SPN 6:07: Family Matters
I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'm going to keep this short.
1. I have to assume that in SPNology, the "soul" is not the unique and brilliant spirit that is the essence of our existence as sentient beings, our connection to the infinite mystery of the universe, and indeed, that which was created in the very image of God, but is more like...that little frontal lobe of the brain that would have gotten sliced out during the old-tyme lobotomies. Because their concept of a soulless person seems to me like someone who's had a partial lobotomy or is just kind of numbed out on Thorazine or some other sort of CNS depressant.
2. I highly doubt that Dante ever wrote anything about vampires going to Purgatory.
3. Okay, so let me get this straight. Crowley pulled Gramps out of heaven because he knew that Gramps was the greatest-ever authority on all creepy-crawlies and so, was the one human being in all of history who could help him find Purgatory, which Crowley apparently wants to...colonize. Or build condominiums in. Or something. So Purgatory is like...the new Brooklyn. Crowley yanked Sam's soul out of Lucifer's spiderhole so that he could use said soul as leverage to keep Gramps in line. Gramps is going along with all this not just for Sam's soul but for some as-yet undisclosed motive, which I'd suspect has something to do with springing some loved one from Purgatory (my money's on Mary Winchester). Yeah??
4. When Castiel told Dean that his problems always come first? I don't think he was being sarcastic. He just loves him so very, very much.

I was thinking Mary was in Heaven, because we saw here there in Dean's Heaven, but I guess that doesn't mean she herself is actually there.
What I thought was going to be revealed was that Gramps was pulled out of Heaven by the other angel faction, which would explain why he's kind of contemptuous of Cas, calling him scrawny. Gramp's mission was to be an informant, questioning all these supernatural guys about those missing heavenly artifacts that both sides of the civil war are looking for. Crowley blindsided me, but I kind of like it. His evil businessman approach to annexing Purgatory does sound like him. How he got to be King of Hell will be interesting to hear. I'm guessing it was more along the lines of backstabbing alliances and blackmail than just might.
And there we go again with the 'Dean isn't really cut out to be a Hunter' vibes, with Dean having to stay back out of the main action with the Wimmen folk.
And that Alpha vamp wanted him. I could tell.
Cas playing doctor was cute, and I bet he got his doctor skills from watching Dr. Sexy. MD with Dean while hanging out in motel rooms with him.

Yeah, I got the impression that everything they experienced in heaven was, as Dean put it, the Matrix. Ash was really in heaven because Ash interacted with them as themselves, in the present reality, but when Dean was in that kitchen with his mother, that was just virtual reality -- his life on rewind. Honestly, I hated that episode. That was the worst heaven I've ever seen in fiction. How could purgatory be any worse than THAT?

See, now THAT would have worked better for me than this purgatory business. I'm sorry but annexing purgatory doesn't make any sense to me, I'm just not buying into Crowley as King of Hell and if Gramps has other motivations for working with Crowley, then I don't even understand what Sam's doing in the story at all.
And really, Dean's a "reject" now? A reject from what, exactly? At least we figured out why Christian's such a douchebag, but what's every other Campbell's excuse?
