ITA on Dean saving Sam being the only option. he's willing to go to *any* length to that end, and Castiel seems to underestimate that.
also agreed on john's wide-eyedness, though really, all we saw was naivete towards the supernatural. it was mary's perception that he was a complete optimist (ETA what I meant was that there may have been things he wasn't showing her...they still seemed to be in a very young stage of love, and we hide our worst selves at that point)
that's an interesting theory about the time travel not being "real." that's not how I would interpret it, but it's still valid. to me, all the pieces fit too well with Dean in the picture for that to be true. even Mary...i'd have been surprised if she *did* remember Dean's advice when the time came. and the YEDrecognizing Dean is minor enough to slide.
