Either Sam is actually properly Sam, in which case I want him to feel more like SAM (and less like Jared) or if he is part of the set up also and thus isn't totally Sam, I want Dean to be showing more obvious signs of suspicion/distrust, even if he's keeping it from Sam.
Exactly. I'm totally behind the that's-not-Sam-theory -- my first words when he came on screen was "he still has Lucifer eyes!" -- but... really, Dean doesn't pick up any of this? He doesn't do any "is it really you?" tests, just accepts the salt and holy water as good, and moves on? No, "Dude, I get that being in the Cage will do a number on a guy, but you're a total dick now?" How... average.
