Thanks so much for sharing the results of your in-person Show chat, I loved hearing your theories and how you made sense of S8 (as much as is humanly possible...)
I hadn't thought about the possibility that Sam's unbelievable lack of chemistry with Amelia might have been purposeful - I don't think Show actually is that savvy, but it makes sense to *me* in my own head canon anyway. That's the way I've written my S8 codas, with the two of them broken and grieving and clinging to each other, and so of course they wouldn't have chemistry. It doesn't fit well with Sam's seemingly heartfelt protestations of endless love, alas. But maybe he was just trying to convince himself. Or Dean. Maybe it was a reaction to his jealousy about Benny. *is reaching*
Anyway, I hope that's done with and I can sort of write it off that way.
I don't really mind the boys being douchey - it makes sense considering all they've been through, I'd be douchey too if I'd had to endure all they have. I just need them to have a core of love for each other underneath it, which I do still see. Now let me see more of it, Show!!
