I so remember this time last year. I was still reeling from Sam’s horrible descent into total darkness, all capped off by his inadvertent kicking off of the apocalypse. These were my exact words at the end of my season four analysis on Sam. “Sam’s only options at this point are redemption, insanity or death. Guess which one…
The lawyers for Supernatural have probably been busy working on the contracts for Season 6, and one can only congratulate them on their choice of priority. But a number of issues arise in the episode Swap Meat which appear to require a little lawyerly attention and analysis.

I eventually followed it up with one about Sam and they got some discussion going. This year, all…
Did Kripke Screw Over Sam Fans? I will end all suspense, if there was any, and state unequivocally that the answer is no. No, Sam is not too stupid to live. No, Kripke did not screw over Sam fans.
