I'm expecting some reality-fuck, in a long-ish term way. I know Dean was our PoV character for the ep, and he was very much in the confused, angry, and armed camp, but, yeah, several flavors of wtf.
There's a definite "other side of the mirror" feeling, and the titles fit right in.
I didn't find it slow or underwhelming at all. I thought it was fascinating to look at a year out, with Dean actually enjoying the life he'd chosen (and realizing how much it had come to mean to him).
Now Sam is the one trying to pull Dean back in, which is an awesome twist on the pilot, but (to me) there are several shades of Not Right going on, and Dean's going to have get to the bottom of it. I'm happily along for the ride.
Also very glad that Lisa apparently went into their relationship with her eyes open, fighting for what she wanted ("It was the best year of my life") because I'll stand behind someone actively making that choice even if it's risky.

I really, really like the Lisa we were shown. She's not a cardboard cutout and she has agency.
Dean barefoot, in track pants, driving a truck and working construction was like a full-on assault on my libido. I understand what you're all saying, but only in the sense that I think, "OMG HOW ARE THEY SO DELUSIONAL?"
am disgusted that he's self-aware enough to say he's a cold-hearted sonofabitch, and puts the onus on Dean to keep him human without taking any responsibility himself?
I missed that conversation, and I just fastforwarded through the episode trying to catch it, and couldn't find it. Whereabouts did it happen?
He didn't exactly say that. But I think she's refering to the end of the episode where Dean says he got djinn on them by rushing out side to help his neighbors and Sam was saying that's why he needed him. Because Dean would go without thinking and Sam wouldn't think about it.
So much of what y'all said. I need to rewatch in the morning.
I'm just happy SHOW is back and I'm curious to see where things go from here.
My main thought, at the moment, is that Sammy has grown up and out of the shadow of his brother.
OK, it was the djinn woman who was the waitress at the bar.
Sam's off. Not sure why or what, or that it's bad, but definitely off. Wow. A year certainly changed the dynamic. Kind of mad at Sam and Bobby.
What were the Campbells doing with the djinn??? At least they were hiding it from the boys and not just Dean.
Yeeeaaahhhh, I feel like we should be getting more of an answer to the whys and hows of Sam and Samuel's resurrections, because... really?
Liked Lisa.

I'm pretty sure they're milking it to make anti-venom.
Mostly I didn't like that episode but the promo gave me hope for next week. I agree with all who said it felt off.
Huh. I am ... not underwhelmed, exactly, but that felt like a LOT of prologue.
I liked Lisa. She was good. I admit to a o/ when Bobby showed up. (But was also confused when he didn't try any sort of demon tests on Lisa, Ben, and Dean. That is not the Bobby I expect.)
