A quick prediction

[feliciakw]

Methinks that tomorrow night's ep will be a step toward "solving" or "resolving" the mystery with Sam, at least in part. The way I'm reading the previews (which is not a given on the accuracy, since Previews Always Lie), Dean turns vamp, Grandpa Campbell wants to put him down. (Ooh! Or collect him and stash him with the djinn for whatever purposes he has.) Sam will thus have to make a decision: protect/save Dean, or fall in line with Samuel's plans. Given that Sam seems to view Dean as his conscience of sorts, this could play out either way. 1) He continues to recognize his need for Dean, ala EoMS; or 2) Dean's not there to balance him out and talk sense to him, so Sam is influenced by Grandpa's choices.

I'm inclined to think that Sam will side with Dean, thereby putting a wedge between him and the Campbells. But if the rest of the clan shows up . . . things could get interesting . . . .

No i don't hate those eps (i didn't see them i can't hate what i didn't see) i'm dreading them. I'm not sure if i can talk spoilers here so i won't.

What I find ironic is that as much as you hate that they're whitewashing Sam or whatever, there are Sam fans who hate that the show has become (according to them) All About Dean, and that Dean gets the lion's share of screen time and Sam has (according to them) been made a secondary character.

Between those two camps, the writers just can't win.
Haha, i've heard about that and it's funny because you can't have your pie and eat it. Sam fans wanted Sam to be a center of mystery of the show. But when you have it you can't show POV of that character because it'll ruin the mystery :)

As for the writers - oh, they can win. Actually those 2 camps of fans - it's their creation. To be precise it's Kripke's idea. He separated the boys and made one at first an asshole and then whitewashed it not giving any satisfaction the the half of fandom. And now they still keep the boys at odds making fans to choose the side. But there's a way to at least try and fix it - not whitewashed any of bad deeds but let the character to acknowledge them and atone them. Then they can *win* at least those who still believe in so-called bond. Why they chose not to do it i have no idea.
