Review of The Song Remains the Same

I know this episode didn't push the story line any further and didn't provide any new answers, making it somehow naive and pointless. But What the hell? I still love it, I love every thing about it, starting from Dean's funny dream sequence and is idea of peace on earth. (It's good to see the man enjoying a nice dream every now and then when he is not dreaming about Hell) I enjoyed Sam's comment about the mustaches and his reaction to seeing his parents in a normal life. I loved the Sam and young John conversation with John describing Sam's father as an irresponsible bastard and Sam defending him and finally getting to tell his father that he understands why he was brought up like that and that he forgives him. I love the Mary/Dean/Sam scene the most and I find it very touching that the boys are OK with the idea of never being born if it means saving their parents and stopping the apocalypse. It was cute to see the boys so keen on saving their parents not caring about their own safety even going as far as seeing Sam jump in front of his mother to save her from Anna and gets himself killed. (I have to admit no matter how many times I see the boys die and not matter how well I know they will be back, I still catch my self sniffling every time I see one of them get killed)

The Dean/Michael conversation wasn't very different from the Sam/Lucifer conversation on early season five episodes yet Matt Cohen's assured calmness as Michael and Jensen's pained reaction to him, give the scene a rather fresh sensation. And I like to see Michael again.

I was utterly happy when Cas announced that he and Sam are friends and I did my happy dance when Michael killed Anna. (I never liked her and I'm glad she is gone)
