Yeah. I saw a few twitter threads about Sam's lack of storyline so far this season. And I get it - we've had 5 episodes focussing on how Dean is dealing with the losses they've had. There's no doubt I've love to get more insight into Sam's state of mind at the moment, but I actually feel we've been getting a bit of that. Even though it's not said, Jared is pretty good at portraying Sam's feelings without words. I also don't feel that caring for your brother is as problematic as some find it. I remember a lot of complaints when Dean was in that caretake mode - I think it's what makes them work so well - one is down while the other one supports. I don't see it as a lessor storyline.
with such urgency only to apparently go back to the hotel, get changed and wait until dark before going to the haunted house to rescue him
As yes. I wondered if I'd miss something there actually.
I'm less than thrilled about Cas
Yeah. I'm particularly un-thrilled with all this so far. I just wish I felt Dean and Cas as actually true buddies (like I did with Dean and Benny, or Dean and Charlie etc). I'm finding it hard to swallow that Dean would be this down (to the point of willingly killing himself). He'd lived all this time with out Mary (and has completely written off trying to even look into saving her) and I just don't buy that he'd not be able to live on without Cas. In fact, for all the trouble he causes them I'd say there would be some relief.
But yeah, I suspect there is a lot of trying to appease the destiel side of fandom. I have zero issue with ANY ship in fandom - I just find the whole need for it to be canon kinda hard to understand. I pretty much try to stay away from all that (though it's damn hard sometimes!).
I am still hopeful that something interesting will be going on with Cas. If he's simply just returned it will be pretty uninteresting. I suspect something as to be going on because Cas will need some sort of storyline. I just hope it doesn't take away from our lovely brothers. :)
