It's almost as though finding the Campbells has given him some sort of strange amnesia about his life as a Winchester, if that makes sense. It's funny, 'cause I keep observing Sam's reactions on things, and thinking that in some way his story this season is playing very much like an amnesia storyline. Only that he remembers the past, factually at least. This should ping 'possession' in this show, but it still seems like Sam for me. Just something a bit different. IDK, I read this interview of Padalecki at the beginning of the season in which he said no one had told him this wasn't Sam so that's how he's been playing it. If this isn't really him, or even if he's got Luci in there with him, it'd be pretty careless for the writers not to clue him in. (Then again, he could be lying. Who knows.)
I want so badly to see Sam and Dean embrace as brothers, but I'm not sure how the Sam Dean knows and loves ever really can come back. There has to be an answer, the real Sam has to be in there somewhere, however I don't think Dean's going to find him for awhile. I guess part of why I like the first two options best, the literal freeze, or just the "part" missing, is that in my head, it could possibly be something that might "wear off" or "grow back" so to speak. Idk, on some hand I have this wish that whatever Samuel and the Campbells are up to, Sam knows more and is using them. That would circumvent this repetition of Sam trusting people who are bad thing. But on the other hand, I have this feeling that this truth ep tonight isn't going to show us much other than clearing up the Not!Sam or Evil!Sam idea Dean's thinking right now. 'Cause Sam doesn't know much himself.
Really the thing irking me the most is Dean being so isolated from Sam, thinking it either isn't him or that he's evil somehow or something. If Dean could just learn that whatever it is, it's because of something that's been done to Sam and not a corruption of Sam's own choosing, I think Dean's whole 'trust no one, sleep with one eye open' shtick could end. Who knows though!
