Yeah. I think some of the things that irritated me about the season are irritating me more rather than less when they are handing me such . . . likable . . . episodes, especially when the eps feel to me as though they are being pushed as "you'll love this!" a bit the way certain characters seem to come pre-boxed as "fan favorites". The reset reversal of their feelings about John drives me crazy. It bothers me somewhat to have Dean's feelings about Sammy as family used to paper over his much more conflicted feelings about Sam as individual, and it also bothers me that two weeks in a row we've gotten much more of a glimpse of how Dean is thinking and feeling about Sam than vice versa.
In matters large and small, I'm increasingly convinced that continuity of canon isn't something we can expect or even something they are aiming for, and that makes me very sad. I'm actually getting more out of struggling with the earlier part of the season, where the discontinuities are jarring enough to be potentially creative for me, than now, when things are smoother and no closer to real care.
