I saw Ava in the promo too! Very exciting.
Ahaha, yeah, the Single Perfect Emo Tear kind of loses its power when there are two of them. Followed later by more crying. And several Single Perfect Emo Tears in the episodes preceding.
I'll be in my bunk.

So, you guys didn't like it?
Because I loved it. I was crying when he was sitting in his old house all "happy" and when he left and then at the end.
And I love the promo -- super excited to see THAT yellow-eyed demon and Ava and Andy.

Oh and I love that one of the pictures in his house was exactly the picture from the liquor ad in the magazine that he was looking through at the end of the episode.

I did like it, sumi. It was OTT in parts, but I did like seeing Dean with Mary and Wishverse!Sam and Jess (his overexuberant embrace of Jess was sweet and felt very satisfying -- I would have liked to see the two of them interact more).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I liked it muchly. It just took me about 20 minutes to stop watching from the hall due to my cringe issues. The last scene with Real!Sam and Dean was heartwrenching. Dean just seemed so, so tired.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I didn't hate it; I did think it was a bit draggy and a bit obvious. As with several episodes, it seemed to need 1 more subplot to avoid drawing out every single nuance in the text. I like for there to be some things left unsaid, you know? Also, this show has a bad tendency to resolve the villain at 9:42, leaving several looooong minutes of "So, are you okay about [significant flashback/dooming monsters to hell/stomping up and down the streets of Tokyo with scaly feet]?"
Joss has spoiled me for a good emotional arc in which it's not all explained step by step.

I loved the bear hugs he was giving everyone.
ION: Smallville was also very enjoyable but alot less emotionally draining. And Tom Welling looks v. good in 1940s wear. Also, he does the classic klutzy Clark rather better than I expected. John Glover looks excellent in 1940s costume too.

Now you've got me wishing they could bring in Joss to guest-write an ep for this show.

I loved the picture of John and the big fish and did you catch the picture of very young, Dean with the plaid and the makeup?
(I also liked the callback to Dean breaking into Sam's house in the Pilot.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
SPN: I loved the episode. Dean being so thrilled about being able to mow the lawn was great. But yeah, it wasn't hard to guess the ending.
Smallville: I think that was even more pointless than most special/theme episodes.
X-Posty. I didn't mean to be randomly harsh right after sumi praised the episode. It just didn't work for me. The make-up and wardrobe were well done, and I agree TW did a good job with the brief classic Clark Kent scene.
