I suspect the montage of irrelevant crazy/funny clips from throughout the show at the beginning was to demonstrate that crazier (or just as crazy stuff) has happened before...;).
Although frankly in terms of "enjoyment buried by ridiculous plot" I felt that a LOT more the previous week. To me a shaman spell that allows someone to communicate with animals is less of a stretch in this 'verse (especially when humans taking on animal form like shifters is an established thing) than the idea of an entire magical realm from storybooks actually existing.
And huh, I thought you would be bothered more by the constant angel-ex-mahina (which is far more extreme than it was with Cas), but I suppose I can see your reasoning. I enjoyed this episode a lot more than some of the other episodes this season. While the show doesn't approach the past, it is still a bit better than last season so far, it seems.
