Supernatural Article: Is Sammy Really Dark Side?

For the time being, there is a LOT of evidence that Sam is totally going bad. For one, he has demon blood in him. Two, he can use special psychic powers to send demons back to Hell. Three, he doesn't listen to anyone, whether it be an angel, a psychic, of his own brother, when they tell him he should stop using his powers. Four, he has now acquired a taste for demon blood. Ew. Five, he hangs out with Ruby behind Dean's back, then lies about it. Six, he can now kill demons with some serious concentration and a clench of his fist. Wow, that's a long list.

But in a way, he's doing the right thing. Not hanging with Ruby, demon skank extraordinaire, but with fighting and killing the demons. I mean, he has these powers. He can't stop them, of prevent himself from having them in the first place, of abstain from using them, because he gets really bad headaches, so he's got no other alternative.

It's like Harry Potter. Harry has these nasty Voldemort powers. He can see into his mind, and everyone is trying to get him to turn it off, but he can't. Now he has two options: he can either embrace his dark side and let Voldemort see inot his mind for access into the Order of the Phoenix and such things, of he can watch and see what the enemy's up to. It may seem bad at the time, just like Sam's actions, but it is all for the benefit of the good side!

Sam is helping the angels door killing off the best demon soldiers that Lucifer has to offer, and I'm sure that, in time, he will stop the apocalypse (with the help of Dean and with Ruby dying a fiery death, teehee) and be rewarded in the eyes of God.

fanfly I want to point out a few things; Sam doesn't get headaches when he doesn't use his powers- he gets them when he [i]does[/i] use them. Or at least he did until he practiced enough or drank enough demon blood to over come that. Not sure which cured the headaches. And he [i]has[/i] gone for a long time without using his powers with no negative consequences(he never used his powers once during season 3). So it isn't as though it's physically impossible for him. The only time it was, was when he was having visions and he hasn't had one in a very long time. I understand that he thinks he's doing the right thing and on the surface it seems to be the right thing; killing demons. However, I can't shake the feeling that something bad will come of it. For one thing, Ruby is the one encouraging him to use his powers and has been all along. It's already been established that she's manipulative and I still don't think her motives have been adequately explained. She remembers being human? Wants Lilith dead? --Why is she different from all other demons? What does she have to gain from Lilith's death? The other thing is that Azazel is the one who gave Sam this "gift". He did it for his own purposes and just because he's dead doesn't mean that no one else is carrying out his plan. For all Sam knows, [i]he's[/i] carrying out Azazel's plan by strengthening his powers and drinking more demon blood. Even the angels don't know what Azazel had in mind when he created Sam. All I'm saying is that I still have grave doubts about the benefits of Sam using his powers as opposed to the potential cons. There's too much we don't know about them and the fact that they are rooted in demon blood just makes me think that they can't be good in the long run. Also, most of the psychic kids that opened themselves up to their powers turned into murderers. I think the only exception was Andy. And he only experimented with mind control. I don't think he ever tried anything else.

princess86 So well explained fanfly! I'm with you on this one!

Ace25 We will have to wait and see but I like your answers.

samlover316 Okay, fanfly, I see your point. But I'm pretty sure Sam gets headaches when he doesn't use his powers. But if you say that's wrong, then I'll have to YouTube it for confirmation. And I think that when Sam uses his powers he gets the headaches when he's stopped; it's like withdrawal. That's why he didn't have the headaches during season 3. You can't get withdrawal when you don't use the drug. And I totally agree with you on the Ruby front: she can NOT be trusted. The only reason I'm defending Sam is because I'm completely in love with him (hence my name). But thanks so much for taking the time to read this!
