While I acknowledge hurt!Sam has a big audience, the 6'4" muscular Sam being frail really turns me off. Maybe it's a stereotyped prejudice, but I just can't help it. I just don't think Jared does vulnerability well. Let him be protective, lethal, or even angry, and menacing, he's great in any of those modes, but please don't turn him into a not-so-damsel in distress. *prays*
You are right, Dean has been taking care of Sam since he was a wee child himself. And most of season one and half of season two Dean was doing that too. For me, Sam really started to shine in season three when the table was turned, and he was looking for ways to save Dean. Unfortunately that season was shortened due to Writer's Strike.
I get worried when I hear the actors and writers/producers say season 6 is going to be like season 1, I honestly don't want to see big brother Dean taking care of little brother Sammy while hunting for the things that bump in the night.
