The song at the beginning was "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" by the Animals. Highly hilariously appropriate, yes. (And I get the Wolfenstein joke! Never played it myself, but my guy friends did, that and Duke Nukem. I went more for Oregon Trail.) Poor bb Samandriel. :( :( Maybe rescuing him will be on the agenda next time they run across Crowley. I have to wonder about the way they brought up Chuck and Metatron. And yeah, if Metatron "took his leave," where did he go?! I wonder, too, about Cas' version of that last second. I don't doubt that he did want to stay and that he did let go, but is his version any more accurate than Dean's? Either way, though, SO glad Dean actually said what he did and that Cas responded as he did. Not sure whether the abandonment issues will come into play, but he did need to hear that a) it genuinely wasn't his fault and b) failing to save someone isn't necessarily a personal failure. It would be nice to see someone fill the role for him that he and Sam filled for Bobby without knowing it, but considering that the universe is out to get Sam and Dean, it probably won't happen. :( Yes, Amanda Tapping was on Stargate (Col. Samantha Carter, who rocks), and she was also the lead on Sanctuary. She is a good actress; that was just a very short scene. :D And you're probably not wrong. I probably had some other rambling thought to offer, but it's stupid o'clock and I'm just hanging on to find out whether I can hand off a delayed project to someone in a more sensible time zone (perils of working on European time in the US!), so I'll quit.
