Not to mention the stuff that nearly made me rip the disc out and just beat my head against the wall: the fucking parallels. WHY? WHYYYY? Why can't the show GROW THE FUCK UP, already? Now Heaven and Hell are just reflections of Dean and Sam's big/little brother issue? This issue that is all of a sudden front page news? Now I see why they made such a stink about it in 5x05. Heaven and Hell both have a dog in this race. "Let me grow up!" "Stop being mean to me!" "You pushed me away!" "You left us!" Oh my god, show, get OVER it. I'm so sick of this growing up teen wangst. It feels uninspired and ineffective after watching Dean endure PTSD from actual hell, after watching Sam endure Mystery Spot, after watching them both endure personal tragedy and loss, after watching them make hard, adult decisions. It feels so beside the point, so Very Special Episode via Full House.
Dude you nailed it. This is exactly why this season failed so abysmally for me too.
I loved the Dean-Mary scene best too. As far as the long-awaited introduction of Michael, you're asking all the right questions.
Some very fundamental tenants of story-telling got thrown out the window this season and to this day, I don't really understand why.
