For me, I think it's residual trauma from season 4, but I know what you mean- so many chracters jumped into the breach when they wrote Sam pulling away from Dean. On one hand, I respected the idea of messing with the show's core dynamic, on the other hand, I thought it seemed like they had no idea how to make that change work so things felt floundery for a lot of season 4.
At the start of season 5, I'm like, "Okay, now have a big yell fight, then some ferocious make-up sex and then get back to work!" It never took, though. I mean every other episode has been "Okay NOW we're homies again. Oh, no- wait- now we're all weird again. Okay NOW we're good. Oh, wait..."
I WANT GRAND, DECISIVE GESTURES THAT STICK!
That's why I love guys in RL, that's why I loved these characters. All this vaccilating is an emotional boner killer.
