I really liked this episode too. I've been looking forward to it so much since I read the spoilers. Dylan did an amazing job. He had Jensen's mannerisms down to a T. I would have liked for Dean to be stuck that way for longer too. Or maybe for him to have to choose to turn back because it's the right thing to do more than just because Sam needed rescuing.
I must say I didn't make the link about the devil's bathroom thing but it makes so much more sense now.
When they got into their normal positions in the car I was thinking "if he's 14, isn't he too young to drive?" but it makes sense that they fell into habit. At least until Sam nearly gets squashed in the seat. I cracked up at that part. I can only imagine Jared's reaction to reading that in the script!
Jensen was adorable in teen!Dean's clothes. I am confused though that they grew a bit but that the sleeves were still about 4in too short on his arms. In any case, Jensen looked about 20 in that outfit.
Speaking of age, I find it funny so many people are saying Colin would be too old to play Sam at 14. Dylan is OLDER than Colin. Dylan just turned 20 (on Jan. 24th, how ironic is that?) and Colin is 18. I think it's Colin's height that makes him look older.
I really enjoyed the brotherly scenes in this episode, both the one in Dean's room and the one at the end. Dean desperately needs those pep talks where Sam says how much he believes in him. Hell, Dean's needed those talks for years now.
My only confusion in this episode was why Dean stuffed the hex bag in the witch's mouth before burning her. Why not shove the witch in the stove and while she's held in there, let Tina change back then burn the hex bag too?
