I already think Sam is the weakness of the show--a boring character played by a poor actor--but I liked having him around because his relationship with Dean was interesting.
I actually liked Robo Sam a lot. But I've been feeling Sam has been rather flat since he got his soul back.
I guess I prefer the show when there is bad tension between the brothers. I loved Season 4 and the tension between them that dominated from start to finish. I never got enough of that. That's my favorite season.
Eliding that tension does make the show seem flatter and far less dramatic to me. Also, at the moment, Jared seems like he needs a larger range of facial expressions.
And they seem to have forgotten a lot of his characteristics from season 4 and 5.
I agree that JP is not as talented as JA but I do think he has gotten much better. Just the last few episodes he's seemed lackluster. In contrast to JA, who was anything but on his return from hell.
