Ah---those halcyon days when I just wanted to smack Dean, instead of hug him and tell him everything was going to be all right (which would be a fib anyway).
For the first "Black Sabbath, Metallica & Motörhead" these're some of the best musical groups, and for the second, why "not Sammy, it's Sam"? Exactly Sammy! 😂
Fun fact: When Sam picks up a cassette and says "Metallica?", Dean takes this cassette, puts it in the car player, aaaand…. oh wow, starts playing Back in Black by AC/DC
People generally agree that the show went downhill after a little while, and I can definitely see where they're coming from- I do still greatly enjoy the later seasons, but some villains like the alternate Michael stopped being cool and just got annoying I like how they still occasionally had regular milk run esque cases later too, they were good breaks from the crazy storyline :) Def has to be one of my favorite shows
