Season 8 had its ups and downs, and a *lot* of people didn't like Amelia at all. I think they were going to go with a weird kind of 'she was all a hallucination' with her, and then halfway through decided not to, and she's just generally a mess.
Sam thinking Dean was dead...and deciding for once not to ruin himself and the world getting Dean back - i get that, totally, and Sam was trying to have a life, that he knew Dean wanted for him. But then the writers kind of veered from that and made it all 'he just shrugged it all off' and i have *no idea* wtf they were going for there, it was just weird. I think they kind of lost the plot a bit, season seven, struggled through season eight, and finally got back on track with nine.
There were, yes, some *amazing* moments, through the trials, of Sam and Dean reconnecting in a real way, and some amazing Sam moments, and even Crowley moments.
The Bunker is so fucking *amazing*, I love it. They needed a base. They needed a bit of stability and safety, after all this time, and now that Bobby is gone. Hunteri Heroici was hilarious, with the Wile E. Coyote moments and the freeze-frame thing (I remember that so strongly from my childhood). And the last shot of Castiel, just sitting and listening to the mental music with...B. J. Hunnecutt! Heh. I know that wasn't the character name, but I can't remember.
And the *very* final scene, of the angels falling? Omg. That was so incredible, and so heartbreaking, and so....*world-ending*, you know? It looked like the beginning of the end, thousands of lights falling from the sky, just crazy.
I think you'll enjoy season nine, quite a bit, though it has it's moments of 'omg, no, no, no!!!' :)
