Exactly the kind of crack police work I’d expect.

ah, that's right. see, i'm thinking of those two circumstances and linking them together because that fits the MAGICAL CANON in my head where sam spent 4 years at college, but still had contact with Dean 2 years in. ah hah. it all makes sense now :D

Ah, but don't you see? If Dean acknowledges that Sam was at college for four years (Like he did in Hookman) and also acknowledges that he hasn't heard from Sammy in two years (Like in the Pilot) then that fits your MAGICAL CANON perfectly.

I know, because I also share this MAGICAL CANON with you.

And? It just occured to me that Dean arrives in the pilot calling him Sammy and he seems genuinely surprised to be told "It's Sam." Factoring in the TRUTH that two years ago he talked to Sammy I think it's safe to conclude that Sammy became Sam right about the time they stopped speaking, six months (There it is again!) before starting to date Jess.

[hope]

I'm glad I'm not the only person who glomps onto that magical canon and rolls around in it like it's melting butter and I'm fresh-baked bread.

YES YES AND YES.

I love the fact that it's only after Sam's stopped contact with Dean that he gets into a serious relationship.

HMM I WONDER WHY.

love, love, love my our MAGICAL CANON.

I'm hungry now. And I think I'm honestly about to go melt butter and dip bread in it and it's your fault.

I love the fact that it's only after Sam's stopped contact with Dean that he gets into a serious relationship.

HMM I WONDER WHY.

Because Sammy loved talking to his brother until one or both of them fell asleep, borrowing his friend's cell phones when his battery died and usually spending the better part of four hours just sitting on the phone listening to Dean drive.

And then one day one of his friends, a chick, mentions that she thinks it's sweet that he's still with his boyfriend (Cause she's totally heard him call the phone Dean on a few occasions) even though he's away at college. That makes Sammy freak a little and prompts this huge Change.
