There was so much to process, my brain short-circuited a few times. And so much angst. And so many callbacks!
The angel thing at the end gave me an actual chill.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just want to reiterate that that Mary/Anna fight was COMPLETELY BADASS.
(...And hot?)

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

It was Castiel, okay? Okay?

I am sad Mom and Dad didn't get to meet Castiel, even if they were going to forget him. He's looking out for their boys as much as he can. Misha's really not getting much to do.
eta: OMG. Trailer for next week. Alky Dean...Sam with bloodface. Man, the first synopsis of this episode I read sounded haha funny.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Mary with the knife was completely badass and hot.
(ita, please don't tell me if she was doing it wrong)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Mary with the knife was completely badass and hot.
Esp. knowing she's fighting while knocked up.
Which puts this episode at probably late May, early June 1978.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I thought Anna did a complete 180° from her former characterization. Previously she'd been the one arguing for the end not justifying the means. While Castiel has a personal stake that's prompted him to rebel, I'd expect her to do so out of a desire to do what's right, and murdering innocent people in the name of expediency shouldn't fit that bill.
Also not thrilled with Michael's revelation that the Winchesters have some extra-special blood that makes them suitable hosts. I much preferred it when it looked like the echoes of Dean & Sam's relationship were what made them the perfect agents to act out his issues with Lucifer.

I'm actually a fan of sacrificing the few to save the many, so that transition doesn't seem out of place to me.
As for the magical Winchester blood--they're not the only extant brothers with daddy/sibling issues. Why can't any of them be used as vessels instead?
Michael's line about raising Lucifer is kinda hinky. Angels need raising? That's taking the parenting metaphor a bit far.
