feliciakwDean: I can't live on rabbit food. I'm a warrior!
Sam: Dean, you'll be fine.
Dean: You don't know that!
Just some impressions . . .
1) Poor Dean going into toxic shock, needing his road food. His hopeful look that the "all natural" pie was okay. Oh, Dean. *bakes him homemade pie*
2) Really, really enjoying the Alpha!Vamp. He's fascinating in a morbid and creepifying way. The line about him snatching Emily from the playground reminded me of the vision/dream/message thingy from "Twi Hard," with the little girls on the playground. He makes for a sly and fascinating dangerous "ally."
Also, Eve was somehow connected to the leviathans? That would explain the black goo when she died. Makes for a puzzle, though, with her being killed only with phoenix ash (still one of my fave scenes from S6) vs. borax.
3) Seriously, Bobby is going to hurt one of the boys. The fact that he broke the mirror that Dean was standing beside kinda tells me that it might be Dean.
4) Oh, Dean, you with your word coinage. Vamptonite.
5) And perhaps most important *g*, Dean's new leather jacket. I've been wanting Dean to acquire "his own" leather jacket ever since the old one was packed away in a box/stolen en route to a photo shoot. He's his own man now, and the new jacket reflects that. (I've also read that Jensen helped design the new jacket, which tickles me greatly. That's awesome. It's similar in cut to the black one he's worn to conventions, yes?)
Also? Jensen looked really good. But then, when doesn't he?
Also also? Smart!Dean! One of my favorite flavors of Dean!
Mileage varies, but I was amused by the "see you next season" line. Nice shout-out to the renewal. (I wonder if that's why we got the renewal announcement when we did, prior to this ep, so that the ep would not steal what was left the the network announcement's thunder. Or maybe I'm just overanalyzing.) Also, does this mean that we get alpha!vamp back next season? The possibility intrigues me.
Not sure where they're going with the bone of a righteous mortal thing. Precedent has said that Dean is the "righteous man." But "as light and good as the leviathan are hungry and dark" is kind of cryptic. I think I've written before about Dean being what I see as the messiah figure in the show. And he is the character that hasn't fallen, so to speak, when he was on this plane of existence (he broke in Hell, but his being a/the righteous man is what made his breaking significant to begin with). I shall wait and see.
All in all, this ep played better on second viewing and had some nice touches of interaction between the brothers.
As a side note: I've discovered my new favorite Mexican beer: Sol. (Not El Sol, as that would be Dean's favorite (fictitious) beer.) I like it better than Corona, and actually, better than Modelo, which we tried last week.

"Hurting Dean is pretty much a staple ever since first season. I'd just like Sam to step in and take care of him, rather than what went down in S4 when Sam was distracted by other things."
Yes- I would love to see that!
I'd also love to see the show allow Dean to suffer without calling him a "whiny princess" or a "Nancy".
I would also love to see them let him suffer without shoving that pain to the background so that they can deal with Sam's pain.

Smart!Dean! \o/
