(D'oh...my comment is to long. Have to split it in two...sorry!)
Whew...WHAT an episode! I left a largely incoherent take on the episode here last night, so a lot of my reactions are there. Adding to that after seeing Tina's review and other comments:
what was the deal with the demons escaping from Hell being able to cut through the railroad tracks like butter?
I was thinking the same thing last night, but somebody commented that a lot of things other than demons probably got out of that door. John proves that; maybe even some good things got out, which would certainly be intriguing. At any rate, something evil other than a demon could have broken the devil's trap to let the demons out, I guess. That's the only thing that really makes sense so far, anyway, but who knows if it's really true.
As always, Tina's review is awesome. I talked a bit about John's appearance in my entry last night; untimately, I think I was satisfied by it. I am sad that he wasn't there for longer and that he didn't say anything, but I think it was more effective that way. We all know how much these Winchesters like to not say things, especially important emotional things, so I think it was fitting that he didn't say anything. Also, I was really careful to avoid anything that might tell me whether or not JDM would be back in this episode. I knew that they were trying to get him for it, but after I found that out I actively avoided anything that might tell me either way, so I think that made it better because I didn't have as much build-up for it as a lot of other fans did.
I also think it's fitting that he died for good, too. I'm very sad that it's certain we won't be seeing him again, but I can't imagine him being fully resurrected after everything that's happened and having it work, considering JDM's busy schedule. He'd only be able to be in episodes occasionally, and I can't imagine the boys being split up from their father if they were all alive again. After everything that's happened, if John was alive, they'd all want to be together.
