I...dunno. I love Sam. I love Sam beyond the telling of the thing. But I don't care about Cas's anything. I don't even care all that much about Dean's depression at this point, because, OMG, have we ever seen enough about that? So Sam protects Dean from hurt by hiding his hallucinations? What's Dean doing for Sam at this point? When does it become a show about both of them giving back to each other? When does it stop being the show of Dean wallowing and Sam reassuring him of all the ways he's staying/fine/loves him? (I mean, maybe this week! Maybe the week after! If it's some point early this season, I will be more than happy to take back everything I've said. But if we're 6 weeks in and it's still this..distant, unconcerned, woe Dean is hurt thing. No, not so much for me.)
I just. I was sure this was going to be the season where they got back to each other, where Sam would get a little taken care of, and so far (um, one ep in, whatever, don't judge me), it's been almost the opposite. I don't care if Cas gets redeemed--I don't think he's *earned* it, and I'm tired of the show--or the fans compelling the show, I'm not sure which--presenting like he's got as important a role as Sam or Dean. I am just. I don't care about the mytharc, or the angels, or what Cas did. I care about Sam and Dean, and if the show can't deliver on that, I'm out.
Of course, Crowly, and Death were amazing. Almost as amazing as Sam. I fully endorse either of them getting their own show.
Also, I concede that Dean is perhaps a little bit scared. And also that he's lost Sam in all number of ways in the last few years, which makes him scared to trust in Sam alive and breathing and whole. And I also concede that there were a number of very cute Sam and Dean moments (the almost drinking together was adorable). I'm just saying. A little emotion when Sam defies all the odds and isn't a gibbering hell-traumatised reck wouldn't hurt!
