SPN Rewatch Season 3

Season 3 General Observations
We saw as early as the season 1 episode ‘Faith’ that Dean, despite his bravado, suffered from low self-esteem, and that played out in his decision to trade his soul for Sam’s life. Season 3 continues that theme for Dean, making the viewers hurt right along with Sam as Dean continues to devalue himself. What was fascinating to me this rewatch, though, was Sam’s character reveals, knowing what happens in season 4. This time around I could see how, even though he loved Dean intensely, Sam was still in competition with his big brother and that need to prove he was better—smarter—contributed to his falling for Ruby’s deception. Again, the first time through you don’t know Ruby’s real end game, but watching this time made me want to smack Sam upside the head and call him an idiot…sigh. Real kudos to the writers for laying the groundwork so well for the character development in the next season.
