That gifset with Cas telling Sam about being human just illustrates how bad the writing for 10×3 really was. They fucked up that episode and really missed so many opportunities. It just made everything seem off track and made me wonder why Sam is such a washed-out character now. They never let him feel or say anything and they treat him like he has no past or demons of his own.

Yeah, the writers don’t appear to understand Sam at all — not that I’m surprised when it comes to Buckner/Ross-Leming.

that part infuriated me…

It should infuriate everyone. It shouldn’t have been allowed, but you  know when you’re the executive producer’s wife, you can write any kind of shit and get away with it.

I hate the way they’re writing Sam and how they’re cheapened the character, I can’t understand it. That line was simply  laughable, one more time, Cass patronizing Sam.

I don’t understand what they were going for there. It’s possible they just accidentally put got the names mixed up on the dialogue. I don’t even know.

I feel like too often they just end up shoehorning characters spitting out expository material into the episodes.  Instead of the plot and characters informing each other, the characters are sacrificed for the plot, and so one character becomes fairly interchangeable for the other.  They become a function, not a person.
