On the other hand, taking a break from s13 of SPN, some things I enjoyed from 14.01, "Stranger in a Strange Land":
- Sam turning off the intro music on the Impala's tape deck
- Okay, so Michael's got the 'true believer' creepy vibe going, better than in the AU dimension, where he just seemed angry
- First overhead shot of the bunker's war room, I totally thought it was Sam sorting bullets until they panned down and it was some random dude instead. A very effective way of emphasizing that the bunker's full of other people now.
- Jack learning how to box with Bobby is adorable
- ....And Cas is once again an idiot without any sense of self-preservation
- Jack's boxing outfit is so nice and clean, Sam must have gone out and bought it specially for him
- (Sam's trying so hard to be a good dad and a good leader)
- Cas: Why are you using me as bait? | Demon: Well, it's kind of what you're for, isn't it? -- Well, that's a bit on the nose. :P
- I suspect Sam and Dean should've ridden in the car together--they probably would've found more comfort in each other than in their respective ride partners (...and where was Maggie? In the Impala's trunk?)
- How does Jack manage to continue being so darn cute?
- Well, that was a pretty impressive fight scene -- and Sam kicks major butt <3
- Nice little detail of Sam thinking to use some of the BMoL tech--can't use it, of course, because that would make things too easy, but thinking of it makes Sam look smart. :D
- It's kind of amusing how Cas is still just wandering around the bunker all blood-spattered and banged up
- Also kind of amusing--Mary and Cas both try to fill Dean's role of "we'll figure it out, like we always do", and neither Sam nor Jack really buy it
