I liked Amelia more as the season went on I suppose, but her intro was just so awkward, we only really got to know her as someone who was being very abrasive with a Sam who was still grieving and in shock for his brother, so it was hard to warm to her
And exactly, in the premiere it felt much more balanced, so you could understand why Dean was so hurt at Sam not looking for him, but also understand why Sam had learnt his lesson and would not want to tear the world apart trying to bring his brother back from the dead, but then the rest of the season seemed to just take on the tone of what a crappy brother Sam was to not ~bother~ looking? I wonder if it was because they wanted something like that to give Sam a lot of guilt in the finale when Dean is trying to talk him down, but c'mon he would have never just abandoned Dean in Purgatory if he believed that he was still alive and there was a way of getting him back, that doesn't fit with his past characterisation at all. The writers could have given Sam more chance to explain that he believed that Dean was dead and that he just lost hope, rather than zero Sam PoV when he's just stood there looking guilty at 'you did look for your brother?'
Agreed on how incredible the image of the Angels falling was :) And the bunker is definitely a great set, I really appreciated how they managed to tie in that past with the Winchester's so smoothly without it feeling shoehorned in
