All Hell Breaks Loose, Part Deux
From TWOP:
Portal to hell? Buffy flashback, anyone?
Yes! I was screaming "JUST CALL IT THE HELL-MOUTH, ALREADY" all night.
The episode did have some bright points, but the ending felt so out of sync.
I'm also glad that they didn't drag out the Sammy-in-the-dark ordeal, and that Sam is going to take it upon himself to save Dean, but the deal-with-the-devil might get a little old. Hopefully they'll wrap it up by sweeps? I don't see how we can have any humorous episodes when Dean's death is hanging over our heads (and really, I melted at Dean smiling, but why? It just didn't gel).
Also, I really don't think they should have called back to the pilot so soon. If Kripke didn't think that was his last episode (and they way he was setting it up, I don't believe he did) then he shouldn't have wasted such a perfectly good classic show shot. Those should be really saved (i.e. Gilmore Girls).
For the most part, though, I am satisfied with the episode, while still a little underwhelmed..if that makes any sense whatsoever.
So..yeah. I don't really have much to add except that I COMPLETELY MISSED THE HUG. Damn you, Kripke. Couldn't you have thought of something slightly more creative?
ETA: Is it wrong that I just came up with the idea that the crossroads demon actually only gave Dean one day, and that next season will become a Supernatural 24? I don't even watch that show....but it would be kind of awesome, right?

The hug wasn't a totally mutual clingy hug. DAMN YOU KRIPKE.

Yeah, people on TWOP were talking about the hug, and all of the sudden it hit me! I felt so stupid, but the hug just seemed to slide right in there and it felt like a natural time to hug. I didn't remember that these were the Winchesters we're dealing with!
