My Thoughts On SPN's The Purge

Last night's Supernatural seriously left me feeling depressed. It seems a large number of people have forgotten the basic premise of this show, including Sam. But I'll get to that in a moment. First, let me get a few things off my chest

Loved yor post ... and I am not surprised that Sam fans are lapping it up. This season I have read that Dean basically let Sam be raped by the Angel, that Dean abuses Sam and now this latest. Its why I stay away from anywhere that is purely Sam orientated.

Sam for me has always been self centred whereas Dean has always put others first. Exactly what John taught him to do since he was 4. What I did see last night from Sam was new aspect, Jealousy. His comment about Dean being the hero reeked of it.

I am only hoping that Dean having the 'mark' will be the thing that changes Sams attitude. That Dean will be in mortal peril and we will see Sam realise his errors and save his big brother.

But for now I wish that Dean would leave (yes I know, leave the only place he calls home) instead hanging around like an abused puppy which it looks like he will be doing next episode.

Sam hit all Deans buttons last night like he knew he would with those comments ... my final thought ... who is really abusing whom, cause it certainly isn't Dean doing the abusing.

The scary thing is, it's not just Sam fans--other fans are in favor of it based solely on some misguided desire for a "healthy" relationship. They see this as a necessary step in "fixing" Sam and Dean's codependency.

But I don't see Dean being the primary problem here--as you said, it's Sam's verbal abuse and manipulation. Furthermore, I don't watch the show for realistic, healthy relationships. My only problem with the relationship is how one-sided it is.

Whole thing makes me depressed.
