I care more about Ruby than I do about Bela, if only because I'm wondering so much about what she's really after, and why. I frankly don't care why Bela's a greedy bitch ... *grin*
And it looks as if we actually will get more of the season! I have my fingers crossed so hard, I'm having problems typing!

If Ruby's news that Dean will turn into a demon isn't incentive enough, I think Sam's revelation that he's trying to become Dean will be. His life is never what Dean wanted for Sam.
And am I the only one who thought it was ironic that the WitchDemon has the exorcism spell memorized?

Did you notice that what the WitchDemon was using on Ruby wasn't the exorcism text we know? Everything they were playing with sounded like a variation on Gaelic, and that included the incantation to rip Ruby out of the body ...

I disagree about the soundtrack, but I'll leave it at that. I think they missed an incredible opportunity to give new meaning to the name of the hotel by not using "Conquistedor" by Procol Harum.
And I just can't resist. . .
(This season had better not turn out to have been a djinn-induced dream …)
Oh, I don't know. Remembering another show that turned an entire season into a dream (and if you're the same age as "I put a spell on you" You know which show I mean) I could so live with the final shot of the season being Sam surprising a naked Dean in the shower. . .

And with that, all coherent thought has fled my brain!

Hmm, I wonder what the price tag is on using Procol Harum ... that might have had something to do with it.

What a great observation. Goes back to what Casey said about hell being despair.
And I believe that now, facing the certainty of becoming a demon, he will finally have the incentive to search for a way to avoid dying and going to Hell because of his deal.
That's an intriguing idea as well. It would be a good shift for his character if he did.
I would never see Dean possessing someone else
Well, for the show's purposes that would only work if they wanted to change actors. For a fanfic writer though, what a fascinating idea it would be if he came back to share Sam's body.
I always thought that it was surprise that killed AzazelI agree. I also noted that Dean didn't try to hang on to Ruby's knife afterwards, both he and Sam left it for her. Given she helped Bobby create new bullets for the Colt I would ( ... )

I loved the way that his discovery that he's fated to become a demon played out in Dream a Little Dream of Me ...

About John - I'm not certain that his being in Hell would necessarily have given him the inside track on the demons' plans for Earth and his boys. And his goal and focus for so long was destroying the yellow-eyed demon that I wouldn't be surprised if the satisfaction and fulfillment of that goal wasn't enough to release him. He had fought so hard and for so long, had given so much, and finally had the joy of seeing his boys together and victorious ... I could see him laying his burden down. He'd been terminally tired, heart and soul, even before he'd been possessed and Dean had nearly died; I think he deserves his reward.
That said, he might still be out there, somewhere. I don't expect it, though. I like to think he's found his Mary again.
