Re: Reunion speculation

I'm sure it'll be a bit of a retcon or shoved in that he thought Dean was dead. It doesn't make a lot of sense, no, but I'd rather Sam be a bit naive or clueless and believe that Dean's dead than think Dean's probably alive and in trouble somewhere out there but eh, he won't bother to look.

Jared: "Bobby was gone, Cass was gone, Dean was gone, Kevin was gone. He had no idea where to even start. When Dean when to Hell, (Sam) knew he was in Hell, there was a crossroads deal you go to Hell after that. Sam went to the box, Dean knew he was in the box. Now, maybe he’s in Paris, he’s at the Louvre. There’s no guidelines. "

Jared is filming 8.3. He's surely read at least 8.1. They've been talking about the reunion, so they know what Sam says to Dean about what happened. It doesn't look like Sam thought Dean was dead. Unless they are outright lying to us or unless there's some plot twist, then, yes, Sam thought Dean was probably alive somewhere but he wouldn't bother to look. Exactly that. And apparently the writers and actor have no trouble with that scenario.

Believe me, I've tried to spin this for myself. I can't believe that this is the actual picture. But there is no evidence contradicting it except incredulity that this can really be what they're doing.

da

What about in Time After Time? I mean, Cas wasn't around, Bobby was dead, Kevin wasn't introduced yet. Sam didn't know where Dean was, because he just vanished (sound familiar?) So did Sam give up? NO. He got together with Sheriff Mills and Bobby's old books and saved his fucking brother.

JESUS CHRIST, JEREMY CARVER, WATCH THE DAMN SHOW.

Yes.
Fuck you, Carver. Do you need a summary of the stupid show to know what the fuck are you doing?

And it was barely 10 episodes ago! I hope Jared is just being an confusing as usual and making it sound worse than it is.

Re: Reunion speculation

Oh, but that's from the years that are a "hot mess" that poor Carver is burdened with. Why should Carver trouble himself with them? Gamble probably just put that ep in because she's some crazy ESG who can't accept that Sam is a selfish asshole.

Isn't it sad that Robbie Thompson, the writer of that episode, seems to get Sam more than the guy who wrote Mystery Spot?

Re: Reunion speculation

Do you think maybe Sam is amnesia!Sam and they're not telling us that part?

Srsly that is the only way I can make those spoilers make sense for his character. That, or Sam is severely fucking depressed or has had some new kind of mental breakdown. Which would also make sense but isn't very consistent with what Jared has been saying.

I actually really like the idea of depressed!Sam going to an angel and begging for amnesia and to forget he's a hunter, in a suicidal mirror of what Dean and Castiel did to Lisa.

But there is no way I can get my hopes up that they've done something that good.

It's been said that he talks to Amelia about his past. So he must remember his past. And it's been said that he's grieving, so it's not like he's forgotten the existence of the people he's lost.

Pooh. Maybe I will write a fic where depressed woobie!Sam goes to Gabriel and begs him for amnesia.

Probably I will just sulk on the internet because I don't love this show enough to fic it any more.
