OK. Well, it's hard to have any kind of conversation with you on this when you aren't giving specific examples from the text (What words or actions struck you as OOC in Carver Sam? What else in canon can you cite that makes you think Sam wouldn't say or do those things? What actions or words of Sam's in Carver eps made him unlikable to you? What specific Sam moments in Gamble eps show her understanding of the charaacter?) but just repeat yourself over and over, so I'll leave you to it. Of course, it's fine not to want to bother with digging up specific examples of your points, it being an anon meme for a TV show and all, but without anything concrete to back or illustrate what you're saying you aren't really giving the rest of us anything to engage with.
