| I think we became so used to the Sammy all dependent on Dean. Now, we're seeing a different Sammy and we're not liking it. I do understand him though, as much as I don't want him lying to Dean, I do understand him.
He was lost when Dean died (he is still right now  ), he didn't know what to do. No demon would deal with him, there's basically nothing he could do to bring his brother back. It'll be too painful for him (and Bobby as well) if they would go together and find out the ways. As far as I know my Sammy, he's only dependent on Dean and Dean was gone he wanted to do it alone. To grieve alone - to be alone!
Then there's someone he had believed in (somehow) before and had faith in him - Ruby. But then as far as I can remember all Ruby wanted Sammy to do was to follow his 'supposed' calling. She, as Sammy might think, knew more about demons than they do since she's a demon herself. So when she probably showed up and offered assistance, he took it. Assistance as in leading the pack who will fight against Lilith's army. Because remember at that time, Sam was hopeless, he probably thought that if he can't save Dean then he might as well have his revenge by learning how to fight and kill them.
Then he found out Dean is back and they have no idea how he was saved. He had apprehensions and also was frustrated that it wasn't him who saved his brother. Then there's this practice and stuff with Ruby. Dean still have this problem that he would have to unshackle - how was he saved? Then probably Sammy thought he'd deal with Ruby for now since Dean had a lot to think about. I don't think he'll go days or weeks without telling Dean about it. Or maybe sooner or later Dean will also find it out, they knew each other too well.
That goes back to my first thought - we're not so used to Sam not depending much on Dean. This time he's making decisions by himself and not going with it through Dean first. Can be a bad idea but heck how would you make a broken man deal with pain and sorrow for four months? Maybe it was Sammy's way to deal with pain - enlist himself to fight against bad demons while trying to find ways to save Dean.
I am still a Sammy girl - no issues here. I liked the story and where it can lead. I see a promising plot. Although, I didn't like the new Ruby, I am still for Katie. |
