rant ahead

[the_milky_way]

I just really should stop reading reviews (this is not directed at any particular on my flist, just in general) bucause lately they make me mad. But I guess I'll never learn.
Maybe for season 5 then.

And then I am mad at myself for being hypocritical and not really feeling I should accept someone's elses opinion.
I mean I do accept that there are other opinions, doesn't mean I have to liek them.

The thing is that I am getting tired of all the Sam!hate and the 'I am being through with him's and so on.
So does that mean season five should be without Sam? Really?
Feeling ashamed of being a Sam!girl because if this episode? Really?
Not that I ever could decide between the boys mind you but sometimes I think people are taking it a little too far.
Because let's face it, those are fictional characters in the end. Of course you can, and I think it is encouraged in certain case, identify with fictional characters (sometimes even more than with real ones), but does it really have to be all aout hate and embarrasment and things like that? I don't really get it.

After this episode and after the way Sam behaved in it? I see why people are disappointed. But then I don't really see why Dean is so much better. He basically set is brother on cold turkey and told him to never come back. So Dean isn't an ass and does everything right while Sam is the biggest asshole ever and only does wrong things? That's basically what a lot of people thing right now. Right?
Dean is not a saint. He is human as well and he does everything to safe hsi brother, doesn't mean his ways and methods are the right ones though.
Sam is so set in killing Lilith that he has completely lost focus, and sorry, but I think this is very human.

And I have to say that some things Sam did and said made me sad and wish he would have done or said them. But I do think that every reaction is a result of things and I do think Dean isn't innocent in the development. I think Dean plays a huge part in it even and therefore might actually be partly responsible. Of course Sam is responsible for what he does, he is after all an adult, but I think people tend to forget that he is addicted to something that changes his behaviour (and Bobby actually confirmed it in this last episode) and that it actually is defining his life right now.
It's a drug!!!

I don't defend his actions because a lot of them weren't right, I just don't get why people are suddenly so willing to give up on him.
It's actually kinda sad to see.

I don't get the hate. I really don't.But it's easy to hate right?
Of course there are things that aren't likeable about Sam but does it really have to be hate now?
If you actually see those characters as real people you might actually want to see them as human.
And yes, I think Sam is human, he behaves very human. And he is a freaking addict who was on withdrawl had heavy hallucinations and has just one idea in his head he thinks is right.
No idea how addicts work? I do, to a certain degree, because I had several in my family (and yes they are dead now and I wish I could have done more to help them).

I fucking feel the urge to rant and just go on ranting but I think I would only repeat myself without really saying much more.
Right now I just can't take more Sam!hate and people saying they are through with him. What happened to the trust they once had in him and in Dean to actually get through to him (because I still think they might do that in season 5, yes I know I am optomistic but I doubt a season with the brothers fighting each other and hating and one good brother (which is debateable because Dean is human, too) and one evil brother (which is also up for discussion) wouldn't really work in the end? Only because Sam is an addict he doesn't deserve it anymore? Is that what we do? Dismiss people that are ill and obviously can't get out of it through their own strength anymore?

I am not saying you should like this episode or the way Sam behaved. Or the way Dean behaved or that Sam is addicted. I just don't think such a fierce hate for a character that is decidely human and behaves as such is justified.
I just wish people would actually think before they write/say things like "it's his own fault and now I think he deserves to die and he is a fucking asshole. I don't love him anymore and I wish he would be gone for good." Because there are numerous reason for why he is like that now. And not all of them are his own fault.

Oh and let'snot forget that Castiel and his likes actually hepled Sam here and made it possible for him to stay addicted.
Just saying.

Oh and please, would people actually stop wanting Jared out of the show? That's just ridiculous.
