Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester on The CW’s Supernatural.
If you thought Jared was done shattering our hearts into a million pieces after winning your favorite male performance on television for two years in a row, think again! Sam Winchester is starting 2020 off with a heart-wrenching performance that will continue to linger with you long after watching Season 15 episode 9, “The Trap.”
**Please note some spoilers are ahead if you are not caught up on the series.**
Jared Padalecki has this brilliant way of bringing the fans in with charm and compassion. He is so effective as Sam Winchester, making you truly think that he is your best friend. He’s someone to root for against all odds and he wears his heart on his sleeve, which is not an easy thing to do when he is constantly facing angels, demons, and God.
While all of the performances on SPN are always fantastic, there is just something about Jared’s portrayal of Sam that truly resonates with me. His connection with God put him in danger and yet he still tries to hold on to that last sliver of hope, refusing to believe that there could be a world where Dean would ever give up.
Sam’s loyalty and courage make him a true hero. Even though Chuck wants to believe that there is only one end to the Winchester story, there is no breaking Sam Winchester. His dark trip to the future was revealing enough, allowing Chuck’s plan to work, but Sam is a fighter and he’s not going to give up without reaching into the deepest depths of his soul to make a difference.
Sam has made so many sacrifices along the way and now he has to pass on a chance at romance with Eileen, but I have a feeling that all of Sam’s good work is going to pay off in the end. When it comes to rooting for the good guys, Sam is the epitome of everything in this world that is worth fighting for. Perhaps he should be taking care of the world rather than Chuck, keeping us all safe from monsters while showing love and understanding to others in need.
What’s next for Sam? Well, we are pretty much back at square one now that Chuck is free, but Sam’s actions did matter, as Dean is the one to remind him that they will find a way. Sam is the glue that keeps the Winchester family together and while it will be bitter sweet to say goodbye, I know that Sam is destined for great things.
