Supernatural : The Song Remains the Same

What is done cannot be undone

I think I liked it. But I think I would've liked it a lot better if it had been closer to the beginning of the season. I just don't really understand the point of going back - they already did that like the "THEN" showed and as Castiel said, "All roads lead to the same destination." so, uhm. Why'd they do it? After Dean was all, 'We gots to go back, yo.' Why didn't Castiel say something like, 'Hey, Deano. Remember when I sent you back in time before because I was bored and how you didn't actually do anything except get frustrated? Good times I mean for me but uh ... the same thing would happen this time around even if Sam were with us.'

That said.

My favourite part was Sam's face when him and Dean were at the door and he was seeing his Mommy and Daddy. Jared had real good face there.

My least favourite part was FakeUriel. What the fuck was with the different actor?

There were a handful of lines I really enjoyed but I can't think of any of them. Boo.

Oh.

I thought sending Dean back was to show him that no matter what Sam was going to be EVOL and Dean had better sit the fuck up and do SOMETHING about it or Castiel was going to hide Sam's body under a new building.

Which didn't make sense to me since Castiel had just said, 'You can't change the past. All roads lead to the same destination, yadda yadda God's plan blah blah wanna go play snooker, bestie?'

This of course all before Sam and Castiel became "friends" which, I'm not really sure when that happened. At first Castiel wouldn't or would barely shake Sam's hand. (Did he when they first met? I can't remember) and then from there on, I dunno, just mostly seemed like he tolerated Sam because Dean liked Sam but secretly Castiel wanted a lot more alone time with Dean because whenever Sam was around Dean focused all his attention on Sam and not him and Castiel didn't like that at all.

I've been rewatching the whole thing (had my foot operated, long story) so most things are so fresh I can actually reply with some certainty!
In "In the Beginning" Castiel tells Dean that yeah, he hadn't deloreaned him to change stuff, but that now he knew what they (heaven) did, and sort of implied "pity YED has read the Evil Overlord rules".
When Sam first meets Cas, he fangirls al over him, Cas shakes his hand with both of his and calls him the kid with the demon's blood. So yeah, not an auspicious start.
I guess in the 70 or so days Cas hasn't been on the show he went to the sassy_otp community and got the memo Sam isn't bad, just misunderstood, and perhaps he figured he's got an in with Dean is Sam helps him? Either that or he's angling for a Winchester sandwich, to which I say, God speed, Cas.
