An excerpt:

However, Wardrobe needs to realize that Sam is now a strapping tall lad with pecs out to there and shoulders as wide as an axe handle. We’ve seen the pictures. He can pound nails with his neck. He can decapitate a vampire man with a

I have to say I liked Long Distance Call way more than Ghostfacers, but I, too, thought some things seemed off.

I have been informed that the boys rent the suits and do not carry a bunch of them in the trunk of the Impala.

Was there some official statement that I missed? It sounds a lot more reasonable than them carrying around a bag with thousands of suits.

Back in the motel room, Dean does research on the laptop while Sam lounges sexily on one of the beds.

Watching that scene I was like 'Huh??? Why is Dean working the laptop???', because like you said, it is so out of character for Sam to hang around doing nothing and letting Dean do all the research.

Bwahahaha!

the question as to why Sam has a rental car in the first place.

Does anybody have a good explanation why Sam uses a rental car? Because I still don't get it. But I really liked the licence plate of the car. It said EM(number)O(more numbers) and all I could see was EMO.

The boys go to the

Late at night, when I'm tired, I begin to think that Ackles and Padalecki were doing it as some kind of protest for some reason. Isn't that a weird theory? Go figure.

LOL

Oh no, nothing official. I just had a dozen people write me with the theory that the boys rent suits in each town they are in. That counts as valid in my book!

Ok, I'll go with that theory from now on!

He has outgrown them, yes, and he'll never be that sweet and innocent again, which begs the question as to why they dressed him like it was Season One?I think it has something to do with his mental attitude towards hunting and his plans of how to live his life. Back in S1, all he wanted was to stay away from anything involving hunting and have a normal/safe life. You could say that normal people are innocent when it comes to the supernatural, so he fit in. Plus, back then he was relying heavily on Dean to sort everything out (I'm not talking about research here, I mean the huge swamp that was suddenly his life) and he looked kind of helpless when Dean wasn't

Why, then, is Wardrobe still dressing him like he's in Season one? It seems to me that that's what they are trying to do, keep him small and young, when from our perspective, Sam's gone way beyond that in experience.

Uh, I totally misunderstood your question.* I got it now. Let me think about it. If I'm not mistaken the only clothes he still has from S1 are his jackets. He has moved from sneakers to boots and I don't think we have seen him in a hoodie after Nightshifter (which is a shame, he wears hoodies so well). He seems to prefer the pink shirt now. :) So overall, I'd say it's the jackets that interfere with his grown up appearance, and you are right, they need to go. He looked like a teenager when he dragged the chick's little brother off the road. As to why Wardrobe keeps the jackets - I have no idea. The only thing I can think of is that they want to make him look younger than Dean, which he doesn't necessarily do anymore.
