So last night I went to Toloache with
laughingirl and
jlh and had amazing food and dessert and three margaritas and then the restaurant treated each of us to a shot of tequila so i didn't get home till after ten and missed Show airing live but was totally okay with that because I knew by the time I woke up i'd be able to get it from iTunes sans ads so
I really loved it. To me, it hung together as a stepping stone to bring the boys back together and do amazing things and save people and hunt things and save the world and maybe play a little golf (and I'm just giggling that I requested "unexpected sports including golf or ultimate frisbee" as an
spn_j2_xmas prompt!).
I got so weepy when Grampa Sam showed up even though i was spoiled for him being there, because it was just so wonderfully done (and I love that Show didn't spell out that there is a possibility that they were both back because of the same name). And I loved the golf clubs being Useful and I didn't feel like either of them was wrongly OOC- I had been so nervous about the one year gap but it really is working for me. I didn't get the feeling that Dean hadn't talked to Bobby at all, just no long conversations or visits.
And I didn't get the feeling that Dean was really uber-joyously-happy with his life with Lisa. They act "together" but not like they're besotted with each other. I love the montage showing the contrasts but his drinking makes it clear that he's not happily settled; he's staying to keep them safe, not because he loves Lisa more than he loves sam.
This set the stage really well for me, and I cant wait to watch the rest of the season. Pretty unspoiled- except for ep titles - from here on out!
