That felt...weird. (Although I suspect it was supposed to.) Sam seemed weird and Dean was all wrong. And I was worried that we wouldn't hear Lisa say anything other than "okay" to Dean, but then she called him an idiot and I felt much better about her still being written as an actual person. Things don't seem to be all hearts and roses between them, and while for Dean's sake it would be nice if it was, I prefer the realism.

Poor Dean, having Sam show up like that, and then realize Sam's been out of hell for the entire year. He was so perfectly pissed and broken-hearted. But Sam, what happened to you? You're not the same. At all. My heart breaks for both of them. They're so...uncomfortable around each other. It's painful to watch.

Very cool to have grandpa around now, though. And cousins! And family history! I like that.

After being so caught up in the apocalypse storyline, it's just hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it's over. And this ep was very clearly setting up a new story, which is very intriguing. And Dean is still very pretty.

At least Cas got a shout-out. I missed him. I need to see the pretty pretty angel back on my teevee, and soon.

Meanwhile, I need to watch this one again.

I'm. . . Hmmmmmm

Okay, I still don't buy that Sam thinks the best thing for Dean is for Dean to think Sam is IN HELL IN A CAGE.

I get that Sam would want Dean to be happy, but how could he possibly find any peace thinking Sam was condemned like that? After all, Dean's whole life was making sure Sam was okay, and I'm thinking extra small accommodations in the pit wouldn't quite qualify.

And you're so right about the weird. There has always been *something* between Sam and Dean-- be it irritation, or happiness, or companionship, or trust . . . To me, tonight showed no connection at all. They didn't even have a 'two strangers in a strange situation' vibe going.

::Chews lip:: I guess we need to wait and see.

Sam would have to be really messed up to think that's best for Dean. But to convince Bobby to go along with it?

The vibe between Sam and Dean was so wrong, but I guess that's what's going to make the part where they make up all the better. ::nods firmly::
