I enjoyed the episode.
I was convinced that it really was their Dad. Bummer.

This episode was good, but a little disappointing. First, other than character development stuff, for all the focus on the Dean's soul plot line they made virtually no progress there. Normally I wouldn't have expected much but the "Then" recap really got me psyched for something substantial to happen on that front.
The other thing was that I was never even close to sold on the MOTW/ghosts ruse. The disappointing part was that it felt like it was almost there but something was botched in the execution or script. I can't put my finger on it but I feel like they gave it away early in the episode and it cut the legs out from under the calls from dad drama. That stuff was still good, although it felt like they rushed it along in order to focus on the conflict between Dean and Sam.
