Post 6.05 Sam!explanation bunny

I don't know about you, but although 6.05 is not going on my favorites list I did get a potential explanation of what's going on with Sam.

I don't think this is where the season is going, but I thought I'd throw it out here 'cause I'd love to see what y'all will do with it.

Lucifer's cage... all of hell, in fact... was never meant to hold living flesh. Sam has been split by the box. His living body, his knowledge, his determined hunter self fell through the cage and came back to Earth. His emotional self, his compassion, empathy, fear, passion, all the missing pieces of Sam are still in the cage, at the mercy of Lucifer.

Sam has a key to the cage that Lucifer doesn't have, though: An ethereal, gossomer thread connecting him back to his body. He can't pull himself out, though. There's nothing but the thin line to pull against and he's just not strong enough. He needs someone outside the cage to yank him free.

So anyone wanna write it?

Yeah, I noticed that, too. He seems incapable of feeling this season, doesn't he?

Actually, that's exactly the thoughts that I've been having, in regards to Sam. If they actually went that route, I'd be ecstatic. Hell wasn't ever meant to have a body, so that's the reason Sam got shoved out/came back so fast. Except it's not all of Sam. And I would LOVE to see them go this route. Jared's already been playing such a different character this season, and doing it well, but I (and Dean) miss the real Sam. A lot.

I am glad someone is thinking along this lines because all summer I have been asking what happened to Sam's body. We know that when was hauled off to hell his body was left behind so what happened to Sam's actual body?

I can see this explanation and the wonderful possibility for limpSam since his soul would have been in hell for the whole year... and perhaps his body can somehow recall his soul IF it wants too. The big thing would be making this Sam want his soul back.
