Season 15 started out a little rough, episodes 1 and 2 weren't episodes I particularly loved, but this blew me away. The opening five minutes were perfectly directed with an awesome cameo and fantastic action. The monster of the week story line was really entertaining, the vampire mystery was fun to watch and not completely predictable... but what made this one stuck out was the dialogue between Sam and Dean.
I love Castiel, don't get me wrong. However, having Sam and Dean just by themselves for an episode is awesome, they have the best on screen chemistry of pretty much any two characters in television. The Chuck story line was incredible, for me, I was a little conflicted on God deciding to get the approval of his ex girlfriend on his stories... I thought that was initially a bit of a lame story to tell... well, it paid off. The murder of all of Becky's family was terrifying, Chuck's continuing spiral into madness makes the episode really enjoyable to watch.
The last 5 minutes were a particular stand out too, I loved the dialogue between Sam and Dean, the decision to keep on going and fight the good fight in the memories of the people they've lost was nice to see. Hearing Sam talk about Jessica again, even if its only for a brief moment, was fantastic. It reminds us of how far the boys have come since the pilot episode.
POSITIVES:
NEGATIVES:
SCORE: 9.0/10
(Edit: My episode didn't have any narration... Just wanted to state that)

POSITIVES:
- Fantastic opening sequence.
- Awesome Monster Of The Week Story line.
- Chuck story line was fantastic.
- No Dean and Castiel drama.
- Incredible last five minutes.
NEGATIVES:
- Sam and Dean outsmarted by that family... Surely by now the boys should be preparing more to make sure that these situations of being held at gunpoint aren't going to happen... I mean, its been 15 seasons.
