weirdly, I kind of enjoyed the episode--I think maybe because I've given up pretending I watch the show for any other reason than Dean--though it's really for JA playing Dean--and the episode gave us some lovely flavors of Dean, including ready-to-die-right-now!Dean, buckled-over-in-pain!Dean and supercharged-jumping-from-a-balcony!Dean.

As for Sam, etc.--I just can't be fucked to care...

So, less invested, but shallowly pleased *g*
