Oh dear, now I have Sam the pony boy in my head.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
OMG, someone just dissed Sam on IO9, and because it's all broken I can't smack them down. He is not "whinny." Also, I think he should do a bit of moaning and complaining after being HATEBANGED IN HELL. Jesus.
I know it's almost reflexive in the fandom to say things like "trust in Kripke" and "Kripke is God," but honestly I think he screwed us all over really, really badly when he set up the brother vs. brother dynamic. He did it knowing it was going to split the fans in two, and he did that deliberately, and the ugliness has been epic. I hold him responsible for it and as a storyteller I don't think I can forgive him for it. Some conflict is necessary for drama of course, but he deliberately set out to cause this level of, well, the word ugliness comes up again.
To clarify, when I say "brother vs. brother dynamic," I don't mean Sam wants some things vs. Dean wants others, or they have differing beliefs, but that Kripke deliberately set the fanbase of Samgirls and Deangirls at odds.
It makes me all warm and fuzzy that Castiel seems to be feeling genuinely protective and friendship-type feelings towards Sam.
Why can't they move Sam to a real bed instead of leaving him in the cell?
Ah, crap. My DVR didnt' start recording the ep.
Geez Bobby, at least let Dean have a day or two of afterglow before all the bad crap starts surfacing.
That was like the most beautiful car ride in the series, the angles and the background lights flying past and flaring inside the car.

"I thought I delivered it well"

"Well, I'm not the other man."
Oh Show.
The whole next sequence is infinitely quotable and hilarious.

I'd prefer it if he had those feelings for the soul he was arguing to leave in the lowest depths of hell rather than for the empty shell that was walking around calling itself Sam while cavalierly risking the lives of the people Sam loves.
Bobby should be able to get over this-he did when Sam was possessed by Meg, and he's been on the receiving end of not being in control of himself.
The dragon only likes brunette virgins?

I know Matt, all those years of Catholic CCD classes were rising up in the back of my head protesting that piece of the storyline. As one of heaven's warriors he definitely should have been prmarily concerned about the soul rather than the body.
I think it's more that Bobby isn't being allowed to work through it with Sam now, or that it wasn't Sam posssessed and not in control, but Sam himself but a little [a lot] less when he went to gank Bobby. I see a difference.
