As an aside, I think we DID see evidence of Bobby hanging around tonight. What are the odds that a random breeze would shuffle a bunch of old papers so that a Greek parchment that just so happens to deal with the very case they're working on would blow out where they'd notice it and go for a translation?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sam's line about Bobby -- "Because we want it to be" -- almost killed me. NOODLES.
Yes, this. Also, "just..don't get killed"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Coulda been Cas!
Emma laid a good line on Dean. She laid...Sam on him. She might have had to fight him in the hallway otherwise. I think he'd have wrapped it up if Sam hadn't come--he wouldn't have been happy, but he'd neither have let her kill nor leave. Riding shotgun is not an option.
But with Sam there, it's suddenly about family. And, yeah, he hesitated, but if it had been between Sam and Emma, Emma dies again. And Sam's not letting Emma leave the room, so it's all tied up.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Everybody already said everything I was thinking. But
You're just bigger. What? I don't know.

I'd definitely be onboard the Cas-helping-them-out-as-he-slowly-pulls-himself-back-together train. It's possible that nothing but another angel (or Death) can actually kill an angel, and what we saw happen to him in the lake was more like when Balthazar destroyed Raphael's vessel. Inconvenient, but something he can eventually come back from.

Because books.
I love how much one-on-one brother time we got last night. And also how easy it is to see the little brother inside Sam -- the one who hoots when his brother gets blown off by a pretty girl, and the one who worships his older brother ("Just ... don't get killed.").
There is also nothing better than Dean getting pushed around in bed. Totally a secret sub.

Watching Dean have sex with someone stronger than himself was a decided treat. It hasn't happened since Anna.
Now, Sam's had sex with someone stronger than him, but like the sex with Anna, you couldn't tell the power disparity.
I love how Dean threaded his fingers through hers. He's such a....yeah, I'm sure they do always take his number.
Dean/Castiel has made it to the next round of voting. Now there's a rumour that E! Online will interview the winning couple. That should get people good and stoked. Deb/Dexter's still in the running, and Peter/Elizabeth got beaten.
I saw a decent amount of bitching about the episode before and after on Tumblr last night, but I can't seem to find SPN/D/C outlets there that share my general level of pleasure with the show. It's very much the syndrome of the creator having created something more special than themselves that they can no longer be trusted to maintain, which...I rarely get that.

To be fair, it's really more like Marti Noxon Syndrome where the creator has somewhat disengaged from the creation and people are dissatisfied with how the new management is handling things.
Though I personally am enjoying Season 7 more on average than I did Season 6. It hasn't given me a peak like "Mommy Dearest" yet, but I'm generally enjoying the monster-of-the-week episodes rather than wondering why Mitch Pileggi is being wasted on pointless filler episodes.

Maybe the bitching you're seeing. The bitching I'm seeing is pretty consistent since before S6 started.
I'm not talking about the contingency of people that are convinced that Sera and Sera alone fired a weeping Misha, and that she should be punished for it. They're a different kind of crazy.
I'm talking about the people that think that Kripke doesn't understand the Winchesters, and ruined them as soon as he tanked the special kids storyline.
I'm not sure how to point out to them that for good or ill, those are the Winchesters, and that is what happened to them, and it's up to us to understand or like. Not to dictate the one true storyline.
I have tried. It generated quite a shitstorm.
