It's been nagging at my brain...

Was Sam really in Hell? Because correct me if I'm wrong, but I got the impression that Lucifer's cage was more of solitary confinement. And even if this was the case, had Sam been telling the truth he wouldn't have been there for as long as Dean had been and definitely not in the same kind of context either, which make his nonsensical argument about their experiences being "different" incredibly invalid.

As for what the hell is wrong with Sam, I think whether or not either Lucifer or Michael is still inhabiting him, Sam has no soul. The concept with souls happen to be an interesting with this show, this season has an example of both demons and angels making deals with humans in exchange for their souls. So that could be one possibility. There's also something to take into account that was mentioned back in S2 when YED had been talking with Dean about whether or not Sam had returned "right"; granted it could have just been a manipulative ploy because hey, demon. But we've seen Sam go from being Sammy to being this douchebag with a chip on his shoulder since then, so I'm wondering what if there's any significance to that statement or if I'm just reaching for something to make sense from the mess we've been getting lately.


New episode tonight, so hopefully we'll find out.

I'm sorry y'all, I'm still very upset about Caprica, that's what's been on my mind lately. I hate to even suggest it, but Syfy has treated Caprica like how FOX treated Firefly, and it depresses and pisses me off. ;__;

The soul yammering anvils made it pretty obvious that something is up with Sam's soul. Just what, I do not know. He still seems Sam-like at times, he just seems to have no empathy and is willing to do whatever it takes to get things done. But I like New!Sam, so I don't know.

He couldn't have been in hell very long, I'm thinking a couple of days at most. He says he was out almost a whole year. I think being in the Cage is totally different than what Dean went through and most likely involved more mental torture than physical. I wonder if all that demon blood he ingested also played a part in this.

ETA: I don't think we'll be getting lots of answers tonight, I think this is gonna drag out most of the season.

It's just very confusing, because some are like but he's totally still Sam! but then there's that bit of him that isn't. There's no empathy, nothing that resembles how the normal Sam would have acted/reacted. It's just so weird that I don't know what to think.

That's also a good question about the demon blood. All these things they have to acknowledge because seriously, why didn't Dean even ask whatever happened with Lucifer after seeing him in the premiere? Or question about Adam? There's all these loose ends they didn't even bother connecting together so, idk.

Ugh, I seriously think they have to stop dragging it out because it's not suspenseful or keeping us on our toes. It's just annoying.
