I failed, because I totally got distracted by the gorgeousness.

I want to believe Sam's actually in there somewhere, but mostly I read insincere posturing in those moments you pinpoint as being him. Like someone/thing has studied Sam as he's stuffed somewhere inside himself and is trying to mimic the appropriate reactions. And doing a worse and worse job of it.

I wonder, though, why this Sam had to come for Dean, because up until then - no one he was around knew him well enough to know any warning signs. Hmmmm.

It's very, very easy to get distracted by the gorgeousness. *sigh*

Maybe Sam needed Dean because he needed someone to notice that something was wrong with him. Maybe that's his cry for help? Or maybe having Dean around makes the "real" Sam stronger than the other one? Though the fact that he could stand there like that, even if it was for only 10 seconds, kind of negates that theory, doesn't it?

I think your theory has merit, too. I mean, Meg did such a good job of "being" Sam that Dean had no idea she wasn't really him.

I think I just need to believe that Sam is there, and that he's either completely unaware of what's happening to him or he's fighting against it with everything he has. I don't think I can let myself believe that Sam's just gone. :(

Hmm, I actually do think Sam's in there - I just think we haven't truly seen him. Like, instead of those glimpses being total mock-ups, they're possibly muted so much by whatever else is in there with them they don't ring sincere (to me).

There are some things so intrinsically Sam that they can't be faked. And Dean knows Sam better than anyone - he's been duped by that guy enough he also knows that about Sam, and so he knows that whatever is walking around topside isn't his brother.

OMG THIS POST JUST SAVED MY SANITY! BRB LINKING!

I think it saved mine, too. I'm loving the writing this season, and I'm loving that I'm so damn sucked in and invested, still, after all these years, but... I was numb for hours after I watched it last night. I don't like feeling like that, even though it is a sign that they're "doing it right."

I just need Sam to be Sam, somehow. And I'm probably completely wrong, but yeah, it makes me feel better to think it, at least for now.

Yeah, I was really enjoying this season until this episode. It's one thing for Sam to be morally ambivilent and keeping us guessing at what's wrong with him but this is something else entirely. I want my Sammy back :(

I love the idea of a Jekyll/Hyde sort of thing though. And it explains why Sam genuinely didn't seem to know what Samuel was talking about re the cure

[sandy_s]

I thought what you thought, too, cause he asked Dean what it felt like to him to drink the blood, right?

Got linked via my friend hils, and I have to say that I think you're spot on. I really do feel like our Sam is in there, but that there's also something else, too. My theory so far is that a body can't be thrown into Hell: souls only, everyone else must pass Go without collecting $200. But I also feel like Sam's soul is in there, too. The physical part, the body part, is perhaps the stronger part of Sam right now. So the WTF look (which oh my god my friend and I were losing it, screeching at the television) could be the whole physical part, the, "This is the perfect time to try out that whole vampire cure thing," hunter part of him. But the real part of Sam's soul, the part that ran and was afraid for Dean, I think it's almost being protected in a way. If that was the main part of Sam, I don't know. I feel like he'd be more broken, so this is how Sam's coping. The stronger, hunter part of him is protecting himself, but at the same time, doing a lot of damage in the process

I think so too!! Dual!Sammy FTW!! There's just...too many holes, you know?

*hugs you tight*

And yes...Sammy was frigging hawt too - needed to be said!
