Sam is the sensible, empathetic, and intelligent (not to mention smokin' hot) brother on Supernatural [1], but he hasn't been getting near enough attention or praise. Cas and Dean have taken the limelight in the beginning of the most recent season with their bromance [2], which we can't get enough of. On top of that, we've been all heart-eyes over the new nephilim on the block [3]. While I can't blame anyone, not a lot of room has been left for Sam (played by Jared Padalecki).
Continue scrolling for a long-overdue Sam Winchester appreciation post — and fingers crossed he continues to bless us with his perfect bod and smile throughout future seasons.
