I lost my shit the most when Stan!YED showed up, no lie. It was a combination of fright and excitement, mixed with general fangrrl squee.
Sam is verah different, and it's quite intentional, I think. I don't the the Campbell family makes things "convenient" at all--in fact, I think it's going to be quite an obstacle to overcome and I think eventually it will be the Winchester Bros VS the Campbell clan. Sammy sounds different because granpops & co are bad hunter influences. They are to Sammy what Gordon was to Dean, only way less sexy. Trufax.
I'm mostly excited 'cept I'm a little leery of all the "we are the only ones to escape from hell" retconning. It makes no sense not to at least have Deanna too (other than they couldn't afford another actor) and really I would have much prefered getting Adam back. Eventually he'd had to die (again) or something because he couldn't permanently get between our boys, but it would have made some awesome angst.
Ah, glad I got that out of my system. I was too lazy to write up my own post and now I don't have to. :)
ETA: Lisa's...a difficult character. Must tread lightly with female characters in this show (especially romantic ones) but she can't step into 'Sue territory. I don't think she's a Sue (yet) but I find her being so understanding a little frustrating. I would have clawed at Dean's ear in that staircase scene, no lie. I like the actress though. She conveys a lot with her non-verbal acting.
What's difficult is that I bought it from Dean's perspective (he just wants the place markers of "wife" and "kid" and would let anyone willing fill those roles) but her's is more...sticky. I get that she wants a good role model for her kid but on the flip side I would think she'd be so concerned with her kid getting attached that she wouldn't allow someone in Dean's position (life-threatening situations, no stability, shaky past) in her home. Hm.
