This is why I love this show and why I refuse to give up on it. Because, with the right writers, it is capable of being so amazing, so funny and touching at the same time, and is just such a joy to watch.
Technically this is a filler episode, since it does not advance the plot in any way and yet this is the best Supernatural has been in a long time. Thank you, Robbie Thompson and Thomas J. Wright (the director) for bringing this to us!
The episode is completely from the Impala's point of view, which is a risky move and shouldn't really work, but surprisingly it works beautifully. Also the focus of the story is not on the case but on Sam and Dean and their relationship (thank you for that). We haven't seen them act like brothers in a really long time but here they are having fun, being brothers, having serious discussions with each other, and it is exactly what I needed this show to do.
Seriously, this episode makes me smile and laugh and so happy that I'm actually crying. I think my favourite scene is a tie between the boys singing Night Moves and Dean fighting with the ghoulpire while Cas is still talking to him on the phone.
So that was Michael appearing to Sam, yes? I'm guessing that based on the fact that Matt Cohen has played both John Winchester and Michael. And if it wasn't John, then... Though I guess, for symmetry's sake, it should be Lucifer appearing to Sam instead of Michael, but I'm still saying it was Michael. And yes, it is possible it was something completely different using John's appearance (though in that case, why use young John and not Jeffrey Dean Morgan, unless he wasn't available?) but I'm sticking with my idea that they'll need the two archangels stuck in that Cage to defeat the Darkness. And maybe find a way to bring Gabriel back as well. And hopefully Chuck as well.
Also, I love that the episode found a way to make Cas an important part of it without him actually appearing in it.
Let's hope Dean can fix Baby, she really got the short end of the stick in this episode.
That's all I have to say about this episode. I loved it, I love Robbie Thompson's writing and I sincerely hope this is a sign that this show is getting back to being awesome.
