I will love her forever, if only just for Blood Lust. I always remember my intense relief in realizing that she was writing the most hardcore, raw emotional episodes; I recall all too well Buffy the Vampire Slayer's slow and painful decent into ridiculous melodrama when a woman, Marti Noxon, took over producer duties. Absolutely no such worries with Sera! So much love!
And you're right, Sam is her baby, which is a good damn thing because she keep the character on track and pretty hardcore to boot!
I didn't think of this until you just said that, but I bet dollars to donuts that's the reason Sam jumped on those powers after Dean died. He realized his mistake. Dean being sent to hell changed his perspective hugely and he began to feel he should've listened to Ruby all along. Which is why it was so easy for him to fall into that role. He fought it still, because he was hearing Dean in his head saying, "SHE'S A DEMON, SAM!" But otherwise, he was a lot more open to the idea. That makes a ton more sense to me now, lol.
Absolutely. and, it's true, I identified with Ruby so much last season because I was sitting here watching and saying the same stuff to the screen, like, "Dammit, Sam! Stop being such a freaking pantywaist and just use your powers to stop her!" xD
Obviously, the loss of Dean was always gonna be a spiral out of control for Sam, whether it was his Travis Bickle phase as seen in Mystery Spot or his drunken decent as shown in I Know What You Did Last Summer. But that he'd start thinking, 'Damn, maybe I could have stopped this if I'd listened to Ruby,' I could definitely see Sam going there and kind of drowning himself in it until Ruby comes along and says, 'Look, it's too late for Dean, but it's not too late to get Lilith.'

This is why I freaking love this show!
