I feel kinda lonely in my parsing of this episode.
You're not the only one.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think that there was a lot of good in this ep--the arc stuff of course, but also the Sam and Cas show, Drunken Castiel, the idea of the militia pre-it going bad, etc.
If only they had just had Dean say "and sometimes you get to kill The Whore of Babylon" and changed one or two of the other A whores to the whores. It's only a small change, but it would have made a HUGE difference.

And I ain't mad at him for calling Sammy an abomination, because he doesn't feel that good about himself either.
Sam is his friend. When he calls him an abomination he does it with love. I actually kind of loved his delivery.

I missed the previouslies, so maybe that helped my viewing of the episode. I really had no clue whose door he was knocking on. I kinda hoped it would be Missouri.

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

Because, Dean? Down with the whores. Very irritating.

I half-wondered if Dean thought Ash's explanation of "soul-mate" described Lisa. Then again, after all this discussion and season six a definite, I wonder if Lisa and Ben were planted for the post-apocalypse story arc.

I hope not. I go for the Occam's razor and figure it's the boys.
I just watched the sneak peeks on my phone and I want to cry. Especially #2. Oh, Bobby. Oh, hell, all of them.

This is better left in the realm of fanfic. I'm not sure it would be as charming played out on screen.
I got the sense Jensen looked for a way to deliver that line inoffensively. His little look to Cas when saying it seemed to suggest irony, but yeah, pretty much all the whore talk was major fail. Saying it more doesn't make it less offensive.

I agree with you completely, but after a Kripke interview, Dean's meet up with Lisa gave me pause.

Yep. It rings more true to me than Lisa did. Ash did say it was rare, yet Dean found Sam pretty easily.
