A wee Sam thought (SPOILERS FOR LAST EPISODE)

[phx69.livejournal.com]

*****SPOILERS for Last week's episode*****



I have seen a number of tags about last week's episode. 99% of which focus on 'poor' Cas being left behind in such a state (which I personally think was poetic justice and I am glad Cas is gaining true insight into what he cast on Sam when he crumbled Sam's wall). But I only have one strong thought on that episode: Holy crow! If what was in Sam's head, was enough to mentally cripple an ANGEL, how the heck had Sam managed to function so long, mere human being that he is? (I will forget for a moment that as an angel, Cas really should not have been affected like that...they do not feel things in the same way as humans do) My respect and love for Sam went up a thousand fold... Unfortunately, that seems to have gotten lost on much of tag writing fandom: dimmed in light of Cas being left behind. If my muse were in working order right now, my tag would be about Dean's new understanding, compassion and respect, for just what his BROTHER survived. That, and Sam is not healed - Cas said he could not heal Sam, he could however, shift things and get Sam back on his feet. Whatever that means... Anyways, that's my wee Sammy thought of the day. And I just wanted to share it with other people who might feel some sympathy for the poor kid.

I agree! Cas started this so he did what he should have. I hope the show doesn't forget how messed up Sam still is. And yes I would love to read how he not only survived Lucifer in his head for so long, but the electric shock he was getting when Cas found him. I think that Cas just delayed the inevitable, because Sam IS strong but you're right he's only human. How much of a toll has not sleeping caused too. I've read some good fic but I really want to see people focus on those things more. I haven't really seen any non Sam sympathizers which is probably good.

Anyway good post! Happy SPN Friday.

You know what other things got forgotten: Sam's broken rib, lol! And that Dean was actually calling people, telling them about Bobby's death (which he had refused to do earlier) so he could ask for help. That was amazing!
