6x01, now with thinky thoughts
It feels so odd and so wonderful to be watching this show live again with my flist. *tearful hugs*
( But enough with the emo. On with the thinky. )

So much here. I particularly like "let Sam be Sam". I was totally not wanting that to be Sam immediately after watching because that was not a Sam I was familiar with. It hurt to see him so closed down. But I have pretty much come full circle in wanting that to actually really be Sam - for all the reasons you state. I think now that it would be a big cop out if it turns out not to be Sam. I am accepting that we have characters that have evolved. They are not the ones we are entirely used to... but I'm thinking that a good thing. Now. *g*
Because they choose to be each other's friend.
It was one of my big hopes for S6 and I'm seeing now that this could be the beginning of that journey. For them to look at each other as equals, partners, friends and brothers would be the payoff that would be great to see. I think be started to see evidence of that in that episode. (as difficult as it was to watch in some ways.
Anyway. Thanks for this. I am feeling much more "healed" after reading the positive metas around about that episode.

I completely agree with your paragraph about Sam. It would be an awful cop out if he's evil!Sam or devil!Sam or some such plot device. They may be darker or more bleak in characterization, but I really want to feel invested in their relatinoship again and to feel like things build up naturally out of experiences and character traits.

Yes, exactly! *crosses fingers*
You're welcome! :) I wasn't very positive about S5, but 6x01 has really done a lot in restoring my faith. We'll see how it goes!
