So I have only seen it once and half the time I couldn't hear what anybody was saying BUT I still liked it a lot!
Random things in random order:
BOBBY!! *wibble*
I love love LOVE Bobby and Old!Dean arguing. I thought it was interesting that Bobby consistently treated Dean the same but, when Dean was older he was ruder than we have ever heard him be to Bobby. I also love that when Dean finally got back to his proper age he apologized for calling Bobby an idiot.
I agree with most of the fandom: the Bobby-Dean talk was long overdue.
In my head I compare this episode with 'Fallen Idols.' The plot was simple and the main focus of the ep was to address the emotional issues of the characters. In 'Fallen Idols' it was to fix, for the lack of a better word, SamnDean. This ep was about fixing Bobby.
OMG! Sam's puppydog eyes of DOOM actually saved Dean's life!!!! The fangirls were right about the power of the eyes!!!
I have also been hearing all over fandom about Sam using what other people perceive as the Winchester's weakness(i.e. their love) and turning around and using it to win the poker game. I agree. Bravo Sam!!!
I also LOVE that Sam didn't blow Dean and Bobby off and go join up the poker game by himself. This definitely showed how much he has grown and that he really did learn his lesson. Yay Sammy!!
Overall I liked Old!Dean but some scenes felt weird. Like while they were in Patrick's apartment and he catches them. They sort of just stand there and take everything he dishes out. Idk but it was just weird.
ANYWAY! It was great but I can't wait for next week!!
