Goofs

In this episode, Sam and deans half brother, Adam, is brought back from the dead similarly how dean was brought back from hell. This isn't possible considering at the end of season 4, episode 19 (jump the shark), dean and Sam burn Adams body.

User Reviews

ultimately the plot is too compressed

Dean toying with saying yes to Michael is a plot development that was always going to happen. Likewise, Adam being the Angel's plan B was something that should have always occurred. I don't know if it was a casting availability issue or what but both of these notions are strong enough on their own to warrant an episode. They shouldn't have been slammed together into a single episode. Otherwise this was excellent.
