Well...I like the idea of having Dean kiss sleeping Sam's forehead to echo the pilot; that would have been beautiful (if censor-baiting.) And Sam in full flight is certainly breathtaking. On viewing this episode, my husband (far more likely to be able to constructively criticise Show) thought it would have packed more of a wallop to have had Sam walking and all-out sobbing, child-style, after absorbing I-remember-Hell!Sam.

Husband said thankyou! and believes you are correct, TV would be much better if he wrote it! (yes, the super-humble type ;)
Thanks for the review.
