Upon rewatch:
- I love that they steal a car and nothing is made of it.
- God, Sam's face at the door.
- How do they know where Anna has lured John?
- Good thing angels like to play with their food, or this would have been a much shorter episode.
- Dean trying to protect John is adorable. And exactly the sort of thing John apologises for later.
- Sam and Dean so quickly assenting to never being born is chilling.
- Mary cries beautifully.
- How did Uriel smudge the sigils and mess with the holy oil?
- How does Michael ask John's permission without killing him?
- Dean was willing to not have Zachariah heal Sam, right? No hesitation about insisting Michael do it, though.
- Didn't Castiel say that being Michael's vessel would fuck Dean up more than most vessels? Mistaken? Someone lying? Change of plan?
But the biggest questions:did Anna really escape or did Michael send her? Which time version of Michael appears to Dean?
How did Uriel smudge the sigils and mess with the holy oil?
I wondered that, too.
How does Michael ask John's permission without killing him?
They don't have to kill the vessel's owner. Jimmy was in there with Castiel in the beginning.
But how do they ask? How do they communicate? They can't talk to them.
Wasn't John unconscious? It was probably that dream walking thing they do.
It was probably that dream walking thing they do.
Like when Lucifer appeared to Sam.
Is it possible Michael will ask Sam to be his vessel and Sam agrees?
I've maintained this as a possible delicious twist. I don't think Michael would be fazed by the demon blood. When you think about it, demon blood was created by an angel.
Itunes hasn't made this ep available yet. WHY????
It's there now and has the old title of Back to the Future II.
In other news, SpoilerTV reports that Supernatural will go on hiatus after the Febuary 11th episode and won't be back till March 25th, and they will have no breaks until the season finale on May 13th.
I thought we'd get a mini-break for the Olympics, but really? Six weeks??
Freakin' annoying.
As a data point, my BF and I were talking about the episode, and his opening comment was that he found Anna's arc unsatisfying.
