I would *love* to see Dean take the same sort of responsibilty for the Apocolipse that Sam is - since he has as much culpibity in it.

I'm sorry but Dean didn't get the responsibility for the Apocalypse? Where did you get that?

He's said it once, maybe twice, and only once has he come to Sam's defence when someone has put the blame on Sam (in pritty generic there is blame enough for everyone)

He continues to say that Sam started the Apocolipse.

So, no, I don't think he is taking the same sort of responsibility.

And he has to say it every 5 minutes now?
And excuse me again but why Dean has to come to Sam's defence? Sam's a big boy and can defend himself.
And Dean in 501 said they both started Apocalypse so he admitted his part in it.
Otoh, what Sam did? He apologized once and what else? He didn't know he hurt Dean (which is beyond my imagination) he was struck by War's words because he never saw that in him (his lust for powers) and what responsibility he's taking? To go from Dean and leave a normal life again? Or to demand more control from Dean when the whole S4 must be teaching him he's not ready to be in control?

Yeah, I don't know what really happened there, if it's network pressure, just where the story went, or at Jared's request. (Other stars have left TV shows because a TV series schedule is just a bad fit for them, after all.) There are lots of theories. Maybe, 10 years or so down the line, someone will talk about it.

I still love the story Eric's telling, though. I'd like to Sam get over his guilt, or own it and become more complete by the end, though.

he apologizes too much
*shrugs* Iirc he apologized one time and for things Dean never blamed him. And he still didn't even acknowledge how much he hurt his brother.

he apologizes for things he doesn't have to, and Dean's never apologized....

Dean WHAT? Are you kidding me? Dean apologized almost in every S5 ep and he didn't even have to do that.

Ha, I just knew this post was going to set off a whole bunch of comment-debate about Sam's vs. Dean's roles in everything.

For your original point though: I'd love to see more Sam too. For what it's worth, I don't think it's Jared's choosing. From the interviews I've seen, it's my personal opinion that Eric has just become somewhat enamoured of Dean (and Jensen's acting.)

I think though, that S4 was about bringing Dean directly into the mythology and that took a lot of Dean-centric episodes. I'm hoping that we'll get a bit more of Sam this season. So far, besides The End, it's been about equal (though, that may just be my opinion.)

Certainly, one thing we did get in S4 was the fantastic When The Levee Breaks, which I think is my favorite Sam-centric episode to date, and was done fantastically by Jared.

hehe of course, it always does.

Dean IS Eric. Dean's the self-insert, so of course there's going to be more Dean. but Sam can still be there, he doesn't have to sneak off, he can help out still. just like Dean did when the myth-arc was all about Sam.

i do seem to think it's about equal, especially the last two eps we saw - but the fandom has a problem with those, apparently.

oh yes, When the Levee Breaks was well-played by Jared, i agree.

Yes, I agree...which is a good reason for the writers to completely ignore the fandom, because a lot of the fandom is crazy.

trystan830 January 3 2010, 04:18:36 UTC
hehe yes... but.

...maybe the fandom doesn't like Sam because the writers don't really like Sam, and don't know how to write him? or since the writers don't write Sam as well, the fans just don't like him as much?

and the writers DON'T ignore the fandom.

I don't see why the arguments... Oh wait Dean is perfect and Sam is evil to some people. *eyeroll* just saying!

Anyhow, Dean admitted they both started it, Sam apologized end of story... ;) Even if some people can't accept Sam's apology because to them he has to get down on his hands and knees and beg for forgiveness. LMAO Sorry but people like that piss me off. Get over it, Dean isn't a saint.

And you know I am only talking about one person here =p not you, Bodgei or hells_half_acre either lol

EDITED- To add the other person I forgot LMAO

arguments are because the fandom seems to not really like Sam.

Sam doesn't seem to have that much to with the beginning of the season - maybe there's more Sam to come?

*gasp* Dean's NOT a saint? wow, when did that happen. *end sarcasm* ;)

aphrodite33 January 3 2010, 04:03:20 UTC
No they don't and it's a damn shame, because without Sam, Dean wouldn't be Dean. They complete each other.

Yeah not much Sam now, but there is more Sam later on and it all makes sense when it's wrapped up. LOL

don't ya know people have Dean sitting on a pedestal and Sam is his servant. ;) hahahah He is saint Dean to that part of the fandom. *gag*
