Your comments are like my personal running dialogue watching the show last night. Exactly. We might be one person. Scary. :)
I didn't see the ending. I thought, maybe, Dean wouldn't put the amulet on. Would toss it in his bag. But throwing it away like that? Kill me now.
And really, Kripke -- best start treating them boys right. And fixing fixing fixing.
I did write a Thanksgiving story! (Thanks so much for remembering it!) Called it Happy Thanksgiving, Dean Winchester -- where Dean wants to cook a Thanksgiving turkey in a motel room microwave and Sam has to help him find a better way.
Oh, God, I felt so damned bad for Sammy this episode. Yes, I felt bad for Dean, too, but this only served to highlight how badly Sam is constantly misunderstood by everyone around him.
Dean, honey, NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU. Sam's happy memories are about a time when he thought he still had choices, a time when he thought he was in control of his destiny. It wasn't about him being away from you, jackass!
the opening, with the hunters? Awesome. Some evil part of me really, really want to see just a teensy bit of winchester revenge. I know they've got bigger problems, but man, I'd love to see the look on those guys' faces!
the fireworks thing I think was the nicest thing I think we've ever seen happen to the boys on screen, even if one was a memory. They really lucked out with that child actor...which is probably why they keep bringing him back, I suppose.
The absence of Mary, John, Ellen, and Jo means that all those nifty little fics about them rebelling against heaven in heaven are still not technically AU, so them being MIA didn't bother me, because I can still imagine them off being awesome somewhere.
Pamela - that whole thing was weird. I was half convinced she was a fake.
The problem with this show, just like another one I liked, is that it is often hard to tell if something is just clunky writing or if it's meant to be odd and is thus significant.
This episode had a few moments like that for me. It's one that I think I'll either love or loathe in retrospect once the season is over and I know how it all ends.
The Winchesters really need to start taking death seriously again. I think even the viewers are starting to get jaded about it. :P
"Knocking on Heaven's Door" is driving me NUTS! I'm going to have to re-watch the series again now. Guh. I KNOW they've already used it, really briefly.
Dean broke my heart, but mostly because he doesn't understand Sam and apparently never has. Sam doesn't want a life without Dean, he wants a life in which his choices, his destiny, is still his own.
I love Ash with so much love and I AM BEYOND HAPPY THAT HE CAME BACK FOR THIS! I also love that he turned Heaven into the Matrix.
I also love to hate Zach. He is a truly magnificent bastard. :D
I AM DEAD AFTER DEAN TOSSED THE AMULET. THROW SAM'S LOVE IN THE GARBAGE, WHY DON'T YOU?
Show has apparently left us rode hard and hung up wet.
Wasn't "Knocking on HEaven's Door" in House of the Holy (2.13)? I'd have to go back and watch to be sure...
And when Dean threw the amulet in the garbage!! I freaking cried. Because he thinks Sam doesn't love him, because the memories where he left were Sam's best memories. Come on, Dean! You have to realize Sam wasn't doing it to get away from you!! SAM STILL LOVES YOU, YOU'RE HIS BROTHER. DON'T THROW THE NECKLACE AWAY! Didn't you see the look on Sams face? No, you were too busy THROWING THE DAMN NECKLACE AWAY.
I think you're right, it was "Houses of the Holy." I wonder if there's a parallel somewhere in there, or if Show just forgot it already used that song. ;)
I want to take Dean and shake him until he sees sense.
*waves* Yeah, I share your flailyness heartbreak. :-(
The hunters at the beginning are Roy and Walt, as in the brothers Disney. ;-) And I think they got the drop on Dean and Sam because Dean or both had been drinking a lot, all the empty bottles and cans laying around. :-(
Not sure I've posted a link to my little Thanksgiving story before, if so, I'm sorry to repeat, but just in case: http://clarity159.livejournal.com/6580.html Hope you like! :-)
btw, I just know that Sam rescued the amulet out of the trash and it will return later, perhaps glowing with purpose at an appropriate God moment. ;-) I also hope Dean can wear it again someday, really believing that Sam loves him and wants him in his life. *nods, sniffles*

I CAN'T BELIEVE DEAN THREW AWAY THE AMULET!
It's basically like throwing away all of Sam's love for him.
Kripke may just as well rip my heart directly out of my ribcage and stomp on it for a while. AUGH!

B) Sam totally grabbed the amulet. He will use it to find God and lawyer him into saving the day.

I still can't believe the hunters got the drop on them, though. It has to be angelic intervention.
The fireworks made me WEEP I was so happy.
Mary, John, Ellen and Jo being missing didn't bother me at all either. In fact, I'm really glad they weren't there.
I am convinced Pamela was a fake Zachariah-plant. It was way too weird otherwise.

DISNEYWORLD.
*dies*
I never noticed the bottles and cans. Sam's sheepish/rueful expression totally got me, though. :D
Thanks for the link to your story! I'll check it out ASAP.
GOD I HOPE SAM RETRIEVED THE AMULET JESUS H. CHRIST! *hyperventilates*
