Excellent! I loved it. Dean may have lost faith in himself and in Sam, but Sam hasn't lost faith in Dean. By Sam letting Dean go, Dean hung on. YAY, BOYS!!
Lots of tears in this one for me, lots of hurty stuff, but I think there was a nice pay-off at the end.
I'm kind of sorry to see Zach go. He was a deliciously nasty piece of work - Azazel-nasty. And it now seems that Michael is a monumental dick.
I was spoiled with the Adam thing and dreading it a bit, but pleasantly surprised. I never thought Adam could be a vessel for Michael. They made a point earlier that the union of John and Mary was top priority, as were the births of their sons so they could be vessels. (Not exactly free will if it's being manipulated from above.)
I'm wondering if the disappearance of Adam is a set-up for season six. I hope not. I hope that Michael just tossed Adam back into Heaven.
On another note, my "love" of curtain fic (as I'd experienced in Stargate fandom) was said tongue-in-cheek, as what I've seen there is breathtakingly bad and, in some cases, laughable. While I can see and appreciate slash in other shows, I'm strictly a gen gal in Supernatural world.
::sigh::
I am happy!
Sammy, Sam, Sam, Sam. I don't know who's going to work out the
thing
that saves the world, but Sam will save the emotional throughline. I don't believe he will say yes. He is just self-righteous enough, and god-damnit, he believes in his big brother.
Watching that realisation dawn over Dean's face was beautiful. He'd been pissy and cruel all episode. He deserved to be beat down by Cas. Dean's been functioning as a leader, and people look to him. And this episode he's been trying to commit suicide and dress it up as saving some of the world.
Cas on fire (almost literally) tonight, starting right out of the gate where he turned those angels' weapons against each other. And going into his lover-intimate betrayal fight with the tender ending.
Poor Angry Bobby, quite probably the town drunk, hacking it day to day in Lethal Weapon fashion.
Adam, Adam, Adam. I can't blame you for being pissy--we could have gotten an extra 20 minutes out of who loved who and how. Why not believe the angels? Until you don't, and until Dean can't save you.
Zachariah, you stuffy old bastard. Nice go with the second chance thing. You were so very close. If it hadn't been for the dewey bromance stare over all the spilt blood, Michael might have gotten his clothes. Did you really call them erotically codependent? My brain might have to explode.
And canon eyesexing!

Things like this are why I am freakishly spoiler free for this show. The little things that I hear just enough to dread or wait for it. I am much happier knowing nothing. I often skip the promos even.
Psychotically, irrationally, erotically codependent
There's a phrase for the ages. Thank you show. Fangirls are reeling. We barely even register Sam cuffed injured Dean to the bed.
And Castiel took off his tie! While Dean watched, closely!!!
Eh, Sam cuffing an injured Dean to a bed. When doesn't that happen?
I mean ... right?
Also didn't Dean say something to Castiel along the lines of "Normally when someone looks at me like that I get laid".
Boy the writers really want to make sure you don't miss the "Angels are Dicks" thing. I'm not sure, but did Zach pick a bar to wait for Michael because if he was going to die he wanted to take some mud-monkeys with him? And Michael didn't even go to any trouble to ask Zach to move. Not worth the trouble to delay the conversation a few minutes just to save the lives of a couple of mud-monkeys. And all that Dickishness BEFORE they start mistreating Winchesters.
I heard "neurotic" rather than erotic. The subtitling could be wrong, but then again so could I - very easily. And I'm outnumbered in terms of how people heard it.
