it's really bizarre that both of them, on a wide range of things, should revert back to 2005 rather than any other time in their lives. Exactly. I have been writing about Sam and Dean for 7 years now, and if I was able to count on one thing in this show it's that the characters genuinely felt like an accumulation of their past experiences - and that feeling is pretty much gone this season. Sometimes I feel like the things that drive Sam and Dean at any given moment this season are randomly picked from anywhere in the timeline. It's quite distressing, really. I miss Sera Gamble fiercely this season.
It's like they have an index card for each character made when the series was originally conceived that they use for reference and believe in the face of all intervening evidence. And isn't that a sad thought. :(
I've heard the fears about baby plot, and, though it has a certain horrifying plausibility, I don't think it's wildly likely. From your mouth to Carver's ears. LOL Although there are plenty of other scenarios they could think up to bring Amelia back and none of them are good. The idea that Sam has to sacrifice 'normal' for good - like Angel waved the Shanshu - is certainly a possibility, but I would really rather see Sam choose the life than being permanently screwed over for a greater cause, again. /sigh
