I think Sam asking Castiel if he likes Dean better was the strongest evidence that he's Not!Sam rather than CameBackWrong!Sam. Or an indication of brain damage.

Seriously dude, do you not remember exactly who it was that Cas was tagging along with like Chester after Spike for two years? Your own attempt at developing a BFF relationship with a supernatural entity didn't work out so well.

It was a rather odd question. Just the beatdown in the alley should have told Sam where Castiel's affections lie. Not healthy, but there you go.

However, I suspect it was just sacrificing character to fanservice, since Sam appears to know everything he should know. I think they just wanted to segue to the "more profound bond" and "I wasn't going to mention it" and to make me roll over laughing in hysterics. Because it continues to be all about me.

I thought Sam was being a little snarky there, *and* it opened the door to "profound bond."

You are indeed generous. And less self-centred.

Maybe I'm just inserting the snark to suit my purposes. I should probably watch again to be sure. MY LIFE, SO HARD.

Since we'll find out soon any bets on how Sam is wrong?

General categories
A) Still completely Sam with damage
B) Sam with outside influence - under a spell, made a deal that included mindbending, anything of that sort.
C) Not!Sam or Not!Just!Sam or Not!Completely!Sam - posssesed, part of Lucifer left in him, had to trade part of his soul to get out of hell, Someone else wearing Sam

Bet Persians on a general category, or on something specific within a category. Category bets pay even up, specific bets pay off 3 to 1.

I'm betting two Persian on A. And one Persian on Sam just being numb and emotion free ( and mostly ethics free) from the trauma of being possessed by an Angel, followed by the trauma of time in hell. (Plus the trauma of demon!blood addiction and stuff from the apocalypse before he went to hell.)

Gimme five on C. At least, that's what I hope is up.

Side bet- two on A.

it seems to me that whoever Sam is, he is someone who is really invested in what the angels are up to.

I'm not sure that's Lucifer. So my guess would be A or C...but I really am leaning toward C.

I think the focus is more on the alphas--because of the questionable baby behaviour and the letting Dean be vamped.

I haven't rewatched yet, because I thought it was so sad and creepy. This doesn't happen often.

ita, I thought he wanted Dean to be vamped because Dean would be brought to the special room to find out who was behind all this: which turned out to be an angel, yes?

Or was I smoking too much crack during the episode?
