By 817 with Bobby confronting Sam was when I was really starting to think that it was a strange way to handle it, because it was like the show kept wanting to tell us how OOC and shocking it was to people who knew Sam and what a great betrayal it was, yet they're the ones who wrote it that way! And for some reason Sam was never given a chance to explain himself again after the premiere's mention of him believing that Dean was dead
ETA But actually I'm not surprised that it's still coming up in season 11 lol, can I ask if it was Dean that brought it up again? Because in season 8 I noticed that Dean always has that list of Sam's past mistakes on the tip of his tongue (Ruby, letting out Lucifer, losing his soul in the cage etc), even though you would really think that would have been forgiven after Sam sacrificed himself in the season 5 finale to make up for those past mistakes. Dean seemed so shocked in the season 8 finale when Sam was suicidal and beating himself up over being a crappy brother, but then there is always that sense that Dean *is* still holding his past mistakes against him. I mean the beginning of the episode had Dean being very quick to ask just what sins Sam was planning on confessing, just so that he could offer up a list of suggestions for him....
