Yeah, but that's why I liked it - it's so sincerely atypical that either Sam is proving himself to be the uncaring asshole I've always suspected of him, or there's something else going on. Either is interesting to me.
Now, I could be wrong about this, of course. I don't write the show, or believe me, Sam would've been different from ages ago. But until I do see where the resolution's going, I'm willing to actively pay attention.
That doesn't mean I think you're wrong - you aren't. The writers are digging a trench right now and they're doing all the wrong things to the true fans of the show.
But I've never been a true fan. I enjoyed it, parts of it, I liked the fandom that grew up around it, but it was never my show. Given how much I'm enjoying it, it tells me that they are making every misstep they can and it will backfire, if they don't come up with something brilliant.
But I'm going to enjoy the ride until it collapses.
