So that's why there were "filler" episodes... they had to save up for the NINE TONS OF PLOT in this one!

Michael is really starting to piss me off.
I was thinking that it was about time that someone started insisting to Dean with the same sort of knowing vile inflection that he'll say yes that Lucifer uses when he speaks to Sam.
On another note, has anobody kept a running tally of the number of times the guys have been killed?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Okay, Mary's whole "angels are watching over you" line just became hella creepy.

Very much so! I love how the erasing of John and Mary's memories seemed less like a narrative cop-out to restore the status quo and more an upping of the stakes. The Michael-Dean confrontation was fantastic.
What really broke my heart, though, was the conversation between John and Sam, and John's horror that Sam had been raised as a hunter. Guh.

I was hit by Mary's immediate horror at the thought that she had raised her boys as hunters, even though that was the very last thing she had wanted for her children.
I appreciated the conversation between Sam and Dean where they're discussing how both sides are convinced that they'll say yes to being vessels, and Sam pointed out that John said yes to being Michael's vessel. Because maybe Dean won't be quite so hard on himself if he keeps in mind that the inflexible John Winchester yielded to save someone else too.

That was such an amazing exchange. Although Sam's first meeting at the front door with his parents was achingly beautiful. God, so much there that I could relate to on a personal level. Sam's reaction was perfect!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whoah. That was creepy and chilling.
I'm going to have to think of that guardian angel as Castiel to keep it not so bad...
That was quite the punch. I mean, I knew Sam couldn't stay dead, but I really didn't appreciate watching him like that. And I was kind of surprised that Michael didn't even try to wager for him. I guess they know how implacable the boys' need for each other is, but also where they've reached this season.
So sad John being de-virginated and then knowing he's going to have to learn this all again sometime. And then Dean making the flat decision to tell his mother the truth and the lack of hesitation to wipe both of them out of existence. He needs Sam revived (he's not living without him), but if they'd both never existed? Would he have suggested Mary leave John with just Dean?
