Didn't get to watch this on Monday. The Male was being shiatsued (and apparently breasts are a kidney disorder, who knew?) and then we went for food, so we taped it and watched it on Tuesday. I slapped together the snark as best I could because ohgod, no TIME, too much WORK

That's ... exactly it, oh my god. This is the problem I have with Sam all the time, but it's said just freakin' right.

Seriously, though. Sam is selfish. Not in a he-wants-everything way. Not even in a pay-attention-to-me way. Just in a way where he articulates and acts upon every thought he has without actually pausing to consider how this will impact upon other people. I'm sure that he couldn't have got to 23 and living in the world without coming across the concept of compromise and sublimating oneself to some other cause, I just don't know that it's ever occured to him to do it for anything other than "normal".
But hey, it's part of what makes him so interesting. *G*

What makes it so interesting is that Dean encourages it because that's their nature -- he doesn't say "I wish I could, too" but "I wish you could, too" and Sam never has to think to question his initial statement.
Fwar.
Hope you don't mind that I've friended you, by the way -- I am lovin' these posts too much not to catch them.

BWA! I actually loved Sam in this episode but dude, seriously, GET OVER IT ALREADY. How many years have you had to angst over this crap? Heh.

I guess it's that, to Sam, the idea of Dean having innocence is completely and utterly beyond the scope of reality. Because Dean has always been older and wiser and a little Daddy Junior. So Sam doesn't even think of it.
The sad thing, possibly, is that neither does Dean. It's beyond his scope of reality as well. Then again, he doesn't want it. Then again, would he want it, if it even faintly occurred to him that he could have had it?
It's a damn good point, though. *flicks peanuts at Sammy*

Sam doesn't have the emotional maturity to think of things from other people's perspectives. I don't think he ever wonders what Dean really wants, or what his regrets might be, or how many things he's been deprived of. Dean just exists, as far as Sam's concerned.

Dean: If it means anything, sometimes I wish you could too.
Me: N'aww. But you can't. So shut the fuck up and get in the car.
I love you and I want your snarky babies! GOD Sam gives me the shits sometimes with his soft-spoken hushy-voice and his wistful ruminating and his constant freaking whining. Ugh. I love him, I do, but if I were Dean I'd...huh. Ok, if I were Dean the SECOND thing I'd do is just smack him upside the head a few times.

Sam's afterglow is suddenly completely shattered by a sharp clip behind his ear. "Ow!" he yelps. "What the hell was that for?"
"What was that for?" Dean growls (still, one notes, naked). "Where do I fucking START?"
