I confess, I feel like you do about the Sam/Amelia thing. I just don't get it, I was definitely hoping for more, I was ready to *love* it--I definitely hoping for a better resolution. I'm leery of the way they ended it anyway. I'm not sure if we were supposed to take away from that that Sam was a decent guy, stepping to the side so quickly when Don reappeared, not fighting at all but...I don't know, sleeping with her after having "given her up", not very noble. There's just too much going on in the background and while I bet this is hot stuff in the soaps, that's not what any of us signed on for.
Benny and Dean were by far the more interesting relationship, especially since Dean kept describing their thing more in relationship terms than in friendship terms. I get that it was supposed to read as "family" but...not so much. Probably due to Jensen's crazy onscreen chemistry with just about everyone.
*grins* Never too late to bitchtalk about Show! I'm leery of the way they ended it anyway.

I know. I kind of think that the blatant adultery was supposed to convince us of how hot for each other they really are, but they sure didn't sell me on it. And I know it's not because they can't show much sexiness onscreen because it's on the Teenybopper Network, because you and I are both old enough to remember smoking hot couples with incredible chemistry back when EVERY sex scene was a "fade to black before the goodies came out." You know?
On the other hand, the other stuff "going on in the background" might be what's making it seem less intense. We KNOW Sam's not going to stay with Amelia in the long run already so there's no real suspense there, but it's hard to see how they could have made it more poignant—made us CARE about that relationship—without detracting from everything going on with Castiel, Crowley and Kevin, not to mention Dean and Benny.

Hahaha...I hadn't even thought about that being the reason for me being more interested in Dean and Benny (and I don't even ship Dean/Benny), but it's true. Jensen is totally the little black dress.
