i saw sam react exactly how i'd expect her to react. Her character is not an effusive person, she's not the type to bounce up and down the halls or be openly emotional
now i am NOT saying that she's cold, far from it, she's just reserved and has been taught to keep her emotions in check.
How many of us, if you get bad news in public, go off somewhere private to express yourself?
and there is also the fact that sam had several days to prepare. They definitely imply a passage of time and this wasn't a horrible shock like it was in Heroes. She had time to make her peace with Jacob's fate, time to say goodbye
I've been around when both of my mom's parents died. my mom wasn't at either bedside, however in both cases she was able to say goodbye. with my grand mother (she had lou gehrig's disease) my mom visited her the day that she died, talked to her, told her that it was ok to let go and die. She passed on later that night.
it was similar with my grandfather. he wasn't necessarily ill, but we knew for about a month that he was dying. his body just started to shut down and we knew that his time was coming.
we all had our chance to say goodbye and, yes there were tears, but there was no dramatic outbursts of emotion.
Sam had time to say goodbye adn i personally found her emotions very believable and very 'sam like'
if she had turned into this weeping puddle of goo, i would have been very disappointed
