One hundred percent agree with you about Sam. Do I like what he said? No. I kept thinking about how much hearing that must have crushed Dean and, yeah, it kinda makes me want to cry. And I also think that Sam is actually thinking and feeling the things that he said. However, I also think that those things, though utterly unjustifiable, are certainly understandable. We know who Sam is, what he wants, and how he has lost many of the things he dearly wishes he could have. And we know that, on some level at least, he directs that blame toward his life, the hunting, and Dean as a proxy for both those things. And we also know that as much as he grieved Dean, he must also have been really angry at him for leaving Sam the way he did.
As far as I'm concerned, that ep featured some really fabulous writing that was very much in keeping with the boys we know. Which is why it hurts so much.
