I THOUGHT THE SAME THING! It's ironic as hell that it aired right after the election.
The writers probably did it on purpose knowing it would air around the same time.
As for the episode...LOVED IT! So much fun!
First off JUST Dean/Sam.
Then all the banter in he beginning...first Dean isn't hungry then he says 'later' to pie?!
But Sammy is so cute the whole time. I really got a big brother feel off Sammy this week.
Adored Ellie...she was so much fun! I wouldn't mind seeing her again.
The son guy...I can't remember his name...did he have a name? Either way, I liked him too, Actually I ship him with Ellie.
THEY COULD WORK!
DEAN WITH THE GRANADE LAUNCHER!! OMG That was so freaken adorable! I LOVED how Sammy was, we'll get to use it soon.
Like totally trying to make Dean feel better by leaving it behind.
(that's where I got the big brother feel, or an awesome little brother feel.
And then the whole "I killed Hitler" Thing
Sammy is never going to hear the end of that one.
And of course we end with Dean wanting pie...all is right in their world for now.
