The thing I don't understand is why such an amazing thing like Sam getting into purgatory and hell was over and done with in one episode. Just the idea of Sam going into hell is pretty huge. Isn't that what they always do? I feel like whenever a Sam centered storyline is the main theme of the episode they try to push all kind of other side-stories in about what Dean is doing at the time. It's frustrating. I mean, we had more than one episode over the years that had less than 5 minutes of Sam in it. Dear writers, Jared is a big boy. He can handle an episode like that as well. I know the show is written pretty much from Dean's POV, but enough is enough. It's frustrating.
*stepping of the soapbox*
I agree with pretty much all you wrote. Especially about the things I would have loved to see explored more deeply. And that there was a lot of things that I loved about the episode.
