Because Sam getting some just inevitably leads to Le WeepFest Extreme.

And unexplained fatalities. The FBI can track him with his libido.

if the story didn't break like this, then we wouldn't have those angsty-brother conversations at the end. I love them. A lot.

Joss always managed to have his angsty conversations in the middle. Or even better, he set up situations where the viewers were having those conversations for him, because he'd implied so well that all that was necessary was a look, or one line, to invoke the whole situation. The richest conversations are the ones where you don't actually have to say what's going on, you know?

explicitizing the implicit is not the show-writer's job. That is the fandom's job!

But not for Sam!

If he could get over the weepy over-analysis part, I could see a certain dark streak emerge over the next season. What with the monkey's-paw scenario hinting the Big Bad did before he bit it.

He's much like his name buddy Sam Carter in that way.

Plastic!Winchester Theater is awesome with a side of awesome. anteka also did that Impala meta that Bev mentioned.... somewhere back there.

I had to look up Sam Carter because I haven't seen SG-1 yet. I watched Atlantis on disk (so hurry up Tuesday), and I plan on catching up with the original. That character is joining Atlantis in the new season, yes? Everyone she sleeps with dies? I hope she stays away from Rodney McKay.

Poor Sam. She and Janet weren't even canon, and even Janet died.

Sam should become a nun, clearly.

Well, for 3 or 4 seasons, at least. After that, it was all Magical Car Crashes and Scene Chewing Monologues on a Cross.

He also killed Wash, Book, Doyle, Darla, Cordelia, Fred, Wesley, Lindsey, Darla, Tara, Joyce, and Xander's Eye. I don't want the writers to take notes.

You have me there. But I still adore it. ::smishes the show:: And now that I think about it, I like their explicitizing better than fandom's explicitizing. Fandom has the kerfluffle. The show just has the pretty.

But...interstices! And...characters we would have loved had we gotten more than two minutes with them! And canon character observation from outside POVs! And, well, crackfic!

And vid-visions!

There are some shows that are magnified and made more complete by fandom, I think. If one can ignore the wankerage and kerfuffle.

Any girl that Sam seems to come in contact with...ends up killed or hurt.Well the women in Sam's life.

His mother,his girlfriend(Jessica) and what's her face. Werewolf chick.

Madison, Abbey.

But Sarah Blake is still alive! As is Jo! There's hope yet, for Sam.

Yeah. I forgot. Shame on me. Temporary memory loss.

What about AVA? Ava was killed. Jo could have most likely killed Jo if Dean hadn't shown up. Maybe evil Sam would have just tortured her.
