It's interesting to see everyone's comments. I watched the episode because I wanted to see Sam and Dean in heaven. I'm so far behind that I have no real idea of what's going on. But it was still heart wrenching to watch. Makes me want to get caught up I miss the show and Sam and Dean.

We miss you and your POV in discussion, too. Catch up! Come join us!

Two thoughts on rewatch:

Mean Mary's speech patterns sound a lot like Meg's.

Someone needs to remind Dean that the flip side of Pamela's argument is that if he says yes, so will Sam, and then Sammy will go to hell and DEAN NEEDS TO CARE.

Point. While I'm all caught up with the idea of Dean saying yes and Sam staying strong, then the angels don't get what they want, do they? But if Sam says yes and it plays into their plan, they need to let him back into heaven. Uh, if it's their call.

Gah. I wish I could rewatch more of S5 to prepare for the end of it. There are nitpicks I could be making, and just can't remember the details of.

Ash wouldn't be in any people's heavens that he had never met but was able to "trespass" briefly.

Then how would he know how good Einstein's White Russians were?

I was saying Einstein wasn't a memory. It wasn't a presumption to say that Ash would be in the real Einstein's heaven because Ash could go in and out of other people's heavens as he did with Sam and Dean. When he crashed Einstein's heaven or when Ash invited Einstein to "his Blue Heaven" must have been when he had a white russian.

Sam was in that stubborn "you were his favorite golden child" frame of mind.

I would think this had to be strong in Sam with no bad reflection on Sam's character. I thought I saw it when Dean was in Dean's memory with Mary and she couldn't see Sam. Sam was ready to go immediately and rushing Dean. There was a definite jealousy thing going on and why wouldn't there be? He said it later. He never had the crusts cut off of his PB&J. There absolutely HAD to be a great amount of anger toward Dean for this reason alone.

When he crashed Einstein's heaven or when Ash invited Einstein to "his Blue Heaven" must have been when he had a white russian.

I see. What I meant was that he was crashing Einstein's heaven though, and that's not fair to Einstein's afterlife.

Sam was ready to go immediately and rushing Dean

In fairness, Sam ditched his fairytale turkey-day the minute Dean showed up, and was decently fast out the door leaving Bones behind. But I don't think he'd yet worked out how much more broken Dean was than he was.

I don't know about Einstein but I'd be relieved to have Ash come crashing through my memorex heaven.

In actuality, because we already love Ash, but the theory that anyone with a big brain and a knowledge of the occult who didn't earn hell can come by and visit my Elysian Fields? Can you get a post mortem restraining order?

Well, there does seem to be a lot of bureaucracy in heaven.

The Ghostfacers webseries looks pretty funny so far. They screened a couple episodes today at WonderCon. There is an entire shot of pictures of Sam and Dean with the caption "DOUCHENOZZLES."
