I am SOOOO looking forward to As Time Goes By in my rewatches :D Love that ep so much. I love time-travel and all the time-travel eps of SPN. So awesome <3<3 Loved Hunteri Heroici too <3<3 not only because of the silliness, but because of the underlying theme of facing reality, which is carried on into LARP and the Real Girl.
I do think that Sam's reaction and actions toward Benny, and even the fact that he believed Dean to be dead and quit hunting all together, probably all has to do with his own feelings of worthlessness that we see at the end of the season. The Benny eps are very hard to watch though because of it. If anything good came of Taxi Driver, it was that Sam reconciled himself with Benny. I agree about the ridiculousness of Hell and Purgatory that ep. It could have been so good. It's unfortunate.
