Has Sam Changed Since Seasons One and Two

Just a quick poll. Not saying it is perfect, I'm feeling a little tired, and have probably missed out loads. Feel free to rip apart!

Poll Did Sam Come Back Wrong?

oh thats a very interesting question, I was always curious abour where Sam was when he was dead

I was thinking about it, and thought 'Why not do a poll'

I have the feeling he was in limbo, while his fate was decided.

Good questions. I think Sam did come back a bit wrong. It's always reminded me a little of the story, "The Monkey's Paw" (be careful what you wish for, and be damned careful how you word it!). For one thing, we don't know exactly how long Sam was dead. One of the companion books said he came back on his birthday. I think it was at least 2, maybe 3 days. So where was he? Presumably a Reaper showed up. Did he go with the Reaper, or was he hanging around, watching Dean, wanting to communicate and not knowing how? If so, he probably had to forget that, the same way Dean had to forget his convo with Tessa ( ... )

I'm not sure Sam was anywhere really after he died. I have him in a kind of Limbo, while they decide what to do with him. If he went anywhere it would be Heaven, as he is basically the good guy at that stage, who believes in God, and does try to follow Christian principals, even when hunting. He is the one reluctant to kill a human, rather than Dean.

It was 'Dream a Little Dream of Me' that Sam was in the bar in the afternoon drinking and saying he wanted to pick up girls. Before they went to hospital to help Bobby, but yes, that is when he is taking on more and more of Dean's characteristics. It is also when, at the end, Dean admits he doesn't want to die.

Maybe he would have Azazel's approval, but I'm not sure. Sam isn't really leading a demon army like he wanted him to. I see Sam doing what he think needs to be done, without any guidance, except for Ruby. Which is the problem as he does need guidance after everything that has happened to him now.

I don't know, Maybe.

I'm not sure either. Waiting to see what others think with the poll.

I don't think Sam came back wrong...I think it was more based on circumstance. Sam found out Dean sold his soul in order to bring Sam back to life and Sam KNEW he had to fight and be harder (more like Dean) in order to fight the inevitable ( ... )

Yes, he is keeping secrets, but, after all, he has three months of trying to survive on his own with only Ruby to depend on. Yes Bobby would've helped, but I doubt Bobby would understand the implications of the demon blood.

I see him as trying to carry on as best he can in the circumstances he was in.
