Wait, so they've already been to the Grand Canyon? In so very many fanfics that's held up as "one day we'll get to go to The Grand Canyon" in the sense that it's a goal for either when they retire, or one that they know they'll never quite reach.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

There was some fun stuff in all the blood and pain.

Because books.
It seems like John took them to the Grand Canyon when they were so young, though, that neither one of them really appreciated it.
Who wrote this episode? I loved the callouts to John, the not-totally-terrible dad.
So much happened! Big stuff! And yet, I keep focusing on Dean reading to wee!Sammy, and Sammy feeling that he wasn't pure, even as a kid, and Kitchen Sink Stew. LOVE.

I kind of like that Metatron isn't one of the big archangels, but just their equivalent of a regular Joe that Yahweh tapped to take dictation. Though, no knock on Curtis Armstrong's acting, but I was really stoked when it looked like he might have taken a Native American body rather than a Caucasian one like 3 out of 4 archangels and the vast majority of other angels we've seen.

Did I hear somewhere that this episode has all kinds of Shining references, too? Or maybe I dreamed that.

Me, too. I was sure the Desk Clerk would be him. Though for one brief second as they were creeping around the stacks of books I thought "please let it be Alan Rickman".

It's in CO; I said "Jesus, it's the Overlook" as Sam was reeling down the hall.
Are host bodies just...purely juiced by angel power? How human can they be, if Cas can use one as a walking, talking storage unit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think you can use Cas' host body as an example for anything, given the number of times he's died. But if a demon can animate a body that would normally be dead, I'd imagine an angel could operate one whose insides had been replaced by rock.

I know it's in the interest of dramatic tension, but it kind of bugs me that Cas (and now Naomi) never use any of their big ticket angelic powers like stopping time or zapping from a distance when facing down Crowley. Having an angel blade (or bullets forged from same) should not make him their equal in all respects.

I don't like what the angel bullets do to the power dynamic. I like that Crowley's all thinky and stuff, but since the blades seem to be an infinite resource, I don't like the tilt.
