"Yeah, see, I love Sam. I'm a Dean!girl but I love Sam; there aren't many characters I don't like actually which I why I love the show so much but season eight!Sam has made me so angry. And I think it's just because he'd NEVER do that. I've always thought he was selfish (sorry, if you're a huge Sam!girl) - it's his biggest flaw and they all have them in SPN. Which, again, is why I like it so much...it's so true to life - no one's perfect. But, one, he's become much less selfish as he's grown older and wiser and, two, he's never been selfish when Dean's been in danger. Leaving him for Stanford might've been selfish but Sam knew Dean was safe at the time - he could leave with a relatively clear conscience then. But the idea of him just saying 'Well, I think he might be dead, so I'm not even gonna check' is just ridiculous."
No I am not a Sam!Girl in case you haven't figured it out. I consider myself as Dean!Fan, somehow Dean!Girl seems too much like teenage adoration. But you know what the way Sam treated Dean in latest season I am not at all shocked by it. He acted like Dean has done some crime by coming back and spoiling his perfect life. So in the light of this behavior if I see the past seasons then I can totally argue and prove that he never liked Dean but just tolerated him. So this is definitely in character for him. I just had to remove my "brotherly bond" goggles to see it. On top of that Dean does not have anything to do on the show and even if he is pretty I cant just watch that. I mean when a character becomes one dimensional then it is boring.
"I've always seen the show as being about dean and those trials would've been a perfect story arc for him"
Somehow I missed this part of your comment. But in reality show is about Sam and the story is told from Dean's POV. Audience usually get attached to POV character but that does not make POV character protagonist . So this POV character's storyline's are secondary or dropped off. He is related to story only through the protagonist. If I take this view then I can totally see why Sam is very important to Dean but the feeling is not reciprocated. Most of the fanfics follow the same path because basic structure is already given. In conclusion this is just a show and I should stop banging my head and accept the reality.
