As always a brilliant meta on this episode. I couldn't agree more, so I won't belabour my agreement on all you've said here. But I will just re-enforce some of your points. I loved this episode -- because it did totally set us up for the run to the finish -- we know exactly where everyone stands now -- Dean, Sam, the angels, the brothers' relationship...
I also have not felt that Sam's story has in any way been sidelined or downplayed all season -- in fact, I think we have seen a lot more emotional development and exploration than in any other season. I think the problem is that most people don't like what they are seeing and therefore deny it. I think our hero had to fall -- he has not hit rock bottom yet, and I'm not convinced it will happen this season.
Dean was heartbreaking in this in his concern for everyone and his despair at being unable to substantially help anyone "make it home"....
I do just want to make a point of complimenting the actor playing Claire -- I think that this was a wonderful performance and I too was struck by the lighting in that scene...
Interestingly, I just finished a missing one shot that picks up on many of these themes....
Thank you for this!

Thank you! The next two Thursday nights are terrifying me ... and knowing that they will leave us with a cliffhanger just makes it worse. Arrgh! (But I love it ...)
