Bobby getting exasperated with the boys is just too good.

My favorite Dean moment was his quiet "Just no" early on. Under playing it heightened the tension. Also when he reminded Sam to remember what he taught him besides what John taught him.

I always expect JA to be excellent, but I still get a thrill from how much JP has improved in his acting over the series. It's been like watching his acting graduate school.

Also when he reminded Sam to remember what he taught him besides what John taught him.

Yes, THIS.

Seconding the Ruby/Katie non-hate for this ep.

And her being possessed? by Lilith explained her wonky behavior of "I can't help you now, it's too late! Hey, let me tag along and help anyway! We're in this together!"

Dean's goodbye at the end, and Sam's expression, wow. Just, such a higher level of emotional truth from both the actors. They really did bring it. And for an ep of this magnitude, it needed that, and they didn't disappoint.

Also when he reminded Sam to remember what he taught him besides what John taught him.

That killed me about three times over.

I got a happy out of seeing them do the stretchy-face thing with Sam. It's a scary-but-cheesy effect, and JP's long face just seems made for it.

Damn. Just Damn.

Random comments, in no particular order:

"Hey, that hellhound picture is by Todd Lockwood! I sure hope they paid him to use it!"

(Yes, that was from Pete.)

I am one of the few people who liked Ruby from the start, so it was nice to see her be all bad-ass and smack the boys around. I'm sad Lilith killed her off.

Dear Show, the Seal of Solomon DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. Please stop using it like that, because you're causing permanent damage to my eye rolling muscles.

Bobby is awesome. And smart.

Extra-creepy little girl! Yay! (Yeah, I like that trope, even tho' it's over-used.)

So, how many of us called Dean dying at the end of this? I know I did. Next season, let's watch Sam go crazy and accept his Dark Powers of Spookiness!

I DID

FYI, the Todd Lockwood picture is actually his rendition of Cerberus. Yes, I really hope they were smart and paid him.

I liked Ruby too, but I liked her even more when she was handing out the Winchester beating.

I totally called this season ending with Dean dead. Cause Kripke loves him some cliffhangers.

I was mildly surprised to see they actually showed us Hell, although it seemed a bit OTT.

Seemed clear that Sam fought off Lilith, at least a little. Which, once he realizes that, is going to burn: because he didn't summon up that power, whatever it was, until it was too late to save Dean.

Poor Sam. He was pretty fucked up this episode, and will continue to be for some time, I think.

Also, if that wasn't JP's real voice, he did a great job on singing VERY BADLY. Heee.
