This season's opening was very nicely done. I'm impressed by the way things were sewn together to make sense. I did have a few questions that got some answers to when I watched it for the second time. (Like the waitress, Bridtette)
I loved how they treated the opening sequence. The parallelism between Dean's past and present life was done very nicely. Although the part where Dean was handing out that beer felt kind of a jolt. I'm pretty sure there are better clips of Dean handing Sam a beer and that would've made it more fluid. But then again, that's just me. It could've been a juxtaposition of how different and yet the same Dean's life is - past and present. *shrug*
The Campbells were a bit of a dodgy thing too. Plus I never really trust any character Corin Nemec plays. Parker Lewis, yeah sure but this dude? They've also revealed a bit about their dodgy-ness when they've captured that jinn.
And what is up with Dean and yorkies?
The main thing you have to look at in this episode is how Dean struggles with himself with how he's going to lead his life. The crossroads are there and he has to make a decision. He ultimately does but not without the heartbreak of choosing his "family" over Sam.
This episode is a good one. Not a very "in your face, oh my god" kind of opening but rather a more mature one - realistic and yet keeping the Supernatural soul. The series started out young and learned along the way and we now see how the show, the writers and the actors themselves evolve and mature. I think it's great. Kudos to Sera Gamble and all the people at Supernatural!
