I actually liked this episode. Why? Because the brothers are back together...hunting...doing brotherly things...Dean is joking...Sam is angsting. Just like old times!!! I know it can never be like it was back in S1 or even S2, but this epi was really close. Besides the fact that Ruby is trying (and looks like succeeding) to get Sam to use his powers again. But, GAH! Brothers hunting together again! Key word being together. Did I already mention that?
But the subtext: The old man having to kill his best friend, his "brother" for the greater good. Oh man. Was that a hidden meaning for Dean???....or Sam???
Anyway, I'm off to bed. And already dreaming about next week's episode. :D

I think the subtext was definitely pointing back to season two/Metamorphosis, "If you can't save Sam, you have to kill him." I'm a little more disturbed about what Sam means by "the end." There's "the end" like the end of the fighting with Lilith (and even if they kill her, there's no reason that someone else won't stand up and take her place like how she moved in when the YED died) and there's "the end" like the final end, apocalypse, Antichrist style, which would definitely mean they wouldn't be fighting until they were sixty.

That's what I was wondering about. I can definitely see the hidden meaning for Dean, the whole "if you can't save Sam you have to kill him" thing that we kept hearing about in season 2 (and which was echoed a bit earlier this season too).

But all I could think about at the end of this episode was "Sam! what the hell are you doing??" *facepalm*
