SPN 13x11 "Breakdown" ... mature thoughts.

 

 TLDR Even though I love Sam having finally a voice, YEAH!!!....some thoughts are still bothering me. Sam's repeated breakdown makes no sense, Singer & Dabb (Dumb & Dumber) are awful and ignorant show runners. 

It's quite interesting to read post's on tumblr about the last ep of SPN “Breakdown”. But one post jumped right into my eye, namely “Can we have happy hunters please?“. I'm not gonna link it, bc the post is quite infantile, so no need to push any attraction on to it. It's just, what show is this person actually watching? Do they know that the show “Supernatural” is actually a horror & drama show? And not a Disney production?

Further if this person would be aware of what he/she is watching than the outcome and Sam's behavior in that episode “Breakdown” wouldn't have been that shocking. Just look a couple seasons back, Sam was since Dean took the MoC until now, on a unrealistic, maniac steroid optimism tour. And this after the deadly trials, the possession through a psychic angelic entity, being almost killed in a mock beheading by his brother, tortured by necromancers aka BMoL, the resurrection and assumed death of his mother or the rise of his nemesis Lucifer onto the earthly realm. All these events together are a hard core blow of fate from which he himself wasn't allowed in any form to recover, or even wasn't allowed to mentally process and thereby comprehend the devastating events, which happened to him personally.

Additionally one should keep in mind that title of the episode was “Breakdown”, not subtle in any form and therefor no big surprise. The only surprise was, why the breakdown now? Because of the 'bad place' event and the aftermath? Could be...but at least it's about time that Sam realizes again(!) the reality of his life. I mean didn't he say years ago to Charlie, paraphrased 'he's not happy with hunting, but it's his life'. Emphasizing that he was consciously aware of his extra-ordinary life style, living in a metaphysical world, which in any form contradicts and therefor is not compatible with the white picket fence, positive law, materialistic modern lifestyle.

So, why now the repetition of Sam's incapability to comprehend, that the world he lives in, namely the old natural law, metaphysical world, doesn't follow in any form (zero / nada) the determined rules of the post-modernist world view, is an enigma or cognitive dissonance or ignorance. Now by deliberately ignoring the metaphysical (supra-natural) world and their rules, in which Sam is a part of, he tries relentlessly to adopt the post-modernist life style, which naturally won't work, it's just futile. If he would accept that he's a part of the metaphysical world, than he would be aware that death is truly not the end of living. And wouldn't therefor have the need to mourn and grief the dead friends and family members, which he assumed he had lost over the years. Which leads eventually to the fact, that he than wouldn't have a breakdown (again).

And this bears the question, why can't Sam comprehend the two opposite determining world views, which determines his life, and which actually every history and philosophy student is confronted with in his / her first semesters. Further he has in his bunker the most sophisticated occult / metaphysical library in the USA. Saying, he has all the answers to his mind boggling questions. If he would have done his studies and research than he would be aware of his out of the ordinary lifestyle, and thereby find his peace and place in the two worlds.

This brings us to the show runners of the long running series 'Supernatural'. Because what we get to see in the show is their choice and doing. And by choosing Sam to have a 'break down' again, because of the chosen lifestyle again, tells me that Singer & Dabb have absolutely no idea of what the show is about, are morons concerning the topic supernatural, and have no writing / story telling talents. 

And since the producers of the show have no clue of what they are doing, it isn't than a big surprise when a majority of viewers believe in the non-sense of happiness in a dark and unforgiving world, and truly assume hunters, who's prey is living in the supernatural realm, can live a 'normal modern' optimistic lifestyle.
