My thoughts on Meet the New Boss (Season 7, Ep. 1) Spoilers!

Slow Ride by Foghat to open the season ...I was a bit surprised and I don't quite get it.  But I love the song though.

The Title card sequence...I don't love it, but I don't hate it either.

Crowley - I love the humour he injects.  We also got a new nickname for Sam.  I kind of like Giraffe better than I do Moose, but...meh.  [Why can't we just stick with Puppy?  Why?  Ahem...sorry getting off topic.]

Bobby - He saw what Dean couldn't.  That really struck a chord with me.  Even in the scene where Bobby's coming down the basement stairs and Sam is freaking out...and Bobby paused for a minute probably having flashbacks to what Soulless Sam tried to do in the Appointment in Samarra ep,  he didn't let on.
This is one of those episodes that showcases how much Bobby is like a father to Sam and Dean.

Death - I want to see him pop up again, but then again I don't, because he was po'd at Dean big time.

Dean - I get why for a while last night Dean was just like we can't fix this...I know he's not the only one who's tired, but everyone's got their own coping strategies...Some good, some not so good.  I feel like the important thing was he pulled himself together and that he tried to help Cas.  As for trying to help Sam, I think they'll delve into that more next week.  It's only like a 40 min ep and they can only really solve one crisis at a time.  I think sometimes that has a tendency to be forgotten.

Sam -  I already had an inkling of what we were in for, because of the previews.  When the nosebleed started I knew my heart was going to get ripped out...Those hallucinations were brutal and it makes me wonder what the frequency of them was...Will they be coming more frequently or lasting longer and is there a way to stop them?   I'm guessing some of those questions will be addressed next week, but I just felt so badly for Sam.  And then, the scenes where he was flinching...I think when Cas threatened to put him back into the cage or the pit or wherever Sam flinched.  And I definitely remember seeing him do it when Lucifer was messing with him.   Despite all this, he still reached out to Cas...This episode is one more example of why I love this character. [ I didn't want to spam tweet, I didn't want to gush and I didn't want to fangirl, but I mean every word of this post. Note:  There is no way I could miss that black V-neck shirt, but if I blog in detail about it, I will need a bib.  I am so very sorry. I just can't.  Thank you.]
That being said, can't wait to see what happens next week.

Cas/Godstiel/Leviathan  -  Misha Collins was beyond amazing last night.  Godstiel didn't seem like a villain to me, I think Leviathan warped his intentions though, as we saw at the campaign office.    I'm terrified of Leviathan.  I'm also amazed that Godstiel's power to heal still worked with Leviathan in there.  I love that Cas apologized.  I kind of wish both Sam and Dean had gotten to hear it though.   I also believe that Dean does care about Cas, he just has a lot of trouble demonstrating that to anyone but Sam, and even then, he still seems to have a little trouble.  [It's the whole "No Chick Flick Moments" thing.]
