Never understood why they always referred to his soul as just a "thing." The soul IS Sam. What was walking around here was just an empty husk pretending to be him.
Exactly It also bothered me that Dean never showed pain and worry regarding Sam's soul or rather Sam still being in hell. And Cas just suggesting that Sam's soul be left in the cage. As you said, that is Sam. I was also really pissed about how the writers went about Sam's time in hell. No trauma, no Dean feeling miserable himself because of his brother's plight. He was in a cage with THE DEVIL. So much could have been done with that storyline.
@@parinikasharma317 Supernatural is the epitome of lost potential. So many story arcs that could've been amazing seasons ended up falling flat due to inept writers.
@@OTBASH i completely agree. One of the prime examples for this for me is the episode Bloodlines. God dang it they set it up so well with freaking mafia monsters and a protagonist similar to Sam and Dean looking for his father. They could have gone half a season with that storyline and honestly I found the secondary villian of that season, Abbadon, to be underwhelming.
What pisses me off is that Cas is so genuinely concerned about the soul-damage. But when they finally come up with a solution, the bastard goes dark-side, breaks the soul-wall and uses poor Sam's suffering as fucking leverage!
Probably because Castiel knew that soulless Sam was more useful to finding purgatory. Once they retrieved it, then Crowley would of had no leverage over the winchesters
