Reapers, at least on this show, do not murder people. If they did Sam and Dean would be dead as that Reaper has it out for them after killing death (God this all sounds so stupid...). I do not know the show Chapter and Verse so while I have watched every ep I do not recall the incident you mention.
And yet, a Reaper *did* murder people in "Faith" because he was under a compulsion spell by a human. And as soon as that spell was broken, he turned on that human and murdered her.
So, yes, Reapers are quite capable of murdering people and have been shown to do so.
It would help your case immensely if you stopped going on endlessly about how you loved the show best in the first five seasons (which, it seems, you barely remember), but we're supposed to fill in all the (whole lotta) stuff you just plumb forgot, and actually went back and *watched* those seasons.
Yes both of the brothers are selfish when it comes to letting each other go.
This is an opinion. And not one you've done a very good job of supporting so far.
But the inconsistency in their actions regarding one another is just the writers\show runners agenda to keeping the show running.
Seriously? Did you just start watching television?
Except early on when Kripke was running tings and the show had consistent writing (and a 5 season expiration date).
Kripke on his own couldn't write his way out of a wet paper bag. How do I know? He went on to write "stellar" shows like Revolution and Timeless, that's how I know. A major part of Kripke's "greatness" stems entirely from the solid and experienced writing and production team the network got together to support him.
Also, this show has been on longer now than it was under Kripke, which means it's past time for Kripke fanboys like you to make a decision either to accept the show as it is post-Kripke or piss off to watch some other show.
Remember Dean selling his soul to bring Sam back from the dead? And then at the end of that season (3 I believe) Hellhounds came for Dean and killed him? Sam did nothing to stop the Hellhounds. They were coming and that was that.
I'm beginning to suspect you never watched the earlier seasons of this show. If you had, you would clearly remember that Sam spent all season three doing all sorts of shady things to save Dean and that he was still doing so right up to the point where he and Dean were attacked by Lilith and her Hell Hounds.
The only reason Sam wasn't able to stop the Hell Hounds was because Lilith was white-lighting him.
Nowadays, Super Winchester would find an ancient spell or Roweena would whip up a potion or Crowley would...
Oh, sure, it's so much worse now with human Sam having to fight as a human, as opposed to those precious-as-rubies early seasons when he was a whiny super-human with demon blood powers and his very own demon-witch mistress.
AND recall the ep back in the good old days when it was revealed how many times the brothers HAD died only to have heaven restore them due their important role in the battle between Satan and Michael??
You mean that *one* episode where we found out that Sam's idea of Heaven didn't include his family in it? At all? And Dean was so hurt that he dropped the amulet he'd worn since childhood in the trash? Oh, yeah. Good times.
Law of averages is against them ever growing old but... right now the motive of the show is to keep both brothers alive no matter what happens.
In Hunter terms, they already are old. That ship has sailed, burned, sunk, and turned into an underwater nature preserve. Time to move on from that tired trope.
Sam gave up the trials as I recall because Dean dragged him out of the barn. Sam was in such bad shape he could not fight off Dean or probably even finish the trials. Nonetheless, Dean took him to a hospital where the next season picked up.
Complete and utter bollocks. Sam gave up the Trials because Dean told him he had found a better way and Sam chose to stop.
My thought regarding Sam being pissed at Dean maybe nonsense since I do not think the writers even think like that. Their job is to try and keep the show edgy while always always finding an "out" for either brother should the end be nigh (turning the Darkness into a person was horses**t. It should have remained an invisible yet unstoppable force that covered the earth in endless night - but that would have been probably too expensive to film! So we get a persona. A target. Surely it meant eventually the duo - with help - would find a way to stop it. God showing up was a cool thing, I admit, and while the Darkness was never vanquished it is no longer a threat. On to the next...).
Was this word salad supposed to mean something? FYI, if you're going to criticize writers on their job, you need to write a coherent sentence, let alone paragraph, about it.
