I had no expectations going in - though I heard sounds of squeeee around the place before I watched.
I saw your post and I agree that D&L have delivered some pretty dire episodes (well, Yellow Fever mostly for me). I was worried when I saw they had written this, but I actually got a lot of enjoyment out of it. Not sure how it fits in with the character arcs this season but I did some hand waving with that this time.
i went with "meh", as well, because hello filler episode. pretty much nothing happened (though i laughed SO HARD with the unicorn - i love it when they refer to the older eps and they did it brilliantly here). i have to say, though, that dean laughing about sparkly!sam is probably one of the most beautiful sounds i have ever heard and i love that sam seemed to think the same thing. the last two eps were better on the brotherly bonding than all of season six was. that makes me happy.
It was a solid story (even if a filler and it didn't really progress the overall story arc) that was packed out with too many desperately needed moments of light heartedness and smiles and brotherly bonding and bickering and bantering to not be described as AWESOME. Seriously Sam was smiling at Dean within about 15 seconds of his opening scene with him - dimples so loud you could even see them as he tried to hide his grin by looking down. And the smiles continued! Dean full on body laughing, his big brother advice that became Sammy's mantra, the slinky present, the total bonding over the weird that is their lives. GAH!!! Just too much fun stuff to not be awesome. Think this may move into my Season 7 top 5. I need to review that list I think. Thanks for sharing it with me today.
I chose pretty damn good, the last scene with laughing Dean made me all warm and fuzzy on the inside. I'm torn about the unicorn shitting rainbows and all that stuff. On the one hand, it was hilarious, on the other... fan service much?
I voted AWESOME - because? I've been so bloody depressed for them, so maybe it didn't make that much sense from the gloom and despondency of last week, however, just watching them arse around and smile and joke with each other, to have fan humour IN the show rather than aimed out at fans, to have Sam covered in colourful glittery shit with a matching grin, a full out laugh from Dean and a rainbow shitting unicorn ON THE SHOW? Yeah, made me smile, made my day - AWESOME it is.
Yeah! So good to be able to smile along with them and get to see them not being so troubled. Though I love that as well. A balance is a good thing. We need to see some reasons why they just don't end it all. There are times I think it would be just easier for them to just give up. (Which they can't do of course!)

So much awesome in one ep. It was a really good episode to share also - so much to laugh and swoon over.
I worry (though, not really..*g*) that this might be the calm before the (angsty) storm.
Bring it!

The unicorn was most definitely for us. I mean, what kid has a fear of rainbow shitting unicorns? Hee..
