As the young people say - THIS EPISODE GAVE ME ALL THE FEELS!!! What follows is mainly meta ramblings on the character aspects of the episode and the season as a whole

I adored this episode, and this season, together with season six, has been the best I've ever watched, of any show ever.
this meta was incredibly deep and intense, too and made me think about my favorite anime of all times, KALEIDO STAR. the main character wishes for a stage without conflicts, too, and the evolution of both her, her dreams and her suerroundings resemble this A LOT.
I suddenly feel like I'm somehow deeper and more mature, after both watching the episode and reading your meta.
With Sam I think the parallel with Castiel is clearly about atonement. Agreed. They seem to share the idea that amends are made through acts of reparation (Sam jumping into the Pit, Cas taking on Sam's damage), and that it's possible to reach a point where the scales of guilt are returned to balance, and they can stop actively feeling bad. (The way Cas is acting right now, though, isn't reparation, especially not in Dean's eyes; it's avoidance. Whether he's behaving this way out of genuine incapacity--he *can't* deal, not yet--or deliberate denial, though, is the big question
