I agree with pretty much everything you've said here. I don't think Jimmy is still in there. I so hope he's not. I shudder to think of that poor man having to stay on it that vessel and go through all of that.
Dean, Dean, Dean . . . breaking my heart into a tiny million pieces. But that's just what he is: BROKEN. Not dead. He's just stuffed all of that so far down in himself, repressed all of his emotions so deeply that he feels dead. He needs someone to remind him how much he loves life and how passionate he still is, that there's still stuff worth fighting for. And that someone would be Cas. ;D
Loved your comparison of the boys to season 6 Buffy and Willow. Interesting to think that they both had to hit rock bottom before they were able to recover--Buffy crawled out of that grave with Dawn, ready to begin her new life and show Dawn the world, and Willow had to learn to control her addiction and use her powers for good. Will we see Sam learning to control and use his powers for good, and will we see Dean crawl back out of his hell because of Cas giving him something to live for, with him wanting to show Cas the world and how wonderful it is? Thoughts to ponder....
