show critical – artherra

The problem with Sam caring for Nick is not that he’s caring for Nick – that’s entirely in character for Sam – or even necessarily that Mary doesn’t fully understand why that has to be hard for him – because nobody ever fully told her – but it’s that the writers, once again, gave everyone else an opportunity to talk about their Lucifer related trauma but Sam.

I don’t blame Mary or Jack for not fully knowing, because how could they (Castiel is another bag of issues here), but we just sat through two consecutive episodes in which everyone but Sam was allowed to textually acknowledge how difficult it can be to see the face of someone who’s responsible for much of your trauma. I’m tired.
