We have seen Sam suicidal before, in I Know What You Did Last Summer, for example, and nothing in Sam's current behaviour reminds me of that.
That is my thoughts exactly. We are all entitled to our interpretation and some might genuinely believe that, but in other cases I think people are just saying Sam is suicidal to make Dean not look so bad for doing what he did.
It really is. It would be so easy to make Sam's position tangible and his choices sympathetic to the audience - well, to that part of the audience that refuses to give Sam's perspective any consideration at least.
Exactly! A few different choices here and there such as stating Sam looked for Dean and ran out of options and/or was tricked into thinking Dean was happy in heaven and decided to let him rest in peace and his maturity would have come across much better *sigh*. I miss the competent writing team of the older seasons :(
I guess I just suspect that the writers want us to take Ezekiel's claim, as well as Castiel's confirmation that he is one of the good soldiers, at face value.
I guess we shall have to wait and see where the writers go with Ezekiel! The fact Castiel trusts him might just be another hint that all isn't well. I mean I care for Cas as you know, but I certainly wouldn't be asking his advice on who to trust lmao. I want Ezekiel to be shady because I fear they'll glorify Dean's decision otherwise.
