Right. So. It took me a bit to get around to this ep. I just lost my dad a week ago, very suddenly and unexpectedly, so I was obviously already in a super emotional state. But I went ahead and watched bc wtf, it's there and I already pretty much knew what was going to happen.
The flashbacks, just like any other time Show tried to put Mary in a position where she talked about parenting or kids or being a mom, just really sat wrong with me. Like, she knows nothing about parenting. She knows nothing about Dean and Sam, compared to pretty much anyone else in their life.
I wish Jack weren't being set up as S15's Big Bad but my wishes aren't really coming true these days. (Except I wished for that blue and orange plaid shirt and now I own it, how do you like them apples?)
Also, please give Sam at least one point for changing into a clean and more subdued shirt for the funeral pyre.
RE: Heaven - I doubt she's really with John. When they first brought her back, she said she'd been with John and her very small children the whole time she was in Heaven. I was confused as to how she ended up in Heaven to start with, but I don't have a job in the writer's room. Anyway, that was her image of Heaven - she thought she was with John but obviously he wasn't there, on account of he was alive for a long time and then in Hell for a long time. It's what she wanted Heaven to be, so that's what it was for her.
