Speight absolutely sold the idea of Trickster-as-Gabriel.
Yeah, at first I was thrown and WTFed by the retcon, but it ended up working. And for some reason I am buying the whole "Oh, it's been the plan all along and we've been watching you" bit here more than I did on BSG.
I almost forwarded past the herpes commercial, but then I saw that there was a CW logo, so I was curious to see whether it was some sort of network-sponsored thing. I didn't expect it to be part of the show. Sam-as-KITT cracked me up.
Also, I was pleased to hear a song I like on the show! That rarely happens. (Anya Marina, "Move You," the song playing after the credits when Dean is watching Dr. Sexy, M.D.)
I continue to opine that the brothers' success will be a subversion of what these fates have in store for them. A great escape. Even if they end up ensuited at some point, I don't see it going the way any of the big players want. We watch to see them flout these things.
Exactly.
Also, what ita said about Dean's mancrush. Heh.
As much as I liked seeing joking evidence that Dean might not be entirely at the 0 end of the Kinsey scale, I think Sam as the Impala is my all-time favorite moment on the show.

The "ow" and "Should I honk?" were frigging priceless.
"Dean, that's...really uncomfortable."
Slam!
OMG, someone on my LJ flist just mentioned that the first word out of Kitt's...speaker was usually the driver's name:
"Michael."
I've been so focused on Sam as Kitt, I hadn't remembered that detail.
Ooh, that's a neat point, Beverly.
Also, now that we've seen that existing players in the SPNverse may actually be known members of the Abrahamic rogues gallery, who else might be an angel? Or even God?
If it weren't for the fact that Dean's amulet didn't get suspiciously warm in "Home," Missouri Mosely would be an interesting candidate for God.

THAT WOULD BE THE BEST RETCON EVER. Oh my, you have no idea how much that would cause me to gleehands.
I really do wish they could bring Missouri back. They did it with Ellen and Jo! And the gruff hunter whose name I'm blanking on right now ...
My gut feeling is that God is going to remain sort of as mysterious and unknowable as John was.
Since it can't be anyone they met while Dean was wearing the amulet they've severely limited retconnability. Unless he got a face transplant too and is running around looking like Ellen.
