Congratulations on having a new monster--the D & D player in me appreciated a marid.

Also appreciated the allusions to Swayze's Roadhouse. Not my favorite Swayze film, but I enjoyed the references anyway.

Nice tie between Agent Dukes and the musical number.

Yes, Cas messed up, but that does lead to a potential way out of this mess. Plus, Cas cleaned it up--out-thought the bad guy and seemed tougher than he has lately. Having to call Dean and admit that he had once again nearly killed his brother (& let's not forget this was the second time Cas has been careless with Sam's soul)--well, I wouldn't have wanted to be in his shoes.

Eileen's presence was also ok--unlike the here-again-and-then-not AU hunters, she should logically still be in the bunker. Some consistency in that area is welcome.

I know some have problems with the episode, but at least Dean has his motivation back. Lee was living Dean's dream, but the dream was corrupted. Trying to figure out how to stop God without Dean nearly got Sam killed, which underscores that Dean can't quit the fight just yet. Looks like next week the guys will finally start moving forward towards a solution.

Overall, I liked it more than I did the season's opening episodes.
