke felt the need to come and tell everyone that Dean was not a dick, my reaction was, “Yes, he is, it’s why I adore him!” After all, who other than a dick would smart off the way he does?! And I mean this in the most adoring way! But while I love Dean, I absolutely adore Sam! I do, however, consider myself mostly bi-bro, so I can say this quite honestly … I miss this story being about two brothers. If it is, in fact, still what was initially plotted – then why has every storyline that has been about Sam … been axed? Why has everything that has happened to Sam other than him dying been offcamera and assumed rather than shown? Why did Dean cry and whine over the Impala half the season, but not once were we, the loyal viewers, given Sam’s decent into demon blood addiction? Oh sure, we saw the end, the shakes, the panic room lock down … but we were robbed of the rest of the story. Robbed of why Sam, the man who, in the words of his brother, feels guilty surfing the net for porn, didn’t back away from Ruby when Dean came back from hell. Oh sure, I can come to assumptions, and I have … but since I was given a backdrop on Castiel/Jimmy, and even one on Ruby in Season 3 … why in the world would you deny me one on the shows second lead? Why can shows with five, six, seven leads … give their audience equal viewtime of each character, but Supernatural, a show with but two leads, can’t do the same? We are given more back story on side characters, evil characters that end up dying (ie: Gordon and Bella) than we are the second brother of this show. A brother that, until the end of last season, you yourself were still calling a hero. I’d like to see some of that. I’d like to see Jared’s tremedous acting ability in episodes for longer than a cameo. I’d like to see an episode about Sam actually contain Sam! I don’t believe I am asking for too much, after all, in wanting this, I do not want Dean’s role in this show diminished (unless of course he is Saint!Dean, then I might just gag!) though I do want my show restored. The one about two brothers. The one that all of your loyal viewers fell in love with. Because quite honestly, right now, I am just standing here dumbfounded, like someone watching a trainwreck as blood and guts fly, and I know, deep down, it wasn’t what I bargained for and I should turn away … but I just can’t, not because you are giving me what was initially promised, but because Sam and Jared are keeping me here. So I am voicing my concerns for a show that once upon I time I used to rave about, a show that I personally pulled in about 10 more viewers than you had on your own – a show that once upon a time the world could go to hell for an hour because by God, Supernatural was on. So please, give me back my show. The story about two heros. The story that has two stars – not just one. Thank you so much for listening, Tammi Baker Founder of CWESS |

Great letter, Tammi! Personal and heartfelt. I hope I can do as well you have. I think I'll wait until at least Friday to post mine. I'll be adding "statisics" (because that's what I know) and it'll be good to approach Sera from several different angles. |

Wonderful post, Tammi. It's also good that you pointed how much you like Dean, too. And why you started your own board. And why it is so hard to see Sam always be the one sacrificed on the altar of Dean. FYI: you spelled forty-one as fourty-one! |
