I've been making heart eyes at Berens since the episode aired. It had everything I hate - what I call a plotline that specifically excludes Sam, the angel, one of those multi-plotlines that makes it hard to put enough emphasis on any one story to get interested in it, Dean's Epic Manpain (tm), did I mention the lack of Sam? Basically what I'm saying is that I'd have skipped this one if Berens wasn't writing it.
I'm so glad I tuned in. Berens made the amount of Sam that we had meaningful. We got little details, like what Sam does in his free time. We got to see the BAMF Castiel from seasons 4 - 6 again, and if we're going to have a Cas that's the one I want to see. My attention was held through the entire episode, and even the parts that have me screaming and ranting have me screaming and ranting because of consistent character issues and not "WTF were the writers thinking?"
I mean, how incredible is that? I would have skipped this episode, because it had nothing that interested me. And I'm still giddy about it. I think I have a li'l writer crush.
