Was it you I was talking to about the scene where he was working out and how I thought that was a nod back to The Third Man and a shorthand way of saying Sam was losing his soul in that place?

I don't think so. I LOVE THIS IDEA.

though I'm not suggesting he thought of it this way consciously, I think the division between Mary and Dean over BMOL presented him with an opportunity to 'get Mom's attention' by 'picking her side'.

Hmmm, very interesting.

Possibly interesting addendum: at the end of Criss Angel, when Sam goes to meet Ruby, he tells her "I'm in." Exact same words he said to Daniels. Hmmm. *strokes chin*

ALSO VERY INTERESTING! And I believe his state of mind then was "this is a bad thing but I have to do it in order to achieve the good thing," which makes a lot of sense in context.
