Sam Winchester is such a relatable and sympathetic character that it’s so hard not to care about him. So, in our free time, we came up with this short list of just a few of the reasons why we love Supernatural‘s Sam Winchester.

We’ve already stated our love for Dean Winchester, so we obviously needed to give Sam just as much love. Like the way that parents love their children, we love the Winchester brothers equally, but for different reasons. If you’ll notice, we came up with the same number of reasons for why we love Sam as we did for Dean. It’s just so hard to play favorites with the Winchester brothers!

Sam Winchester is the sensitive and intelligent Winchester brother. We really relate to him from the very first episode of the series because the show sets it up that way. As viewers, we’re thrown right into the family business just like Sam. Also, like Sam, we can’t ever leave. We’re too invested at this point.

Sam is a caring, charismatic moose that we can’t help but adore. Here are just a few of the reasons why we love him.
