You're right we didn't see them that way but that's the way to me two folk in such a hurt and desperate place would have acted. As you say desperate clumbsy the pinging buttons not in a Mills and Boon sense more grabbing for something to hold. There relationship didn't confuse me but the way it was portrayed did if that makes sense? It was like some kind of dream sequence or indie film where the director decided to only show the more mundane moments of daily life that happened in between the emotional events it was surreal almost.
I kept thinking I had missed a scene somewhere. As usual those involved did their up most with the scene they were given just those scenes weren't the best at A explaining their relationship and B making the viewer feel empathy towards Amelia and to SAm's heartbreak and comfort senario. Maybe that's the way to describe it like souless Sam had no empathy. scenes without soul get no empathy? It was like the writers had so much to say that they couldn't squish it in only they accidently cut out the explanitory scenes instead of all fills. They had a similar problem with Purg you were left feeling like all the scenes you really needed and wanted to see got cut. Maybe if they had reunited the bros in ep 3 or 2 instead or flash backed more I mean the whole Cas got left in Purg thing could have remained from Dean's perspective when he escaped till a much later ep just as it did. Introducing us to Benny first in Purg would not have deminished the impressivness of Dean resurrecting him a few eps later than they did.
We didn't get a real chance to establish the setting so a few eps seeing Sam and Amelia fly on the wall and Dean and his mental state in purg etc would have been great. Then in say ep 3 have Dean come back have a bit more viewer only insight into Dean's PTSD his shiftiness over Benny and reunion with Sam. Then run from there. I mean I'm no show writer they have tough job to do and they do it well. Just 8 started a little slow for me a few of the eps were good eps but wouldn't have bothered the arc if they had been missing or altered. They kind of were no nutritionally padded when the same eps could have been heartily nurishing us with Purg and SAm and Amelia info if that makes sense?? By the mid season they were on to form again plot and direction wise espec with the whole trials issue it's just a shame both the SAm and Amelia and Purg storylines both got kind of lost in translation. tbc.....
