I've seen one post that went off the handle but every other post has loved this ep too. I thought it was so clever, well put together, and relevant to the storyline. You're so right about the continuity too! The previously gave me chills both times I watched the episode yesterday. I loved it! Jensen kicked major ass.

You're clever too! : ) Holding information/knowledge hostage from people (and/or angels) you're working with has never made sense to me, so I seldom remember to think about that angle.

Entirely making up for season three!
