Jared works the scene really hard but the lack of real chemistry between the two of them doesn't help, that's for sure. Why couldn't they bring back Sarah Blake if they needed a love interest for Sam this season? His going to her would have even made sense storywise and wouldn't have injured his character half as much as Amelia has.
You're right. There's no real chemistry--no sexual tension between the two. When they were snarking at each other it worked and I believed it. But deep abiding love? Not really there. Same as Dean and Lisa. How did that go from "Weekend At Bendy's" to "The Love of My Life?"
I know. It's not that I don't want them to have relationships with anyone other than themselves, I just want to be able to believe in them. Jessica, Madison, Sarah, heck, even Ruby sometimes, all made me believe Sam cared for them. Amelia, not so much.
I like Benny, I want them to have a good supporting cast. It makes it easier on Jensen and Jared not to have to be in every scene and it makes the stories richer for giving them new things to play off. We can manage to do it in our fiction, why can't the people making the big bucks do the same?
