So many of Dean's reactions to things in Lazarus Rising make so much more sense when you realize that to him, it had been forty years since he'd seen them.
God, yes. I hadn't even thought about it that way.
I just think if Kripke really had a five-season arc in mind, this separation makes so much sense. I mean, GUTTING, HEARTBREAKING, yes, but necessary.
They started off as family without any choice, especially for Dean, and this is the chance they've never had to decide if that's what they *want.* If what they mean to each other is more than just blood and drummed-in loyalty. Even though Sam had that chance before, at Stanford, everything that happened after Jess's death only reinforced that he has nothing but being a Winchester, and I think now it's just as important for him to figure who he is apart from that as it is for Dean.

Very much so, yes. I do wonder, however, how much they'll be in contact with each other during the separation. They do have cell phones, after all (which the show has already set up as the way Castiel will get in touch with them), and the circumstances are by no means the same as they were when Sam left for Stanford.
We made the Mt. Doom joke, about 2 minutes before the show did.
What do you even do with War's ring? Seems like a heck of a thing to have.
I'd love to see a Bronco, a Pinto...I don't have a third there, though.
So did I, DebetEsse!
A Charger!!
I loved, loved, loved the episode.
Cranky, bitter Bobby? Love!
Use of the amulet? LOVE! (But why did Bobby think John needed it? Did BOBBY know what it was for?)
Both boys figuring out separately what was going on? LOVE.
Dean girls can't say that they're making Dean look stupid - because he sure didn't.
Rufus, Ellen and Jo! Love.
More music - two, two, two songs in one episode - excellent. I hope that won't be it for the season.
Man, Dean OFFERING Sam the Impala!!! And SAM turning it down - loved both of those things.
Both boys figuring out separately what was going on? LOVE.
Oh yes.
Actually, yes to everything you said.
It wasn't a Charger! It was a Mustang fastback, like the one Bullitt drove!
I sort of hope they don't actually repeat the car gimmick, because that would be a little silly. It seems like something War thought would be funny, given his twisted sense of humor, but then again ... it did disappear with him.
And I guess horsemen do sort of have to have horses ... Hmmm.
No, I'm saying that they could use a Charger, a Pinto, A Colt. . . surely there are other horsie names.
Oh! Sorry, not quite awake yet!
Did everyone hear my scream of frustration just now? I went to rewatch and the tape went fuzzy right at the first commercial break! Someone must have sat on the remote. Probably ME.

I prefer to think Castiel was trying to talk to you.
