I HAZ A THEORY!

[switch842]

So, there are lots of theories and ponderings floating around about Sam and why he's acting the way he is and what could possibly be wrong with him.

My favorite current theory was put forth to me by brihana25 (see post here). In it, she states that she believes Sam is actually suffering from some sort of fractured personality. That he's basically two people - the Sam we know and love who would want to save Dean and some kind of Not!Sam who is just really curious about what happens when someone turns into a vampire. Kinda cool, right? I think so.

Then, I was just talking with whisper99 in chat and we had the following conversation:

whisper_elf2006: I am wondering if he's not Adam
Switch: that's interesting. they get mixed up in the cage?
whisper_elf2006: i guess
whisper_elf2006: sam would be nice enough to give Adam his body
Switch: Oo! Or...
Switch: what if it's a combo of that and bri's theory?
Switch: his split personality is Adam and Sam
whisper_elf2006: oh snap
Switch: huh? huh?
whisper_elf2006: wow
Switch: dude, if i'm right??
whisper_elf2006: that, yeah, totally I could see that
Switch: that would be AWESOME
whisper_elf2006: that would be fucking fantastic!
whisper_elf2006: except that would make adam a dick
whisper_elf2006: lol
whisper_elf2006: but still
whisper_elf2006: very good possibility
Switch: well, adam kind of was a dick
whisper_elf2006: it would kinda fit, dont you think? With Sam having run out after Dean, you could see how he was pretty frantic, right? Then he gets there and it's like he changes, has this look (lustful IMO) on his face when Dean is getting vamped
Switch: Yes
whisper_elf2006: it could have been Sam running frantic, then Adam taking over right at that moment
whisper_elf2006: oh damn
whisper_elf2006: and also, Sam not remebering the conversation with gramps
Switch: Yup
whisper_elf2006: and if Sam has no idea
whisper_elf2006: maybe Sam and Adam are sort of mixed up together somehow, so they aren't exactly distinct personalities
whisper_elf2006: Sam would have wanted to leave Dean alone, Adam wouldn't have cared one way or the other
Switch: I must tell Bri!!!
whisper_elf2006: I like that theory
whisper_elf2006: that's my new canon :)
Switch: thank you :D
Switch: woohoo!!
whisper_elf2006: hee :)
Switch: i am a GENIUS

So, there ya go. The reason that Sam is acting so strangely is because he's actually Sam and Adam. He's Sadam. LOL :-D

I like the split personality theory, but idk about it being Adam. Because while I can see him being curious about the effects, I can't see him having that motivation to hunt down Alphas, and this current very strange acting Sam seems to have some sort of an agenda. In some ways, he IS Sam, just with all his empathy and compassion removed, because Sam has a cold SOB streak in him. As a lot of people have pointed out, Sam is 9000 times more like John than Dean, with the obsessiveness and goal-oriented tunnel vision. We've seen with "Mystery Spot" that with enough trauma, Sam can turn into a machine. I don't think it's solely PTSD at work, mind you. I do think there is something literally wrong with Sam. Perhaps that is the issue: most of Sam came back, but not his "soul," the compassion that tempers the inherent coldness in him.

Well, "Adam" could be being influence by Grandpa Sam and possibly going along with that because he though that's how Sam might act. And the longer he's topside, the more he develops his own "personality" to go with that.

I so agree with you about Mystery Spot Sam and that potential is there. But what we're seeing now doesn't seem to be quite that. I don't think even MS Sam would just stop and watch (with glee) while Dean was turned into a vampire. There is something VERY WRONG with the Sam we're seeing.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Well, either way, I just hope they don't forget about Adam. -_-

Oh yeah, I'm with you in thinking that there is something seriously wrong with Sam, like he's missing some bits, or he's not himself entirely. URGH I HOPE THEY TELL US SOON.

I KNOW! I MUST KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!!!
