Holy Crap. I hope everyone already expects me to fangirl all over this before anything constructive comes out of my mouth right?
Okay so wow!!! This whole thing was just full of pure awesomeness and guh!!! I loved every second of it. I irritated the crap out of my sister because I kept honest-to-god squeeing and rewinding and so on. As usual, I loved the intro and I thought the flashbacks were put together excellently. Cas was a bit harsh in the beginning, but you can tell he cares about Sam. Still... "If you wanted to kill your brother you should have done it outright." Ouch.
Who freaking died when Sammy popped out of nowhere and we got a brotherly hug??!! *melts* I rewinded that, like, five times. Totally loved how when Sam found out he was back, he was all "Dean, what did you do?"
Loved the brother interactions and the whole dragon thing, and especially how it ties in with purgatory. I felt so bad for Cas, but I couldn't help but be slightly smug when Sam played him to get info. *giggles* Ah, I missed our Sammy so much.
Jared was magnificient in the episode, and Jensen, Jim, and Misha were equally as phenomenal! I'm so glad out show's back, and I can't wait for new epi's.
Oh, side note. I've been homesick with strep throat for the past few days, so life was a little sucky for a bit. Also, PST (Pacific Standard Time). Since I'm in friggin' California, most of you saw this episode hours before I did. So, I had to try and avoid spoilers while desperately counting down until 9pm here. Yeah, not that huge a deal, but I still pouted. Damn California.
P.S I figured out the damn cuts!!! Yes!!! *dances*
