The episode repeated tonight, and I was thinking about what the Trickster said to Sam just before Dean came back. He said he was trying to teach Sam a lesson, right, that Dean's his weakness, his enemies know it, and it'll be the death of him. The Tricker is a god (or a demi god), so I'm wondering if there's any possibility that he's warning Sam about a specific future happening? Rather than a general warning?

If so, Sam's enemies are demons, bad guys, beings from hell, whatever, unless Sam goes darkside, in which case his enemies could actually be the Good Guys (I hear you guys protesting now - no way, Sam's not a baddy!). Wonder if whoever is responsible for saving Dean from hell is a Good Guy? Is the new supernatural being Kripke told us would make an appearance in 4th season a Good Guy? I wonder. So could Sam somehow die because Dean's been brought back (his weakness that'll be the death of him)? It'd fulfill the Trickster's prediction, if that's what it was.

No, I have not increased my intake of narcotics of late. Maybe I should.

Back to the episode - my girls were in the room and I wasn't paying much attention at that point, but at the end Dean wants to know if Sam's okay, and Sam's looking back at the room and saying he had a dream. Was he thinking about things he'd done and didn't want Dean to know about during the time Dean was dead, or could there be more to it - could he have actually had a dream about the future and what it holds? And am I crazy? Don't answer that. 

I swear I don't have too much time on my hands, it just READS that way. I can't help being freaky geeky.

My 7-year old daughter informed me she thinks Dean died 103 times this episode (half the episode she 'watched' with her eyes closed). So he's died two other times, right, so he's died around 105 times? Good Lord.

I have a headache.

Extremely mixed up over this episode. Really messes with us.

I took the trickster's warning as they have got to stop sacrificing themselves for each other. And from a fan POV, I have to agree. One season it is Dad, then it is Dean, we gotta stop doing THAT! No more deals with the devil. As the adorable Curly Bill (Powers Boothe) says in Tombstone, why I take the deal then drill that ole devil in the ass! I paraphrase of course.

Yeah, I got a little wild over it, but it just struck me as cool if the writers had actually told us what was going to happen and we didn't realize, you know?

As for all the sacrificing and stuff, I see what you're saying, but if they'd never done any of it, Dean would be DAYED, which would be really really bad and no good. I kind of like the angst and craziness of throwing themselves on top of each other (oops that's not exactly what I meant) like a GREAT BIG PYRE OF SACRIFICE:)

But ! On the other hand! It's been done and done, guys, so what next?
