Just when I thought maybe things were getting lackluster, the ending left my heart pounding!
- IMPALA IS BACK!
- Meg behind the wheel? Dean really must've been desperate to get Dick to allow that one.
- Bobby gone for good now? I kind of take back being excited for his return now. His first death episode was much more worthy and honorable for a beloved character than this super-brief flask-burning ghost-funeral thing they gave us. I don't know, I'll have to think about this one.
- Crowley was being Crowley, aka Demon of Awesome. ; )
- Way to go Kevin! I liked him a lot in this episode! He may seem geeky and wimpy, but he's much more than that. Although I've a feeling that Crowley and the other demons will torture him now.
- I love Cas's thing with games! I like what it brings to the show.
- "Carry On My Wayward Son" as the opening tune. Oh Show, you know just how to win me over! Yes, it had me remembering the early seasons and smiling like an idiot. ; )
- MAN OH MAN was Dean/Jensen looking EXTRA HOT in this episode! ESPECIALLY when he and Cas go to retrieve the Impala! There's something about Dean in a leather jacket and in proximity of his baby. *cyber wink*
- The ending: My heart is pounding, you guys! Pounding! First Dick splatters all over (and the title card finally makes sense), then Sammy is left all alone and scared in the lab, and THEN when I thought THAT was the cliffhanger - we got Dean and Cas in Purgatory! Scary dark wet forest with red-eyed monsters circling! Hats off to the special fx / computer animation / etc team for that part!
While we normally call the long hiatuses "hellatus", in reference to this finale I'll be calling it "purgatus" or something along thos lines.
My poor scared separated, BUT ON GOOD TERMS THIS TIME (YAY FOR THAT), boys! *somebody hold me!*
