I agree with so much of this - I prefer this to be all about Sam and Dean all the time, but I did start to develop a fondness for this crazy version of Cas, and his scene with Dean about forgiveness was undeniably touching. I liked Cas in that moment. Of course, now that Cas is probably gone, but yeah, for a little while there...

That said, I really hope Dean is alone in purgatory, and Sam alone up there trying desperately to find him. That has potential, the boys clawing their way back to each other -- and Sam having the opportunity this time to rescue Dean. Mmm, think of the fic :)

I wish Dean and Sam had been driving the Impala, but that was a cool scene. And I think I'm ok with Bobby really being gone now, as much as I love Jim Beaver. It felt like...time.

Your review made my SamDean OTP little heart feel a bit better -- thanks for that :)
