I forgot about Crowley basically doing a twist on the "Free Candy"-Van thing in the end... xD

I absolutely adore the start to this season. Dean is finally back. Our Dean. Caring, compassionate, hero Dean, who is saving people first, not just hunting things. He tried to save Jenna, even soulless, he tried to protect Amara from Crowley, and he didn't go for the kill on Crowley either. He is trusting Sam to do what he needs to do, because of course Sam can handle it. It's not a dictatorship, anymore, it's partners, equals, doing what they can to control the situation. And Cas, Cas is just going through it (what else is new lol), but even cursed, even tortured, he is protecting Dean and Sam. Trying to keep Hannah and the angels away from them, no matter what they do to him. But (and this might be my Sam bias showing), in my opinion this was Sam's episode. Because of how kind, and empathetic and merciful Sam is, I think people sometimes forget how strong he is. He isn't just a nerdy, bookworm (although he is one, and we adore him for it). He is a hunter. He is smart, clever, and resilient as hell. As scared and alone as he felt, he tried to save every single person he could. And I love that the show let us see this episode both how powerful Sam is (finding the cure, luring the infected in, trapping them, saving them, saving himself, staving off the infection long enough to do so) but also how vulnerable. Sam is both at once, and I love that neither trait cancels each other out, or makes him seem less strong, or "manly" because he openly shows his fear, and doubt. Sam's prayer scene is so powerful, especially because of how selfless it is. He doesn't want anything for himself, just for Dean to be safe. And then, when he gets the "sign" vision... the fear and confusion on his face, his scream... just phenomenal acting by Jared. To me these first two episodes strongly remind me of season 1- a dark, looming threat of unknown danger looming over the boys, Sam, infected with a darkness (pun intended) he doesn't know or understand, giving him visions, Dean trusting and listening to Sam's ideas and plans, trying to protect everyone he can and encouraging Sam even when they are apart. Even the joke about Ghostbusters feels very early seasons. But the beauty of this being season 11, is the boys have all the knowledge and lessons learned that they didn't in season 1, which is invaluable

It is nice to see Dean be back to being a nicer sort after what he’s been through. Likewise, agreement on it being nice that Sam and Dean are back to being partners on the equal footing. Poor Castiel, though there is admiration for his continued chutzpah in keeping the angels away from the boys. The episode, juggles focus some, but yeah, it does feel that Sam is the heart of this one. And he came through on curing himself and the others. It was very nice to see that.

Between the “Free Candy” van and the Father Crowley scenes, especially his line about Dean being a scrumptious altar boy, Crowley delivered the laughs in this one. Well, he tends to do that a lot, but he was in fine form in this one.

Elisia

Sammy is so often beat up by the writers lol. It is nice, like she said, to see Sam get the win. I think he really needed that, after everything that happened in that restaurant, but also after the whole Mark of Cain thing in general

Thomas Corp

Yeah, the win was something that Sam probably needed. And again, it was just nice to see him get the win.
