User blog comment:ImperiexSeed/Sam's NOT the hero of the show!/@comment-3481504-20150711095115

There's no need for Sam's character whose very presence in the series pointless. Would've been a much better show if Eric found a way to write it without him. One of my very least favorite characters in all of fiction and literature. Everything Sam can do, Dean can do, even with technology, Dean knows it well enough that he could get by without Sam. In one early episode, Dean even said he let Sam get the save because he didn't want him to feel useless. All the time Dean spent in Purgatory, made him into more of a terrifyingly talented fighter than he already was, easily making him the deadliest hunter in existence.
